SAFELINK SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

1

This User Manual describes the Safewaze Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System, an engineered personal fall arrest system. When erected, used and maintained as described in this manual, the SafeLink System complies with all OSHA regulations pertaining to personal fall arrest systems and can save the at-risk worker’s life in the event of a fall from an elevated work position.
The SafeLink System is the result of a decade of development. It addresses the difficulties and limitations of working at leading edges at the top surface of buildings under construction, and other applications where workers are required to work horizontally and a fall hazard exists. At such locations, there are few usable anchorage points and those that exist may have severely limited strength.
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ERECTION, USE AND MAINTENANCE PRESENTED IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED PRECISELY. MISUSE OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Subsequent sections of this manual describe and specify the components that comprise a properly installed SafeLink System. What may, on the surface, appear to be minor modifications to the SafeLink System can lead to unexpected, significant and potentially disastrous

changes in the behavior of the SafeLink System. For example, using stronger or stiffer components than specified may cause the system to generate higher forces to the anchorage points, causing the anchorage points to be overloaded. Special field circumstances may require custom designs or components. However, any custom design must be analyzed and authorized by a “qualified person,” as identified by a safety engineer, before that custom SafeLink System may be erected.
State-of-the-art fall protection technology and the Safewaze Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System are still evolving. Safewaze is proud of its role as a leader in developing fall protection technology and is pleased to provide the most effective and practical system available for the safety of workers. As new equipment becomes available, as experience teaches new lessons, and as new approaches are conceived, Safewaze will periodically upgrade the SafeLink System and update this User Manual.

The graphics above provide an overall view of the Safewaze Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System being used during the deck forming operation. The typical SafeLink System uses an overhead horizontal lifeline connected to a Stoplink Brake supported by aluminum posts, cross-arm straps and other approved anchorages covered in this manual. The user wears a full-body harness, and is attached to the overhead horizontal lifeline with a Self- Retracting Lifeline (SRL). Self-locking connectors must be used for all attachments of the user to the horizontal lifeline. This User Manual specifies the components to be used and describes permissible variations to the SafeLink System.

It should be noted that the horizontal lifeline is positioned overhead, which provides certain advantages, including:
1. The horizontal lifeline should not constitute an obstruction to the worker;
2. If an employee should fall, it is less likely that the fall would pull another co-worker off of the elevated work surface;
3. The total fall distance is minimized by providing an overhead horizontal lifeline.
THE HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SHOULD NEVER BE POSITIONED BELOW THE ELEVATION OF THE DORSAL D-RING ON THE BACK OF THE FULL-BODY HARNESS.

DO NOT USE A PVC SLEEVE THAT DOES NOT MEET ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS. Installation of PVC Sleeve for Aluminum Post Cut PVC sleeves to 12 in (304.8 mm), and cast sleeves into freshly poured concrete of 2,000 PSI (13.8 MPa) or greater. Use duct tape to seal the ends of the PVC sleeve, preventing fresh concrete from filling the sleeve. The PVC sleeve must not be cast into concrete within 3-1/2 in (88.9 mm) of any concrete edge. When stirrups exist in the column within 2-1/2 in (63.5 mm) of the top surface, the minimum column size must be no less than 12 in (304.8 mm) in either direction. When no stirrups exist, the minimum column size must be no less than 17 in (431.8 mm). PVC sleeve should be plumb and must be cast to a minimum depth of 11 in (279.4 mm). Ensure the PVC sleeves do not float upwards in the concrete before it sets. To help keep sleeves from floating, punch a small air hole through the duct tape on the bottom of the sleeve, and use a vertical 2×4 in the sleeve, nailed to the top of the form. This method will also help ensure the sleeve stays plumb. A sleeve should normally be placed at the center of the column section. This will minimize the tendency to split the column. When sleeves are placed at the center of the column section, and when column ties exist in the concrete within 2-1/2 in (63.5 mm) of the top surface (thereby crossing the potential fracture surface), the minimum column size permitted is 12 in (304.8 mm) measured perpendicular to the direction of the span of the lifeline system. When there are no such ties, the minimum column dimension measured perpendicular to the span of the lifeline system is 17 in (431.8 mm). Sleeves should never be placed closer than 3-1/2 in (88.9 mm) to any edge of the column cross-section. When possible, request that a column tie be located approximately 2 in (50.88 mm) below the top surface of the column pour (Only one tie shown in Fig.1 for clarity).

The aluminum post is 7 ft-6 in (2.29 m) long. With a 12 in (304.8 mm) embedded sleeve to support the post, the height of the horizontal lifeline is approximately 6 ft-6 in (1.98 m) above the poured height of the column. At this height, the average employee should pass easily under the cable and conveniently reach it to attach a self-retracting device.

FigF. i1g. 1
*Only one tie shown for clarity
Depth of column tie

It is easier and safer to assemble as much of the SafeLink System as possible before raising the assembly to the elevated location. Generally, the horizontal lifeline can be attached to the posts before inserting the posts into the column tops. Final tension of the horizontal lifeline, however, must always be completed with the posts set into the sleeves.

Reinforced Cross-Arm Strap To secure the Cross-Arm Strap, wrap the strap around the concrete column at a height of at least 6 ft-6 in (1.98 m) above the walking / working surface using a choker hitch. This is done by passing one end of the strap through the other end and cinching. Attach the Stoplink Brake by use of a carabiner. Secure the other end of the lifeline to column by tensioning the line as required.

10,000 lb (4535.92 kg) Removable Concrete Anchor The Removable Concrete Anchor is a reusable concrete anchor designed to be used with horizontal lifelines. This device is made for use with concrete columns or walls with a compressive strength of 3,000 PSI (20.7 MPa). The 10,000-lb (4535.92 kg) rating is in any direction up to 90º when placed in concrete. Install the anchor in accordance with user instructions. Attach Stoplink Brake by use of carabiner to Concrete Anchor eyelet.

RebarLink The RebarLink Bracket clamps to twelve (12) # 9 or larger stirruped rebar 6-1/2 ft (1.98 m) above the working surface. With the eye-bolt facing outward, place the

Sleeve no closer than 3-1/2 in (88.9 mm) to any side of the column
17 in (431.8 mm) minimum with tie > 2-1/2 in (63.5 mm) below top of concrete

bracket face perpendicular to the front of the rebar, centered on the cage. Slide the supplied cinching rebar bolts through both plates and tighten together with supplied wing nuts so that the Rebar Link is tightened onto the rebar cage (See Fig. 2). NOTE: When using the RebarLink, Aluminum Posts are not used.
Fig. 2
Rebar Link Typical Installation
FormLink The FormLink Bracket must be attached to the base of a rebar cage. Receiver sleeve must face the direction of tension in the system. To attach the FormLink Bracket to the base of the rebar cage, place the front and back bracket at the top of the concrete base. Slide the threaded bars through the holes on the front bracket into the slots of the back bracket. The front and back panels of the FormLink Bracket must capture a minimum of six (6) #7 or larger rebar, two (2) with the front panel and two (2) with the back panel, with the threaded bars. Hand-tighten all four (4) wing nuts, then add an additional 1/2 in (12.7 mm) turn to secure.

Insert Aluminum Post Each Aluminum Post has two (2) sets of 9/16 in (14.29 mm) holes set 4 in (101.6 mm) apart and at 90º for the eye-bolts. Install eye- bolts into

the Aluminum Post. Insert aluminum post into PVC Sleeve, or applicable receiver sleeve on the anchorage connector. Concrete must have a cured

compressed strength of 2,000 PSI (13.8 MPa) for system use. Aluminum post must be inserted into PVC sleeve.

INSTALLATION-STOPLINK BRAKE W/TENSION INDICATOR 11

Stoplink BRAKE Connect the Stoplink Brake to the anchorage connector at one end of the system using the supplied carabiner. The end of the system with the Stoplink Brake is the live end of the system. The dead end of the system is the end with the Come-A-Long tensioning device.
ATTACH COME-A-LONG or TURNBUCKLE Install the adjustable end of either the Come-A-Long or Turnbuckle directly to the anchorage connector.
ATTACH CABLE Attach the live end of the cable to the cable eye on the Stoplink Brake using an approved carabiner. Pass the cable through the carabiner attached to the Stoplink Brake and form an eye using two fist-grip cable clamps. Use a torque wrench to tighten fist-grip evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching 30 ft lbs (4.15 kg-force) of torque. Take the other end of the cable and pass it through the eye of the Come-A-Long or Turnbuckle. Again, form an eye using two fist-grip cable clamps.
Once complete, count the number of threads from the end

of the nut on the fist-grip clamps. Installers should always tighten clamps to a numbered thread count; this will eliminate the need for torque wrenches. Spot-check periodically to ensure compliance. Per OSHA 1926.251, 5 in (127 mm) of rope is turned back and the first clip is applied one base width from the dead end of the rope. The second clip is applied as near the eye loop as possible.
TENSION THE SYSTEM Initial tension in the horizontal lifeline can be created using either the Come-A-Long or a Turnbuckle.
Tensioning with the Come-A-Long: With the Come-A-Long connected as per the steps in the previous section, engage the drive lever by pushing the black plastic-covered spring (on the handle) rearward and pivoting the handle back and forth. To release tension, disengage the drive lever by pushing the spring forward. Pivot the handle forward until the stop lever is contacted. Continue to apply pressure against the stop lever until it releases and allow the handle to pivot backward. Repeat this procedure to release the load a notch at a time.
Tensioning with a Turnbuckle: With the turnbuckle connected per `Attach Cable’ section, the tension can be adjusted by rotating the frame,

which causes both eye bolts to be screwed in or out simultaneously.
Reading the Built-In Load Indicator The load indicator protruding from the top of the Stoplink brake Tension Indicator will show 3 labels to indicate the amount of tension in the system: green, yellow and red. For spans less than 60 ft, stop tensioning once the green label is showing. For spans more than 60 ft, stop tensioning once both the green and yellow labels are visible.
DO NOT TENSION BEYOND YELLOW LEVEL
IF THE RED INDICATOR IS VISIBLE, REDUCE TENSION ON SYSTEM.
SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap With an approved carabiner, attach the SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap directly to the anchorage connector eye- bolt that is connected to the ComeA-Long. Attach the other end of the SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap directly to the cable lifeline, adjust it so that it is taut.
Note: The SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap is only required when the ComeA- Long is left in-line with the system.

Whizzler Applications and the Stoplink Brake: While the Whizzler and Post can be used with any of our Aluminum Post Bases, there are specific instances where the StopLink Brake must be installed and used with the Whizzler and Post. If the Whizzler and Post are installed with the FS-EX2504 (Precast Sleeve), 019-8034/8035 (SafeLink Post Baseplate), or the 022-8076/77 (SafeLink I-Beam

B. Figure SA 2 illustrates an appropriate application when the stanchion is set back from the edge. Table 1 gives the safe working height which varies with distances “D” and “B” as indicated in Figure SA 2. An “Interior” application is one that has stringers extending out from the leading edge at a spacing along the leading edge not to exceed 6 ft (1.83 m). (Figure SA 2 shows an “Exterior” application with no stringers.)
C. The distances indicated in Table 1 assume the SafeLink System is at least 78 in (1.98 m) above work surfaces. Lower installation heights require greater safe working heights.
D. Use care to ensure the Lifeline of the SRL does not wrap around the aluminum post or other obstruction. Web SRLs are authorized for use with the Whizzler and Post. If using a Web SRL, ensure there is no possibility lifeline can make contact with any edge.

SUBDUED EDGE GAUGE

13

Safewaze is a firm believer in 100% compliance when it comes to job site safety. We also understand that on
occasion, products used in the field may not meet the rigid requirements of today’s voluntary standards but
remain safe for use in specific applications. In order to provide clarification in the field as to what

edges are are considered “subdued” Safewaze includes the Subdued Edge Gauge. This tool allows users to determine if a contact edge falls within the parameters of allowable use with a standard cable SRL when connected to the SafeLink System.

TYPE II INTERMEDIATE ANCHORAGE / SWING FALL

19

Type II Intermediate Anchorage Posts for Beam Conditions
When Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System spans exceed 65 ft (19.81 m), or when a span needs to be reduced to accommodate low clear-story height work, the use of an intermediate anchorage post should be considered. Temporary intermediate anchorage posts are only permitted for use in beam soffit conditions and the system limits the number of users to one (1) as outlined: NOTE: If using standard FS-EX5501-5 posts as intermediate anchorages, i.e., embedded in concrete, the number of users can be up to four (4) per system.
Intermediate anchorage connectors may be added to a system to help reduce the required clearance by decreasing the length of the flexible horizontal lifeline span.
The Type II Intermediate Anchor Post requires its base installation to be secured to the soffit with four (4) 3/8in (9.55 mm) x 1-1/2 in (38.1 mm) lag bolts with at least two(2) of these lags into the runner beneath. Only one (1) employee may be tied off to the system at one time. Refer to Table 2 on Page 15 of this manual for fall clearance values for a single user.

Type II Intermediate Anchorage Post (FS-EX2517)

Swing Fall Conditions Swing falls are dangerous and must be avoided. Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall occurs. The force of striking an object while swinging (horizontal speed of the user due to pendulum effect) may cause serious injury. In a swing fall with an SRL, the total vertical fall distance will be greater than if the user had fallen when directly below the anchorage point. The user must therefore account for an increase in the total free fall distance. SRL’s provide greater horizontal and vertical mobility than lanyards, increasing the opportunity for swing falls. Minimize swing falls by working as close to directly below the anchorage point as possible. To reduce the possibility of a swing fall, work

directly under the lifeline. Striking objects horizontally, due to the pendulum affect, may cause serious injury. When working on beam soffits, swing falls may be controlled by using anchorage connectors that move with the worker to a point overhead. When working on deck soffits, swing falls are controlled by keeping the anchorage connectors behind the worker and by limiting how deck centering (e.g., stringers, runners and plywood membrane) are installed. Whenever possible, consider installing stringers and runners from the floor below by use of “push-up sticks,” scissor lifts or mobile scaffolds.

Number of Users The Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System is designed for up to four (4) users at one time, with a capacity (including clothing, tools, etc.) up to 310 lbs (140.6 kg) per user along the entire system, NOT PER SPAN. Installation/use of the system with the Safewaze 42 in Stanchions allows for a maximum of 2 users.
Full-Body Harnesses Only full-body harnesses may be used with the Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System
Attach the housing connector of the self-retracting device to the cable of the Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System. The opposing end is connected to the Dorsal D-ring of the full-body harness.

NEVER ATTACH AN ADDITIONAL ENERGY-ABSORBING LANYARD OR SELF-RETRACTING LIFELINE TO LENGTHEN THE LIFELINE.
NEVER USE COMBINATIONS OF COMPONENTS OR SUBSYSTEMS THAT MAY AFFECT OR INTERFERE WITH THE SAFE FUNCTION OF ANY OTHER COMPONENT(S) OR SUBSYSTEM(S).

Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRLs) & Dual-Leg SRLs
Only use SRLs that meet the requirements as specified in ANSI Z359.14-2014.
Attach a dual-leg SRL directly to the Dorsal D-ring of the full-body harness. Attach one leg of the dual-leg SRL to the cable using a metal O-ring or approved carabiner of the Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System. Attach the unused leg to the lanyard storage keeper on the full-body harness.
When using the dual-leg SRL to move between aluminum post supports (spans), attach one leg to the next span before disconnecting the previous leg. Connection of both legs while transitioning between spans is acceptable and recommended.

NEVER ATTACH ONE LEG OVER THE CABLE AND CONNECT THE SNAP HOOK BACK TO THAT LEG.
NEVER ATTACH AN UNUSED LEG OF THE DUAL-LEG SRL BACK TO THE HARNESS AT ANY LOCATION OTHER THAN THE LANYARD STORAGE KEEPER.

MAINTENANCE, SERVICE and STORAGE

21

The Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System requires no scheduled maintenance, other than repair or replacement of items found defective during

inspection. The Stoplink Brake must be serviced when subject to an in-service arrested load.

TRAINING
It is the responsibility of all users of this equipment to understand these instructions, and to be trained in the correct installation, use, and maintenance of this equipment. All users must be aware of the consequences of improper installation or use of this equipment.

22
This User Manual is not a substitute for a comprehensive training program. Training must be provided on a periodic basis to ensure proficiency of the users.

Copyright Safewaze 2023 V1

FIELD INSPECTION
All components of the Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System shall be inspected before each use and annually by a “competent person”, as required by the OSHA standards. If inspection reveals any defect, inadequate maintenance, or unsafe condition, remove from service immediately until a “qualified person” can determine the need for authorized repair or disposal.
At least once each day before using the system, each user should complete a brief inspection that consists of the following points (as a minimum):
1. All components and subsystems of the Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System must be inspected. Any equipment that has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall must be removed from service.
2. Any equipment that has a deployed fall indicator must be removed from service. All markings must be legible and attached to the product.
3. Check the Stoplink Brake to ensure that no more than 6 in (152.4 mm) of webbing extends from the housing.
4. Cable must be inspected for kinks, broken strands, corrosion, abrasion, or other signs of wear and damage.
5. All snap hooks and carabiners must be able to self-close and lock. All hardware shall be free of cracks, sharp edges, deformation, corrosion, or any evidence of defect.
6. Inspect all components of the body harness for excessive wear and for damaged or worn buckles and rings before putting it on. Check the fit after you put it on and verify all buckles are properly secured. Tests have shown that with the severe impact incurred during a fall, it is possible for the worker to slip out of a poorly fitting or loosely worn full body harness. It is good practice to use the buddy system to check that the harness straps are correctly positioned on your back.
7. Check that the SRL and full body harness meet all specifications. Test the SRL by giving the line a quick pull. The SRL should lock firmly when pulled with a quick snap. The line should self-retract when released. There should be no knots in the line.
8. Check that aluminum posts are properly seated and secured in sleeves.
9. Ensure the horizontal lifeline is attached to proper anchorages at or above the height of the users Dorsal D-ring.

23
OSHA does not have a specific regulation when it comes to annual lifeline inspections. They only have a general duty clause stating a company should follow manufacturer’s instructions, which may include a yearly inspection requirement. This means that OSHA would not fine companies or individuals for a lack of annual lifeline systems inspections. On the other hand, OSHA does have very strict requirements that all fall protection equipment must be inspected for visible wear or damage prior to each use.
ANSI, however, does provide a detailed requirement for annual lifeline inspections that is found in code Z359.2 ­ “Minimum Requirements For A Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program.” Section 5.5.2.2 states that, “Fall protection and fall rescue equipment shall be inspected on a regular basis not to exceed one year (or more frequently if required by manufacturer’s instructions) by a competent person or competent rescuer, as appropriate, to verify that the equipment is safe for use. The inspection shall be documented.” The following, as outlined by ANSI guideline 5.5.2.3, is a list of items that should be looked for during annual lifeline inspections:
· Absence or illegibility of markings or tags · Absence of any elements affecting the equipment
form, fit and function
· Evidence of defects in, or damage to, hardware
elements, including cracks, sharp edges, deformation, corrosion, chemical attack, excessive heating, alteration or excessive wear
· Alteration, absence of parts or evidence of defects
in, damage to, or improper function of mechanical devices and connectors
· Any other condition that calls to question the
suitability of the equipment for its intended purpose
ANSI also recommends keeping written or electronic records of annual lifeline inspections on file for the service life of the equipment.
