PRODUCT APPLICATION

1.1

PURPOSE: Flexiguard

System (PFAS).

WARNING:

Unless otherwise noted, Capital Safety equipment is designed for use with Capital Safety approved components and

subsystems only. Substitution or replacement with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment

and may affect safety and reliability of the complete system. Do not hang, lift, or support tools or equipment from the Anchorage

System, or attach guy lines for antennas, phone lines, etc.

1.2

SUPERVISION: Installation of this equipment must be supervised by a Qualiﬁ ed Person

supervised by a Competent Person

1.3

TRAINING: This equipment must be installed and used by persons trained in its correct application. This manual is to be

used as part of an employee training program as required by OSHA. It is the responsibility of the users and installers of

this equipment to ensure they are familiar with these instructions, trained in the correct care and use of this equipment,

and are aware of the operating characteristics, application limitations, and consequences of improper use of this

equipment.

IMPORTANT:

Training must be conducted without exposing the user to a fall hazard. Training should be repeated periodically.

1.4

RESCUE PLAN: When using this equipment and connecting subsystem(s), the employer must have a rescue plan and

the means at hand to implement and communicate that plan to users, authorized persons

site rescue team is recommended. Team members should be provided with the equipment and techniques to perform a

successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuer proﬁ ciency.

1.5

INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Flexiguard Anchorage System shall be inspected by the user before each use and,

additionally, by a competent person

are described in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). Results of each Competent Person inspection should be

recorded on copies of the "Inspection and Maintenance Log".

1.6

AFTER A FALL: If the Flexiguard Anchorage System is subjected to the forces of arresting a fall, it must be removed from

the ﬁ eld of service immediately and replaced or inspected by an Authorized Capital Safety Representative.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

2.1

ANCHORAGE: Structure on which the Flexiguard Anchorage System is placed or mounted must meet the Anchorage

speciﬁ cations deﬁ ned in Table 1.

FROM OSHA:

Anchorages used for attachment of Personal Fall Arrest Systems shall be independent of any anchorage being used

to support or suspend platforms, and capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs (22 kN) per user attached, or be designed, installed, and

used as part of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System which maintains a safety factor of a least 2, and is under the supervision of a

qualiﬁ ed person.

2.2

PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Figure 1 illustrates typical Fall Arrest applications of this Flexiguard

Anchorage System. Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) used with the system must meet applicable OSHA, ANSI, state,

and federal requirements. The PFAS shall incorporate a Full Body Harness and meet the following capabilities:

PFAS with Shock Absorbing Lanyard

PFAS with Self Retracting Device

IMPORTANT:

Under NO circumstances is a PFAS with a Free Fall distance greater than 6 ft (1.8 m) acceptable for use with the

Flexiguard Anchorage System.

2.3

FALL PATH AND SRL LOCKING SPEED: A clear path is required to assure positive locking of an SRL. Situations which

do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the

body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRL to lock if a fall occurs. Working on slowly shifting material, such as sand

or grain, may not allow enough speed buildup to cause the SRL to lock.

2.4

HAZARDS: Use of this equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require additional precautions to prevent

injury to the user or damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to: heat, chemicals, corrosive

environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving machinery, sharp edges, or overhead materials

that may fall and contact the user or Personal Fall Arrest System.

1 Qualiﬁ ed Person:

A person with a recognized degree of professional certiﬁ cate and with extensive knowledge, training, and experience in the fall protection

and rescue ﬁ eld who is capable of designing, analyzing, evaluating, and specifying fall protections and rescue systems to the extent required by OSHA and other

applicable standards.

2 Authorized Person:

For purposes of the Z359 standards, a person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed

to a fall hazard.

3 Rescuer:

Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.

4 Competent Person:

One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazard-

ous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

5 Inspection Frequency:

inspections.
