INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the Manufacturer's Instructions as required by CSA Z259.2.2 and ANSI Z 359.14.
It should be used as part of the fall protection training program required by law. All PeakWorks' products
are designed and engineered to meet or exceed applicable CSA and ANSI standards along with labour
ministry requirements. WARNING: All persons using this equipment must read and understand all
the instructions and warnings contained in this manual. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death. Do not use this or any other fall protection equipment unless you have been
properly trained.
FALL PROTECTION
It is the employer's responsibility to provide fall protection and training for any worker deemed to be
working at height. In Canada, any worker who is more than 3 meters (10 ft) from the ground or first
obstruction must have fall protection. In the U.S., 6 ft (1.8 m).
SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
PeakWorks equipment has been designed and approved for use only with PeakWorks connectors.
Any substitution of components may result in compatibility issues. Users should always ensure that the
connectors are properly selected and connected so as not to allow a load to be applied to the gate of the
connector. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. Do not use this or any other fall
protection equipment unless you have been properly trained.
TRAINING
All workers and their employer must be trained in the correct use, care and maintenance of this and any
other fall protection equipment used. It is the employer's responsibility to provide proper fall protection
training for all workers using fall protection equipment. Both the worker and the employer must be
aware of the correct and incorrect applications and use of this equipment. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death. Do not use this or any other fall protection equipment unless you have
been properly trained.
RESCUE PLAN
A rescue plan is an integral and critical part of any fall protection plan and system. It is the responsibility
of the employer to have a rescue plan prepared by a competent person. All workers using any fall arrest
system must have a rescue plan prior to using the system.
INSPECTION
This equipment and any other fall protection equipment used in conjunction with it should be inspected
by the worker every time it is used. This equipment must be inspected annually by a competent person.
A competent person is defined by OSHA: "By way of training and/or experience, a competent person
is knowledgeable of applicable standards, is capable of identifying workplace hazards relating to the
specific operation and has the authority to correct them". Details of how to inspect this equipment is
discussed later in the manual.
