Correct Use

The Suretyman Anchorage Sling functions as an anchorage connector for fall arrest, travel restraint,
or rescue applications. The sling is designed to be wrapped around an anchorage structure of suitable
size, shape, and strength to support the intended load.
An anchorage sling is used as a link between the anchorage structure and a connector, such as a
locking carabiner on a fall arrest lanyard. The Suretyman Anchorage Sling provides an anchorage
connector for a wide variety of fall protection needs. Applications include most fall arrest systems,
restraint systems, and rescue systems. Suretyman Anchorage Slings are manufactured of abrasion
resistant nylon webbing and are available in several different lengths to suit various anchorage struc-
tures. The Suretyman Anchorage Sling is intended for use by one person.
