AppLIcATIoNs
PURPOSE: Vertical Lifelines and Vertical
Lifeline Subsystems are used as part of
a Personal Fall Arrest or Restraint system
(see Figure 1). The lifelines and lifeline
subsystems described in this document
are not designed for use in horizontal
lifeline systems. Applications include:
inspection work, construction, demolition,
maintenance, oil production, confined
space rescue, window washing.
Fall Arrest:
The Lifeline or Lifeline
Subsystem is used as part of a
complete Fall Arrest System, which
typically includes a Lifeline, Rope
Grab, Lanyard, and Full Body
Harness. Maximum permissible free
fall is 6 ft. (1.8 m).
1 PeRSOnAL FALL ARReST SySTeM: An assembly of components and subsystems
used to arrest a person in a free fall.
2 ReSTRAInT SySTeM: An assembly of components and subsystems that limits
travel so the user is not exposed to a fall hazard.
FoRM No: 5903150 REV: A
Restraint:
Subsystem is used as part of a
restraint system. Restraint Systems
Safety
typically include a Full Body Harness
Brand
and a Lanyard to prevent the user

REQUIREMENTS: Consider the following
requirements before using this product:
Capacity:
designed for use by persons with a
combined weight (clothing, tools, etc.)
of 130 - 310 lbs. (59 - 140 kg). No
more than one personal protective
system may be connected at one time.
Anchorage:
point that meets the strength
requirements of your application:
Fall Arrest Anchorage Strength
Non-Certified
Anchorages:
Certified
Anchorages:
NoTe: When more than one Fall Arrest system
is attached to an anchorage, the strength
specified above shall be multiplied by the
number of systems attached to the anchorage.
FRom oshA 1926.500 & 1910.66:
Anchorages used for attachment of personal
fall arrest systems shall be independent of
any anchorage used to support or suspend
platforms and capable of supporting at least
5,000 pounds (22.2 kn) per attached user;
or, be designed, installed, and used as part of
a complete Personal Fall Arrest System which
maintains a safety factor of at least two and is
under the supervision of a qualified person.
Restraint Anchorage Strength
Non-Certified
Anchorages:
Certified
Anchorages:
NoTe: When more than one Restraint system
is attached to an anchorage, the strength
specified above shall be multiplied by the
number of systems attached to the anchorage.
Free Fall:
rigged so that no vertical free fall is
possible. Personal fall arrest systems
used with this equipment must limit
free fall to 6 ft. (1.8 m) per ANSI
7359.1. See the personal fall arrest

Fall Clearance:
Ensure that
adequate clearance exists in your fall
path to prevent striking an object.
The amount of clearance required is
dependent on the type of connecting
subsystem (Rope Grab, Lanyard),
the anchorage location, and the
amount of stretch in the lifeline.
See the subsystem manufacturer's
instructions for more information.
Swing Falls:
Swing falls occur when
the anchorage point is not directly
above the point where a fall occurs
(see Figure 2). The force of striking
an object in a swing fall may cause
serious injury or death. Minimize
swing falls by working as close to
the anchorage point as possible. Do
not permit a swing fall if injury could
occur.
Sharp Edges:
Avoid working where
your lifeline, lifeline subsystem, or
other system components will be
in contact with, or abrade against,
unprotected sharp edges. Do not
loop a lifeline around small diameter
structural members. If working with
this equipment around sharp edges
is unavoidable, provide protection by
using a heavy pad over the exposed
sharp edge.
Hazards:
Use of this equipment in
areas with environmental hazards
may require additional precautions to
prevent injury to the user or damage
to the equipment. Hazards may
include, but are not limited to; heat,
chemicals, corrosive environments,
high voltage power lines, gases,
moving machinery, and sharp edges.
Contact Capital Safety if you have
questions about using this equipment
where environmental hazards exist.
