WARNING: Fall arrest systems and equipment are life saving products and are designed to reduce the
potential of serious injury in the event of a fall. However, it is important to note that the user may experience an
impact of force on their body in the event of a fall. The victim of a fall may also experience adverse effects due to
prolonged suspension in a Full Body Harness (FBH). In case there is a doubt about the user's ability to utilize this
product, the user must consult a physician. Pregnant women and minors are not considered fit for the use of this
equipment
.
4) IMPORTANT INFORMATION
a ) Always send the equipment back to the
manufacturer, or to the persons or entities
authorized in writing by the manufacturer, for
any repairs if required. NOT all the equipment is
repairable.
b ) Never use any natural material like manila,
cotton, etc. as part of the Fall Protection System.
c ) Fall protection equipment should only be used
for the purpose for which it has been designed.
d ) This equipment should never be used for towing
and hoisting or for any other purpose than its
intended use.
e ) A competent person must ensure compatibility
of the system to minimize any potential for
accidental disengagement
f ) Users shall be trained on all warnings and
instructions provided in this manual.
g ) It is important for all Qualified, Competent and
users to refer to the applicable ANSI Standards
and to the regulations governing occupational
safety.
h ) It is important to keep in mind environmental
hazards when selecting fall protection
equipment.
i ) Extreme environments may require a more
frequent inspection and servicing program of
the fall protection equipment to maintain the
integrity and safety of the equipment.
5) COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY
a ) Component compatibility with
manufactured fall protection equipment is
ensured by strictly following the instructions for
each type of equipment used. However, if the
user utilizes combinations of components or
sub systems that are manufactured by others,
only a "qualified" or "competent" person (as
defined in OSHA) can ensure the compatibility.
If substitutions or replacements are made with
non-approved components or sub systems, then
this may severely affect the compatibility of the
equipment, making the complete system unsafe
for use.
6) COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
7) CONNECTIONS USING CONNECTORS
DEWALT
a ) To ensure the compatibility of the connectors
with their connecting element, it is important
to safeguard that the sizes and shapes of
the connectors and the connecting elements
do not allow their gate mechanisms to open
inadvertently, not withstanding their orientation
with each other. All hooks, carabiners, D-rings
and other such connectors must be capable
of supporting a min. force of 5000 lbs. (23
kN). All connectors must be compatible with
all system components like anchorages, etc.
Never use equipment which is not compatible
as this may cause the connectors to disengage
unintentionally. All connectors must be
compatible in shape and size. As per ANSI
Z359.12-2019 and OSHA, only self-locking snap
hooks and carabiners may be used.
a ) Ensure that only self-locking snap hooks and
carabiners are used with this equipment. All
connections should be compatible in size, shape
and strength. The connectors used should be
suitable to each application. Ensure that they are
fully closed and locked while in use.
