Product Specific Applications
Personal Fall Arrest: Safewaze Cable Horizontal Lifelines can be used as part of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for a maximum of 2 users. The structure utilized for attachment must be capable of withstanding a load of 5,000 lbs in all directions permitted by the system. The maximum allowable free fall is 6 ft.
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage
connector to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or an
obstruction. When calculating fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’ safety
factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of Lanyard/SRL, and all
other applicable factors (See Figure 1).
FIGURE 1
For all applications: worker weight capacity range for 1 User (including all
clothing, tools, and equipment) is 420 lbs. Capacity range for 2 Users is
(130-310 lbs) for each User (including all clothing, tools, and equipment)

Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for
eliminating or minimizing all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when the
anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. Always work as
close to in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls significantly
increase the likelihood of serious injury or death in the event of a fall (See
Figure 2).
FIGURE 2
Compatibility Of Connections
Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been
designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they
become oriented. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable
of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible
with the anchorage or other system components (See Figure 4). Do not use
equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may
unintentionally disengage (See Figure 3). Connectors must be compatible in
size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required
by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze if you have any questions
about compatibility.
NOTE: SOME SPECIALTY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. CONTACT
SAFEWAZE WITH QUESTIONS.
FIGURE 3 – UNINTENTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to
connect a snap hook or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the
gate of the snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the
hook or carabiner presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open
the gate (3). This allows the snap hook or carabiner to disengage (4) from the
connection point.
Making Connections
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking
and/or twist lock. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and
strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors
are fully closed and locked.
Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. See figure 4 for examples
of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
- To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
- In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back hooks).
- In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual confirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.
- To each other.
- By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as allowed for Tie Back models.
- To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
- In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
- NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
NOTE: Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size
D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook
or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI
Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate.
Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your
application.

Number of Users:
Maximum two users at one time with a capacity up to 310 lbs. per worker
including tools and equipment.
Maximum one user at one time with a capacity up to 420 lbs. per worker
including tools and equipment.
Full Body Harnesses
Only Full Body Harnesses may be used with a Safewaze Cable Horizontal
Lifeline.
Use of Energy Absorbing Lanyards
Fall Clearance Requirements when utilizing a 6’ Energy Absorbing Lanyard with
the HLL system are indicated in the fall clearance table (Section 10, page 15)
of this manual. The fall clearance distances indicated are the total required
from the properly installed HLL system to the next lower level or obstruction.
The user should ensure that the distance between the installed lifeline and
the next lower level is at least equal to, or greater than the values given in
Section 10, page 15 of this manual prior to use of the HLL system. Failure to
calculate proper fall clearances prior to use of the system could result in
serious injury or death.
Note: Never use combinations of components or subsystems that may affect,
or interfere with the safe function of each other.
Use of Self-Retracting Devices
Fall Clearance Requirements when utilizing an SRL with the HLL system in an
overhead installation are indicated in the fall clearance table (Section 10.1,
page 16) of this manual. When using Personal SRLs with the HLL system, where
the installation could possibly be below dorsal D-ring Height, refer to the
fall clearance table (Section 10.2, page 17) of this manual. The user must
ensure that the Personal SRL being utilized is not connected to the HLL at a
distance below the dorsal D-ring, which exceeds the maximum allowed as
specified by the SRL manufacturer. When calculating fall clearance distances,
the user must add the total deflection of the HLL system during a fall event,
to the total deceleration distance of the SRL being used. The combination of
the system deflection, and the deceleration distance of the SRL, when added to
the Harness Stretch of the full body harness, worker’s height, and Safety
Factor equals the minimum required fall clearance. Failure to calculate proper
fall clearances prior to use of the system could result in serious injury or
death.

The Safewaze Cable Horizontal Lifeline is designed as a temporary reusable anchorage subsystem for the attachment of up to two Personal Fall Arrest systems. The Cable Horizontal Lifeline subsystem is comprised of Galvanized Cable, a Galvanized Steel Tensioner, and a Steel or Web Energy Absorber The system also contains two self-closing, self-locking, ANSI Z359.12 compliant end attachment carabiners. One carabiner secures the energy absorber to an end anchorage, and the other is used to secure the HLL to the opposite anchorage point. Fist Grips are included in order to create an addtional thimble connection at free end of cable.
Installation and Use
Before Each Use
Users of personal fall arrest systems must have a rescue plan in place if the
user cannot rescue themselves, as well as the means to carry out the rescue.
The user must read and understand these instructions, as well as the User
Instructions for every component/subsystem of the personal fall arrest system.
The entire Safewaze Cable Horizontal Lifeline system, and its subsystems, must
be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, or other deterioration. All
snaphooks and carabiners must be able to self-close and lock. Check the
operation of self retracting lifelines by pulling smoothly on the lifeline,
then pull sharply on the lifeline to engage the locking mechanism. All webbing
and cable must be inspected for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, unsplicing,
discoloration, or other signs of wear or damage. Sewn terminations should be
secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. All cable splices should be secure.
System must be properly tensioned. No load indicators shall be deployed.
Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must be immediately
removed from service, in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR
1910.66 and 1926.502.
FIGURE 7 – STANDARD ENERGY ABSORBER INSTALLATION EXAMPLE Cross Arm Strap System Installation with Integral Energy Absorber
Step 1. Install Anchorage Connector
Wrap the Cross Arm Strap around the anchorage as many times as necessary to
achieve desired length, ensuring strap is wrapped at least twice around the
end anchorage. A minimum of two wraps around the end anchorage helps prevent
sliding of the anchor straps during use. Once desired length is achieved, pass
the small D-ring of the anchor strap through the large D-ring and connect the
system to the small D-ring. Only connect to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm
Strap.
Other approved anchorage connectors which meet the 5,000 lbs. strength
requirement, may be used in place of the supplied FS810-6 Cross Arm Straps.
See anchorage connector user instructions for proper installation.
Step 2. Connect Integral Energy Absorber to End Anchorage
Connect the Integral Energy Absorber to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm
Strap using one of the supplied carabiners. Connect the tensioner to the
opposite anchorage point (cross arm strap) via the other supplied carabiner.
Step 3. Attach Free End of Cable to Tensioner
Prior to attaching the cable to the tensioner, turn both ends of the tensioner
to increase its overall length. Determine the approximate span length of cable
required. After determining the length needed, form a thimble attachment point
on the free end of the cable. Remove the bolt from the clevis on the
tensioner. Take the extra supplied thimble and form the cable in a loop using
the thimble as a guide (See Figure 9A). Wrap the cable around the thimble
ensuring there is a minimum 12” tail of cable to allow connection of the fist
grips. Insert the thimble and cable loop into the open end of the clevis, and
re-install the clevis bolt ensuring it is through the thimble (See Figure 9B).
Remove excess slack from the system by hand and attach the free end of the
cable back to itself using the supplied fist grips (See Figure 9B). Torque
fist grips to 35 ft lbs. (See Figure 9C).
Step 4. Tension the System
Insert a large screwdriver, bar, etc… into the gap between the threaded rods
of the tensioner. This gap was created in Step 3 when extending the overall
length of the tensioner. Rotate the body of the tensioner which draws the ends
of the tensioner assembly towards the center of the unit, thereby tensioning
the system (See Figure 9D & 9E). To determine proper tension of the system,
refer to the HLL Sag Table (Figure 12, Page 18), and tension until proper sag
is achieved.
FIGURE 8 – COIL ENERGY ABSORBER INSTALLATION EXAMPLE Cross Arm Strap System Installation with Coil Energy Absorber
Step 1. Install Anchorage Connector
Wrap the Cross Arm Strap around the anchorage and pass the small D-ring end
through the large D-ring end. Wrap as many times as necessary to achieve
desired length, ensuring strap is wrapped at least twice around the end
anchorage. A minimum of two wraps around the end anchorage helps prevent
sliding of the anchor straps during use. Only connect to the small D-ring of
the Cross Arm Strap.
Other approved anchorage connectors, which meet the 5,000 lbs strength
requirement, may be used in place of the supplied FS810-6 Cross Arm Straps.
See anchorage connector user instructions for proper installation.
Step 2. Connect Coil Energy Absorber to End Anchorage
Connect the squared end of the Coil Energy Absorber to the small D-ring of the
Cross Arm Strap using one of the supplied carabiners.
Step 3. Attach Tensioner
Prior to attaching the Tensioner to the Coil Energy Absorber, turn both ends
of the tensioner to increase its overall length. Attach the clevis of the
tensioner to the coil energy absorber by removing the bolt from the clevis,
and inserting the bolt back through the clevis and predrilled hole in the
rounded end of the coil energy absorber (See Figure 8).
Step 4. Attach Free End of Cable To Tensioner
Determine the approximate span length of cable required. After determining the
length needed, form a thimble attachment point on the free end of the cable.
Remove the bolt from the clevis on the tensioner. Take the extra supplied
thimble and form the cable in a loop using the thimble as a guide (See Figure
9A). Wrap the cable around the thimble ensuring there is a minimum 12” tail of
cable to allow connection of the fist grips. Insert the thimble and cable loop
into the open end of the clevis, and re-install the clevis bolt ensuring it is
through the thimble (See Figure 9B). Remove excess slack from the system by
hand and attach the free end of the cable back to itself using the supplied
fist grips (See Figure 9B). Torque fist grips to 35 ft lbs. (See Figure 9C).
Step 5. Tension the System
Insert a large screwdriver, bar, etc… into the gap between the threaded rods
of the tensioner. This gap was created in Step 3 when extending the overall
length of the tensioner. Rotate the body of the tensioner which draws the ends
of the tensioner assembly towards the center of the unit, thereby tensioning
the system (See Figure 9D & 9E). To determine proper tension of the system,
refer to the HLL Sag Table (Figure 12, Page 18), and tension until proper sag
is achieved.
FIGURE 9 – TENSIONER OPERATION The Safewaze Cable Horizontal
Lifeline is designed for spans up to 100 ft. in length. To ensure optimal
safety, Safewaze highly recommends the inclusion of an intermediate anchorage
point for spans exceeding 60 ft. Incorporating an intermediate anchorage
effectively reduces the span length, leading to lower fall clearance
requirements. The selection of components for the intermediate anchorage may
vary, depending on the chosen setup/installation method. It is important to
understand that when utilizing an intermediate anchorage, calculation of Fall
Clearance is based on the distance between the end anchorage and the
intermediate anchorage. For spans longer than 60 ft., use of an energy
absorber is required at each end of the system.
Figures 10 A and 10 B indicate some examples of Intermediate Anchorages that
may be used with the Cable HLL system as well as the additional energy
absorber.
FIGURE 10 – INTERMEDIATE ANCHORAGE If work operations are complete and the system needs to be
uninstalled, the lifeline tension must be released. To release the tension:
Step 1. Ensure all equipment (SRLs / Energy Absorbing Lanyards), and
users are disconnected from the system prior to Step 2.
Step 2. Using a large screwdriver, rod, wrench, etc…, rotate the body of
the tensioner which allows the tensioner to spread apart, releasing tension on
the system (See Figure 11 A).
Step 3. Once tension has been released as much as possible via the
tensioner, loosen the fist grips on the cable to release remaining tension on
the system (See Figure 11 B & 11 C).
Step 4. System can then be removed and reinstalled in a different
location as necessary.
