of device.
 Before use, all users must be properly trained in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and
1926.503 or applicable local standards in the safe use of the fall arrest system and its components.
 Before use, thoroughly inspect the beam anchor as indicated in Section 8.
 Only use the HG-1540CBA beam anchor with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems.
 In the absence of certification, the anchorage must be capable of supporting a static load, applied in the directions
permitted by the system, of at least 5,000-lbf (22kN).
 The user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the maximum dynamic forces exerted on the user during the
arrest of a fall to a maximum of 8 kN (1800-lbf).
 A competent engineer or other qualified person must approve that the use of HG-1540CBA beam anchor is
compatible with all structural and operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system that
it will relate to.
 Prior to each use, the HG-1540CBA must be inspected for wear, damage, and other deterioration. The beam anchor
must immediately be removed from service (in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502) if it does
not pass inspection.
 Before use, ensure that the complete fall protection system (including components, fall clearance, and swing fall)
are planned and established correctly.
 Position the beam anchor in such a way to minimize the potential for falls, and the fall distance during use.
 Before use, establish a rescue plan that provides either: prompt rescue of users in the event of a fall, or assures
users can rescue themselves. Also confirm that the means to implement said rescue plan are at hand and easily
accessible.
 After a fall, the anchorage connector must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.
