WARNING!
If overhead tie off is not feasible, and an approved system has the potential for a free fall greater than six feet,
and up to a maximum of ten feet, Guardian Fall Protection recommends using a personal fall arrest system
incorporating a Guardian Fall Protection Heavy Duty Shock Absorbing Lanyard. The Heavy Duty Lanyard is
designed to keep fall arresting forces below the required standard of 1,800 lbs. Standard type lanyards will
generate impact fall forces in excess of the legal requirement.
ATTACH TO OVERHEAD
ANCHORS!
SWING FALLS INCREASE
FALL ARREST DISTANCE.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS:
Refer to potential applicable standards. Standards might include OSHA regulations depending on the type of work, and also might include state regulations if
applicable. Consult regulatory agencies for more information on personal fall arrest systems and associated components. This product is designed to comply with
OSHA and ANSIZ359.1 standards when used properly, and in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
LIMITATIONS CONTINUED:
Swing Falls: Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is not
directly above the point where a fall occurs. The force of striking
an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury or death.
Minimize the risk of swing falls by working as close to the
anchorage point as possible. Do not permit a swing fall if
injury could occur. Swing falls will significantly
increase the clearance required when a self retracting
lifeline or other variable length connecting system is
used.
Potential Environmental Hazards: Use of fall protection
equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require
additional precautions to prevent injury to the user or damage to
the equipment. Hazards may include but are not limited to:
chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power lines,
gases, moving machinery, and sharp edges.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Compatibility of Components: Guardian Fall Protection equipment is designed to be used with Guardian approved
components. Please contact Guardian if you have a question regarding compatibility. Making substitutions without approval
from Guardian Fall Protection may lead to injuries and or death by compromising the safety and reliability of the complete
system. A Qualified person can make a determination on compatibility of equipment from different manufacturers. If in
doubt, please contact Guardian Fall Protection for clarification.
Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors (D-rings, hooks, carabiners) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs.
(22kN). Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage. Self
locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI and OSHA. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and
strength.
Making Connections: Only use self-locking snap hooks and carabiners with any Guardian Fall Protection equipment. Do not
use equipment that is not compatible. If you have any questions on compatibility, please call Guardian Fall Protection at
800.466.6385.
PERSONAL FALL ARREST INFORMATION:
Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS): Personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment must meet applicable state,
federal, OSHA, and ANSI requirements. A full body harness must be worn when this equipment is used as a component of a
personal fall arrest system. As required by OSHA, the personal fall arrest system must be capable of arresting the user’s fall
with a maximum arresting force of 1,800 lbs., and limit the free fall to six feet or less.
