Product Specific Applications

!
WARNING
Personal Fall Arrest: Edge Angel SRLs may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest
System (PFAS) for use in Fall Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the
directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 2'. SRL may be
positioned a maximum 2' above anchor point. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: Edge Angel SRL may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient
clearance below the anchorage connector
to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When calculating
fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 3'
safety factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other
applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always work as close to in
line with the anchor point as possible. Swing
falls significantly increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death in the event of a fall.
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
