2.4 D-Ring Connector
The D-ring connector connects the D-ring to the crossbar, and provides an integral load indicator.
2.5 Compatibility of System Parts
2.5.1 Compatibility of Components and Subsystems
Workman FP Stryder are designed to be used with other MSA Approved products. Use of the
Workman FP Stryder with products made by others that are not approved in writing by MSA may
adversely affect the functional compatibility between system parts and the safety and reliability of the
complete system.
2.5.2 Compatibility of Connectors
Connectors, such as D-rings, snaphooks, and carabiners must be rated at 5000 Ibf (22.2kN) minimum
capacity. MSA connectors meet this requirement. Connecting hardware must be compatible in size,
shape and strength. Non-compatible connectors may accidentally disengage (“roll out”). Always verify
that the connecting D-ring on the Workman FP Stryder is compatible with the snaphook, or carabiner
of the lanyard subsystem.
2.5.3 Anchorages
The acceptable anchorage for the Workman FP Stryder is a horizontal I-beam. The I-beam must be
configured so that the Workman FP Stryder cannot come off the end of the beam Anchorages for
personal fall arrest systems must either: (a) have a strength capable of supporting and withstanding at
least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) in the directions permitted by the system without failure, or (b), must be
certified by a professional engineer as having the required strength for fall arrest or travel restraint, as
applicable. See ANSI Z359.18 for definition of certification. See ANSI Z359.187 for definition of certificate. When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the anchorage
strengths set forth in (a) and (b) must be multiplied by the number of systems attached to the
anchorage. This requirement is consistent with OSHA requirements under CFR 1910, subpart F,
Section 1910.66, Appendix C. Do not proceed with installation and user of the anchorage connector if
an assessment of strength cannot be made.

WARNING!
The anchorage to which the Workman FP Stryder is attached must be rated in the direction of
intended use. See section 2.5.3 "Anchorages" for details on anchorage strength and loading
details.
When installing or removing the Workman FP Stryder, limit exposure to fall hazards. A separate
independent fall arrest system may be required.
Ensure that fall clearance is sufficient to meet governing standards or subsystem component
requirements.
Work directly under the anchorage/anchorage connector at all times. A full body harness is the
only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
MSA Fall Protection products may not be used while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
3.1 Planning the Use of Systems
3.1.1 Free Fall Distance, Total Fall Distance and System Elongation
WARNING!
DO NOT exceed the allowable free fall distance or exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as specified
by governing standards or subsystem components.
The capacity of the Workman FP Stryder must be greater or equal the sub-system components.
US
1) Free fall distance. See user instructions and label of compatible deceleration device (i.e. SRL,
lanyard, etc.) for allowable free fall distance.
2) Total fall distance. The sum of the free fall distance and deceleration distance plus a 3 ft (0.92 m)
safety margin.
3) Deceleration distance. Must not exceed 3.5 ft (1.1m).
3.1.2 Pendulum (Swing) Falls
WARNING!
Prevent swing falls and impact with objects in or adjacent to the fall path.
Always remove obstructions below the work area to ensure a clear fall path. Keep work area free from
debris, obstructions, trip hazards, spills or other hazard which could impair the safe operation of the fall
protection system. DO NOT use the Workman FP Stryder unless a qualified person has inspected the
workplace and determined that identified hazards can neither be eliminated nor exposures to them
prevented.
Swing fall hazards must be minimized by anchoring directly above the user’s work space. The force of
striking an object in a pendular motion can cause serious injury. Always minimize swing falls by working
as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
3.1.3 Rescue and Evacuation
The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it. The plan must take into
account the equipment and specific training necessary to affect prompt rescue under all foreseeable
conditions. If the rescue be from a confined space, the provisions of OSHA regulation 1910.146 and
ANSI Z117.1 must be taken into account. It is recommended to provide means for user evacuation
without assistance of others. This will usually reduce the time to get to a safe place and reduce or
prevent the risk to rescuers.

WORKMAN FP STRYDER
3.2 Inspection Before Each Use
Inspect the Workman FP Stryder to verify it is in serviceable condition. Examine entire device for signs
of cracking or deformation. See Section 10 for inspection details. Do not use a Workman FP Stryder if
inspection of it reveals an unsafe condition.
3.3 Making Proper Connections
WARNING!
Do not rely on feel or sound to verify proper snaphook or carabiner engagement. Ensure that gate and
keeper are closed before use.
When connecting the D-ring of the Workman FP Stryder to a lanyard subsystem, be certain accidental
disengagement (“rollout”) cannot occur. Rollout is possible when interference between a snaphook and
the mating connector causes the snaphook’s gate or keeper to accidentally open and release. Rollout
occurs when a snaphook is snapped into an under sized ring such as an eye bolt or other non-compatibly shaped connector. Only self closing, self locking snaphooks and carabiners should be used to
reduce the possibility of rollout when making connections. Do not use snaphooks or connectors that
will not completely close over the attachment object. Do not make knots in a lanyard. Do not hook a
lanyard back onto itself. Snaphooks and carabiners must not be connected to each other. Do not attach
two snaphooks into one D-ring. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with each
system component.
3.4 Moving Around the Work Area
The Workman FP Stryder is designed to move along the flange of the I-beam anchorage, following the
user movements. Move around carefully to prevent loss of balance in the event the Workman FP
Stryder binds or contacts an obstacle in the path of movement.
3.5 Connecting the Workman FP Stryder
The Workman FP Stryder may be used in above or below beam applications.
(1) To use the Workman FP Stryder,
depress the buttons to unlock the
jaws and slide the jaws far enough
apart to fit over the flange of the Ibeam anchorage.
(2) Push the jaws together to capture
the flange of the
I-beam. Release the buttons to lock
the jaw to the crossbar. Fine adjust
the jaws to fit, by alternating locking
the jaws in the differently placed slot
in the crossbar.
US

(3) The maximum total clearance
A
B
between the jaws and the flange is
0.5 inch (12.7 mm).
Maximum total clearance = A+B
Maximum total clearance <0.5 inch
(12.7 mm)
(4) Verify the jaws are locked into the
crossbar.
(5) The user can then connect the
snaphook or carabiner of their
lanyard subsystem to the D-ring of
the Workman FP Stryder.
