compliance with the instructions of the
manufacturer and the previous check must be
recorded on the attached sheet.
•
The frequency of inspection should be increased
in accordance with the regulations, if the
equipment is in heavy usage or if the equipment
is used in harsh environments. Also ensure that
the markings are legible.
The steel anchor should be inspected prior to each use
as per the following guidelines:
a ) Do not use if any part of the device appears to be
damaged.
b ) Do not attempt to service the device or alter it in
any way.
D
WALT
c )
anchors should be used only with the
E
combinations of components, sub-systems
or both which may affect or interfere with
the safe function of one another. Be certain
that connecting devices are compatible and
that other elements of the PFAS are safe and
compatible before use.
d ) Always check for obstructions below the work
area to make sure that the potential fall path is
clear.
e ) Keep the equipment away from anything that
could damage it such as sharp edges, rough or
abrasive surfaces, high temperature surfaces,
heat and welding sources, moving machinery,
electrical hazards, etc.
f ) It is important to keep in mind environmental
hazards when selecting fall protection
equipment.
g ) Do not expose the equipment to chemicals,
highly corrosive or caustic environments, or to
direct sunlight and UV radiation, which may
cause UV degradation.

h ) Such harmful environments require a more
frequent inspection and servicing program of
the fall protection equipment to maintain the
integrity and safety of the equipment. Contact
D

if in doubt.
E
i ) All the synthetic material of fall protection
equipment must be protected from slag, hot
sparks, open flames or other heat sources.
j ) It is recommended that heat resistant materials
are used in such applications. It is important to
allow adequate fall clearance below the work
surface.
k ) Always have a Rescue Plan ready and at hand
when using this equipment.

A Qualified person can make a determination
on compatibility of equipment from different
manufacturers.
•
Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors
(D-rings, hooks, carabiners) must be capable
of supporting at least 5000 lbs. (23 kN). Do not
use equipment that is not compatible. Non-
compatible connectors may unintentionally
disengage. Self-locking snap hooks and
Carabiners are required by CSA, ANSI and OSHA.
Connectors must be compatible in size, shape,
and strength.

that is not compatible.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the users to ensure that they read, understand, and follow all instructions
and are trained in the care and use of this device. Training should be repeated periodically and any time there
is a change of components within the system. Training must be conducted without exposing the trainee to a
fall hazard
WARNING: Do not attempt to disassemble the unit or make repairs to the equipment. Send the equipment back
to the manufacturer, or persons or entities authorized in writing by the manufacturer to make repairs to the
equipment.
