Safety and Precautionary Measures
Do not tie the anchorage sling in a knot.
Avoid using anchor slings on an anchorage structure which has excessively sharp edges or an
extremely small circumference.
The angle between the two loop ends below the anchorage structure must not exceed 45°.
Do not connect a snap hook directly into the end loops of the anchorage sling. When not used in
the choker configuration, an approved connector, such as a carabiner or shackle, must be used
to link the two loop ends together.
DO NOT exceed the allowable free fall distance or exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as spec-
ified by governing standards or subsystem components.
The anchorage to which the Suretyman Anchorage Sling is attached must be rated in the direction
of intended use. See sections 2.1 "Anchorages and Anchorage Connectors" and 3 "Use" for
details on anchorage strength and loading details.
When installing or removing the Suretyman Anchorage Sling, 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.
Prevent swing falls and impact with objects in or adjacent to the fall path. Always remove obstruc-
tions below the work area to ensure a clear fall path. Keep work area free from debris, obstruc-
tions, trip hazards, spills or other hazard which could impair the safe operation of the fall protection
system. DO NOT use the MSA Suretyman Anchorage Sling unless a qualified person has
inspected the workplace and determined that identified hazards can neither be eliminated nor
exposures to them prevented.
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.
DO NOT rely on feel or sound to verify proper snaphook or carabiner engagement. Ensure that
gate and keeper are closed before use.
If the MSA Suretyman Anchorage Sling is damaged or is subjected to fall arrest forces or impact
forces, it must be immediately removed from service and marked as "UNUSABLE" until it has
been destroyed.
US
DO NOT leave the MSA Suretyman Anchorage Sling installed in environments which could cause
damage or deterioration to the product. Refer to sections 4 "Care, Maintenance and Storage" and
5 "Inspection" for care and inspection details. Do not leave unattended loads on the MSA
Suretyman Anchorage Sling.
DO NOT use where lanyard or shock absorber may be exposed to sharp or abrasive edges or
sheared, expanded metal, or frame cut steel. Sharp edges may cut a lanyard or shock absorber
during a fall. Cover all sharp or abrasive edges with padding or sheathing before working above
edge.
