injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
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,
harness stretch, 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.

applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
