5 Installation and Use
Horizontal Offset: When using V-SHOCK EDGE SRL configurations in a horizontal (leading edge) application, lateral
movements to both sides of the center axis shall be limited to a maximum 10 ft (3 m) when the unit is set back ≤ 10ft (3m).
Large horizontal spans shall be avoided, as they can increase forces applied to the structure and introduce swing falls.
Consult the anchor location information in Section
Edge Types: The V-SHOCK EDGE SRL configurations have been tested for horizontal (leading edge) use over a steel
edge without burrs using the methods in ANSI Z359.14-2021 (Class 2) and CSA Z259.2.2-2017 (Class SRL-LE).
Therefore, the V-SHOCK EDGE SRL may be used where a fall may occur over similar edges.
Edge Evaluation: Prior to use, leading edges must be evaluated by a qualified person. Use in these situations should only
be as a last resort. Avoid working where the lifeline will continuously or repeatedly abrade against sharp, jagged, or
abrasive edges. If the risk assessment indicates that an edge could damage the lifeline, then eliminate such contact or
protect the edges using a pad or other means before starting work.
Anchorage Considerations: Horizontal (leading edge) use or anchoring at the feet of the user should be limited wherever
possible to avoid the potential for swing fall and the possibility of the user striking a structure, potentially causing serious
injury. To reduce the risk of a swing fall, anchor directly above the user.
Lateral movements to both sides of the center axis shall be limited to a maximum 10 ft (3 m) when the unit is set back ≤ 10ft
(3m) as shown in Section
level or above. Climbing above the anchorage point is not permitted. Measures shall be taken to prevent use over
unintended edges. Do not work on the far side of an opening opposite the anchorage point or around corners.
WARNING!
• Anchor locations shall adhere to charts in Section
back ≥ 0 ft (0 m)*.
* In leading edge applications with 0 ft (0 m) setback, ensure that setup does not allow housing or top connector to
contact leading edge in the event of a fall.
• Avoid working where the lifeline will continuously or repeatedly abrade against sharp, jagged or abrasive edges.
• Use in these edge situations should only be as a last resort.
• The V-SHOCK EDGE SRL anchorage point shall be at the user's foot level or above.
• Do not work on the far side of an opening opposite the anchorage point or around corners.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
For CSA users: Deployment is equal to [D
deployment based on the results of the dynamic performance testing specified in Clause 7.2, whichever is greater.

6 Fall Clearance Charts
Additionally, while the ANSI Z359.14- 2021 (Class 2) or CSA Z259.2.2-2017 (Class
SRL-LE) standards do not address edges other than steel, the V-SHOCK EDGE
SRL has been tested using the methods in ANSI Z359.14-2014 with the following
edges:
• A cold formed corrugated steel test edge. Edges used for testing were at
thicknesses ranging from 22 gage (0.0295" / 0.7493 mm) to 16 gage (0.0598" /
1.5189 mm). Therefore, V-SHOCK EDGE SRL configurations may be used
where a fall may occur over similar edges.
• A concrete test edge with a compressive strength of 4500 - 5000 psi
manufactured with an unfinished 90° edge without roughness, chipping, or other
irregularities. Therefore, V-SHOCK EDGE SRL configurations may be used
where a fall may occur over similar edges.
