1.1
PURPOSE: Anchorage Connectors are designed to provide anchorage connection points for Fall Arrest
Work Positioning
, or Rescue
3
;
Fall Protection Only: This Anchorage Connector is for connection of Fall Protection equipment. Do not connect
Lifting Equipment to the Anchorage Connector.
1.2
STANDARDS: Your Anchorage Connector conforms to the national or regional standard(s) identified on the front cover
of these instructions. If this product is resold outside the original country of destination, the re-seller must provide these
instructions in the language of the country in which the product will be used.
1.3

used as part of an employee training program as required by national, regional, or local standards. 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.
1.5
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
on-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 proficiency.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1
ANCHORAGE: Anchorage structure requirements vary with the system application and whether it is a certified
anchorage
or non-certified anchorage

system is attached must sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted as shown in the following table. Anchorage
strength requirements, along with system applications, are specified below, unless noted or defined otherwise in Table 1:
Fall Protection System
Fall Arrest
Restraint/Travel Restraint
Work Positioning
Rescue
When more than one system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths stated above must be multiplied by the number
of systems attached to the anchorage. See ANSI Z359.2 for more information.
2.2
PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Figure 1 illustrates the application of this Anchorage Connector. Personal Fall
Arrest Systems (PFAS) used with the system must meet applicable Fall Protection standards, codes, and requirements.
The PFAS must incorporate a Full Body Harness and limit Arresting Force to the following values:
PFAS with Shock Absorbing Lanyard
PFAS with Self Retracting Device (SRD)
2.3
FALL PATH AND SRD LOCKING SPEED: A clear path is required to assure positive locking of an SRD. 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 SRD 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 SRD to lock.
1 Fall Arrest System:
A collection of Fall Protection Equipment configured to arrest a free fall. Protects the user in the event of a fall. Free fall is permitted up to
the limits allowed by the connecting device (either an Energy Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting Device (SRD)).
2 Restraint System:
A collection of Fall Protection Equipment configured to prevent the person's center of gravity from reaching a fall hazard.Prevents the user
from reaching a hazard. No verical free fall is permitted.
3 Work Positioning System:
arrest system. Maximum permissible free fall is 2 feet.
4 Rescue System:
A collection of Fall Protection Equipment configured to remove a person from danger, harm, or confinement to a safe location. No vertical free
fall is permitted.
5 Competent Person:
One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary,
hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
6 User:
A person who performs activities while protected by a Fall Protection system.
7 Authorized Person:
A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed to a fall hazard.
8 Rescuer:
Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.
9  Certified Anchorage:
An anchorage for fall arrest, positioning, restraint, or rescue systems that a Qualified Person certifies to be capable of meeting the
criteria for a certified anchorage according to Section 2.1.
10  Non-Certified Anchorage:
listed in Section 2.1.
