of an installed accessory. The rating of
a complete fall arrest system can only be
rated to the capabilities of its lowest-rated
! WARNING ! - The user must ensure that the beam to which the #BC-08A is attached is
capable of withstanding all of the loads imparted to it by the device when proof-loaded. There
is a limitless variety of structural steel configurations and addressing each potential scenario is
beyond the scope of this manual. A "qualified person" must approve each attachment point.
! WARNING ! - The user must ensure that all fasteners are properly secured in order to retain
the stated compliance of the entire system.
