This manual must be read and understood in its entirety and used as part of an employee training program as required by OSHA or any applicable state agency. This manual and any other instructional material must be available to the user of the equipment. The user must understand how to safely and effectively use these anchors, and all fall protection equipment used in conjunction with the anchors.

PURPOSE

This product is part of a personal fall arrest, fall restraint, work positioning, or rescue system.
Safewaze Fall Protection equipment must be installed and used only by individuals trained in its proper application.
IMPORTANT: The Safewaze Sliding Beam Anchors are designed for connection of Fall Protection Equipment ONLY! Do not connect lifting equipment or engage in material lifting operations with this Anchorage Connector!

APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS

When used according to instructions, Safewaze Anchors meet all applicable ANSI Z359.18 standards and OSHA regulations for fall protection. Safewaze anchorage connectors have been tested in compliance with ANSI/ASSE Z359.7.
It should be cautioned that ANSI compliance and testing covers only the hardware and does not extend to the anchorage and substrate to which the anchorage connector is attached. Applicable standards and regulations depend on the type of work being done, and may include state-specific regulations. Refer to local, state, and federal (OSHA) requirements for additional information concerning the governing of occupational safety regarding Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS).

WORKER CLASSIFICATIONS

Understand the definitions of those who work in proximity of or may be exposed to fall hazards.
Qualified Person: “Qualified Person” means one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated his ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project.
Competent Person: “Competent Person” means one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
Authorized Person: “Authorized Person” means a person approved or assigned by the employer to perform a specific type of duty or duties or to be at a specific location or locations at the job site.
It is the responsibility of a Qualified or Competent person to supervise the job site and ensure safety regulations are complied with.

FALL CLEARANCE

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)
It is important to make sure that adequate clearance is available. Free Fall, Maximum Arrest Distance, Height of Worker, and current clearance above the next fall hazard must all be considered in the Fall Clearance calculation.

DETERMINE REQUIRED FALL CLEARANCE

Determining fall clearance is critical in understanding the correct connecting device to use. The lower the clearance height, the less options available to connect to the anchor point with. To Determine Fall Clearance several factors must be considered:
Length of Anchorage connector (LA)
Length of Connecting device (LC)
Maximum Arrest Distance of connecting device (MAD)
Height of Worker (HW)
Safety Factor (SF) – (Includes harness stretch, typically 2’)
Distance from Anchor Point to next closest obstruction (DAP)
Using the above information Fall Clearance (FC) can be determined with the following formula
FC (from anchor point)=LA+LC+MAD+HW+SF
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- DETERMINE REQUIRED FALL CLEARANCE
For all applications: worker weight capacity range
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-310 lbs. per ANSI Z359.18-2017 Weight capacity per OSHA is up to 420 lbs.
*Diagram shown is an example fall clearance calculation ONLY. 5.2 SWING FALLS**
An anchorage point located in a position that is not directly over the user’s fall location results in a swing fall (See Figure 2). Swing falls may result in the user striking an object with enough force to cause serious injury. Greater clearance is needed to ensure safety during a swing fall as vertical fall distance will be greater than a fall originating directly below the anchorage point.

LIMITATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

When installing or using this equipment always refer to the following requirements and limitations.
– A competent person shall train users on this equipment in accordance with OSHA and ANSI.
– Never exceed a free fall distance of 6 ft. A free fall of more than 6 ft could cause excessive arrest forces that could result in serious injury or death.
– Safewaze anchors have a maximum capacity of:
ANSI 310 lbs (140.6 kg) including tools, clothing, etc…, OSHA up to 420 lbs. (190.51 kg) including tools, clothing, etc…
– Anchorages for attachment of Personal Fall Arrest System shall support a minimum of 5,000 lbs or be designed with a safety factor of two by a Qualified Person.
– All Safewaze full body harnesses must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service if subjected to fall arrest forces.
– Safewaze full body harnesses shall be inspected by the end user prior to each usage and by a Competent Person other than the user at least annually. These annual inspections shall be documented.

CAPACITY

Safewaze Sliding Beam Anchors are designed for the following weight capacities: (Maximum capacities include clothing, tools, and equipment)
ANSI Z359: 130-310 lbs max
OSHA: Up to 420 lbs max

ANCHORAGE

It must be ensured the anchorage(s) to which the Safewaze anchorage connector is connected to:

• i) can withstand 5,000 pounds without failure, except that lower strengths are acceptable when permitted by applicable legislation
• ii) are certified by a professional engineer as having the required strength for fall arrest or travel restraint, as applicable; or
• iii) Safewaze may provide specifications of allowable materials including the minimum shapes, sizes, and geometry of structural elements to which the anchorage connector may be fastened. A qualified person shall approve these specifications

Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall have a strength capable of sustaining static loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least:

1. 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) for non-certified anchorages, or
2. Two times the maximum arresting force for certified anchorages.

When more than one fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths set forth in (1) and (2) above shall be multiplied by the number of systems attached to the anchorage.
From OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66
Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest systems shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms, and capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) per user attached, or be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest systems which maintains a safety factor of at least two, and is under the supervision of a qualified person.

INSPECTION FREQUENCY

Either the Authorized Person (User), or the Rescuer must inspect this equipment before each use. Annual inspections must be completed by a Competent Person other than the user. Results must be documented.

RESCUE PLAN

When using this equipment, employers must create a rescue plan, and provide the means to implement the plan.
This plan must be communicated to equipment users, authorized persons, and rescuers. Rescue operations require specialized equipment beyond the scope of this manual. See ANSI Z359.4-2013 for specific rescue information.

COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS

Unless otherwise noted, Safewaze equipment is designed for use with Safewaze approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect safety and reliability of the complete system.
IMPORTANT: Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated components and subsystems in your personal fall arrest system.

COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS

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).
Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (See Figure 3).
Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components (See Figure 4). 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.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 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). 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 Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lbs. (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
