5.5 Incorrect Use:
Additional factors to avoid, shown in Figure 7:
Do not allow the lifeline to drape over and edge during normal work as this may abrade, damage, or
otherwise compromise the lifeline.
Do not attach the anchor on one side of an opening and work on the other side, as this creates
multiple possible leading edges and potential swing fall hazards.
5.6 Operation of the SRD:
Before each use, inspect the SRD, see Section 7 for inspection instructions.
