close to the work area with a carabiner. Do not captivate the lifeline
of a self retracting lifeline as this may affect the performance of its
internal braking.
7. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where the connecting subsystem
(i.e. shock absorbing lanyard, self retracting lifeline, full body
harness, etc.) or other components will be in contact with, or
abrade against, unprotected sharp edges. Do not the loop lanyard
around small diameter structural members. If working with
equipment near sharp edges is unavoidable, protection against
cutting must be provided by using a heavy pad or other means
over the exposed sharp edge.
8. RESCUE: Should a fall occur, the user (employer) must have a
rescue plan. If a worker falls and is forced to remain suspended for
any length of time, physical damage to the body or even death can
result. For this reason Werner, OSHA, ANSI, CSA and most local
regulations require that a rescue plan and the means to implement
the rescue plan are in place before use of this equipment.
9. AFTER A FALL: Any equipment which has been subjected to the
force of arresting a fall must be removed from service immediately.
d. Training
OSHA, ANSI, and most local ordinances require that workers using
this product receive adequate training before use of this product.
These instructions and their entire contents should be a part of that
training.
