2.0 APPLICATIONS
2.1 The X-CALIBUR is designed to be used as an anchorage as part of a complete mobile fall protection system.
The X-CALIBUR may be used where worker mobility and fall protection are required. See WWW.OSHA.GOV for
all regulations and standards.
2.2 The X-CALIBUR allows for up to one worker to be tied-off for fall arrest to the Fall Arrest Attachment Point.
See the following definitions (Section 3.0):
3.0 DEFINITIONS:
3.1 Fall Restraint System – A fall restraint system (FRS) prevents the user from falling. The system is comprised of
a body harness along with an anchorage, connectors and other necessary equipment. The components typically
include a lanyard and also may include a lifeline and other devices. The X-CALIBUR shall not be used as an
anchorage in a fall restraint system.
3.2 Personal Fall Arrest System – A personal fall arrest system (PFAS) arrests a fall after a fall has begun. The
system is comprised of an anchorage, connectors, and a body harness and may include a deceleration lifeline, or
suitable combinations. Note that a PFAS does NOT prevent a fall from occurring. The X-CALIBUR can be used
as an anchorage in a PFAS for up to one worker. A Personal Fall Arrest System must meet the following OSHA
requirements:
Limit maximum arresting force on an employee to 1,800 pounds when used with a body harness;
Be rigged so that an employee can neither free-fall more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) nor contact any lower level;
Bring an employee to a complete stop and limit maximum deceleration distance an employee travels to 3.5
feet (1.07 meters); and
Have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of an employee free-falling a distance
of 6 feet (1.8 meters) or the free-fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less.
3.3 Anchorage — An anchorage is a secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards, or deceleration devices.
The X-CALIBUR can be used as an anchorage for fall arrest.
