Product Specific Applications - Guardian G-CAS Instruction Manual

Product Specific Applications

May be used to support a MAXIMUM 1
direct Personal Fall Arrest System
(PFAS) for use in Fall Arrest applications
only when used in combination with an energy
absorbing device rated to reduce fall arrest
forces to no greater than 6kN. Maximum free fall
is 1.8m, or up to 3.6m if used in combination with
equipment explicitly certified for such use. Cross
Arm Strap may be loaded in any direction, and is
permitted for use as a component in a horizontal
lifeline system for use with up to a MAXIMUM of
two users.
May be used in Restraint applications as
an anchorage for the attachment of
compatible equipment used during
Restraint tasks. Restraint systems prevent a
worker from reaching the leading edge of a fall
hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. No free fall is permitted.
May be used in Work Positioning
applications as an anchorage for the
attachment of compatible equipment
used during Work Positioning tasks. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be
supported while in suspension and work freely
with both hands. No free fall is permitted.
May be used in Rescue/Confined Space
applications as an anchorage for the
attachment of compatible equipment
used during rescue/confined space tasks. 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. No free
fall is permitted.
For All Product Applications
User weight range (including all clothing,

tools, and equipment) is 59-140kg.
Maximum deflection: 0m.

The job site Competent Person (CP) must ensure
that there are sufficiently strong and accessible
anchorage points in the working environment.
Anchorages should be overhead when possible
and the area beneath and around them should
be clear of obstruction and sharp edges. Always
attach to an anchorage that is as close to the
point of work and as high above head as possible
without restricting free movement. The user
should be aware at all times of which attachment
points to use; if not immediate obvious they must
seek confirmation from the CP. Always ensure
that the means of attachment to the anchorage is
secure before beginning work.
Competent Person Definition
The job site safety supervisor, referred to in this manual as
the Competent Person (CP), must be a highly trained and
experienced person who is assigned by the employer to
be responsible for all elements of the fall safety program;
this includes, but is not limited to, program regulation,
management, and application. The CP must be proficient in
identifying existing and predictable fall hazards, and must
have the authority to stop work to eliminate hazards or
otherwise promote safe and compliant work
