The BFT anchor point has been designed to be used with a DBI/SALA Self-Retracting Lanyard (SRL) only. The BFT anchor point has been designed to be used as part of a fall protection system consisting of the anchor point, a body harness and DBI/SALA Self-Retracting Lanyard (SRL). An effective fall protection system relies on proper operation of the anchor point, body harness and connecting devices. - Page 13 2. Installation Instructions 7. When your work is complete, climb down the sidewall ladder and roof ladder as normal, avoiding sudden motions that might cause the SRL to lock.
