NOTE: When it is infeasible to limit free fall distance to 6 ft (1.8 m) or less, U.S. Federal OSHA has provided
for exemption from this rule. In an interpretation of 29 CFR 1926.502 (d)(16) dated December 4, 1996,
OSHA issued the ruling that personal fall arrest systems may be used in applications where the free fall
distance may exceed 6 ft (1.8 m), provided the employer can document that the arresting force limits are
maintained and the assembled system will operate properly. MSA 12 ft Free Fall Lanyards meet the
requirements of this ruling, when used as part of a compatible personal fall arrest system that includes a
qualified anchorage and a full body harness. See product label for specific permissible free fall distance.
MSA recommends that users consult national, state, and local regulations for their specific industry
application to be assured of compliance.
"Arc Flash Rated" indicates that the product is acceptable for use as part of a Personal Fall Arrest System
exposed to potential arc flash situations. Since these products fall outside the scope of ASTM F887, the
product has undergone arc exposure and then tested to the appropriate industry standard to ensure
reliability in the event of a fall.
