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. Guardian Fall Protection Introduction www.guardianfall.com phone: (800) 466-6385 fax: (800) 670-7892 6305 S. 231st St., Kent, WA 98032 Guardian Fall Protection Product Specific Applications ! WARNING Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point. Personal Fall Arrest: D-Ring 2 Hole Anchor may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in Fall Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if used in combination with equipment explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal. Restraint: D-Ring 2 Hole Anchor may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder. Work Positioning: D-Ring 2 Hole Anchor may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported and work freely with both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side, Shoulder. Rescue/Confined Space: D-Ring 2 Hole Anchor may be used in Rescue/Confined Space applications. Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after exposed to a fall. There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of rescue. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder. For all applications: worker weight capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs. 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 3’ safety factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other applicable factors. Diagram shown is an example fall clearance calculation ONLY. 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. FALL CLEARANCE CALCULATION Lanyard length (6’ total) Deceleration Required distance (4’ total) distance from anchorage (19’ total) Height of harness dorsal D-ring from worker’s feet (6’ total) Safety factor (3’ total) 2 Connector to integral lanyard.

Regulations included herein are not all-inclusive, are for reference only, and are not intended to replace a Competent Person’s judgment or knowledge of federal or state standards. Do not alter equipment. Do not misuse equipment. Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, flame, corrosive chemicals, electrical shock, sharp objects, machinery, abrasive substances, weather conditions, and uneven surfaces, must be assessed by a Competent Person before fall protection equipment is selected. The analysis of the workplace must anticipate where workers will be performing their duties, the routes they will take to reach their work, and the potential and existing fall hazards they may be exposed to. Fall protection equipment must be chosen by a Competent Person. Selections must account for all potential hazardous workplace conditions. All fall protection equipment should be purchased new and in an unused condition. Fall protection systems must be selected and installed under the supervision of a Competent Person, and used in a compliant manner. Fall protection systems must be designed in a manner compliant with all federal, state, and safety regulations. Forces applied to anchors must be calculated by a Competent Person. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the maximum allowable free fall distance for lanyards must not exceed 6’. No free fall allowed for non-LE SRLs. Class A SRLs must arrest falls within 24”; Class B SRLs must arrest falls within 54”. Harnesses and connectors selected must be compliant with manufacturer’s instructions, and must be of compatible size and configuration. Snap hooks, carabiners, and other connectors must be selected and applied in a compatible fashion. All risk of disengagement must be eliminated. All snap hooks and carabiners must be self-locking and self-closing, and must never be connected to each other. A pre-planned rescue procedure in the case of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be project-specific. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or provide an alternative means for their prompt rescue. Store rescue equipment in an easily accessible and clearly marked area. Training of Authorized Persons to correctly erect, disassemble, inspect, maintain, store, and use equipment must be provided by a Competent Person. Training must include the ability to recognize fall hazards, minimize the likelihood of fall hazards, and the correct use of personal fall arrest systems. NEVER use fall protection equipment of any kind to hang, lift, support, or hoist tools or equipment, unless explicitly certified for such use. Equipment subjected to forces of fall arrest must immediately be removed from use. Age, fitness, and health conditions can seriously affect the worker should a fall occur. Consult a doctor if there is any reason to doubt a user’s ability to withstand and safely absorb fall arrest forces or perform set-up of equipment. Pregnant women and minors must not use this equipment. Physical harm may still occur even if fall safety equipment functions correctly. Sustained post-fall suspension may result in serious injury or death. Use trauma relief straps to reduce the effects of suspension trauma. 6 www.guardianfall.com Labels phone: (800) 466-6385 fax: (800) 670-7892 Avoid contact with thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards / Evite el contacto con peligros de tipo térmico, eléctrico, químico. 5,000 lbs.
