Never use fall protection equipment for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Environmental hazards should be considered when selecting fall protection equipment. Do not expose the equipment to any hazard which it is not designed to withstand. Consult FRONTLINE in cases of doubt.
1.Limitations for Use This equipment is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to +130ºF (-40°C to +54°C). Do not expose this equipment to chemicals or harsh solutions that may have a harmful effect. Contact FRONTLINE with any questions.
3.Connection Compatibility Limitations All equipment must be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snap hooks from being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: 1. It must be a locking type snap hook. 2. It must be “designed for” making such a connection. a.

Using an extended free fall (12 foot) Shock Absorbing Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of approximately 20 feet (6.1 meters) when anchored at foot level and measured from the anchorage point of lanyard to the nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance combines the sum of the length of the lanyard, free fall distance, the maximum elongation of the lanyard (5 feet or 1.5 meters), the average distance between the worker’s dorsal D-ring, (5 feet or 1.5 meters), and the safety factor (3 feet or 0.9 meters).
5.Donning Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. No load indicators shall be deployed. Note: Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must be immediately removed from service. Fitting an Full Body Harness Follow step from 1 to 7 for wearing harness. Step 1: Hold the harness by the dorsal D-ring and shake to allow any tangled straps to fall into place.
7.Inspection Frequency Full Body Harnesses must be inspected prior to each use and every 6 months by a “Competent Person” other than the user. To Inspect Webbing Bend a portion of the webbing 6-8 inches into an upside-down ‘U’ shape. Continue along all webbing inspecting for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, discoloration, burns, holes, mold, pulled or broken stitches, or other signs of wear and damage.
Where user can find the labels. 10.Annex A Annex A – Normative Note: This information from the ANSI Z359.11 standard is required to be included in the instruction manual for the end user: ANSI/ASSE Z359 Requirements for Proper Use and Maintenance of Full Body Harnesses (note: these are general requirements and information provided by ANSI/ASSE Z359, the manufacturer of this equipment may impose more stringent restrictions on the use of the products they manufacture, see the manufacturer’s instructions.) 1.

4. Full Body Harnesses which meet ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 are intended to be used with other components of a Personal fall Arrest system that limit maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kn) or less. 5. Suspension intolerance, also called suspension trauma or orthostatic intolerance, is a serious condition that can be controlled with good harness design, prompt rescue and post fall suspension relief devices.

for fall arrest, the competent person evaluating the application should take measures to ensure that a fall can only occur feet frst. This may include limiting the allowable free fall distance. 13. Shoulder – the shoulder attachment elements shall be used as a pair, and are an acceptable attachment for rescue and entry/retrieval.

Prohibit the use of snap hooks to engage to objects unless the following requirements are met: It must be a locking type snap hook.
3. Performance The performance of equipment in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z359.18-2017. Model/Reference Features Min. Breaking Strength Material of Construction Standard Regulation RO01 Reusable 5000 lbs / 22.2 kN Plate Steel ANSI Z359.18-2017 When installed as an anchor point on a flat surface or on one side of a peaked roof, the connecting fall arrest subsystem must not extend over the peak of the roof to the other side.
5. Installation Roof Ridge No more than 8’ of spacing between roof anchors installed on Roof Ridges Hip Face At least one roof anchor on each Hip Face Roof Edge No less than 6’ from an exposed Roof Edge When multiple roof anchors are installed, the strength (static load) above must be met at each roof anchor’s installation point independently.
6. Training Employers are responsible for providing training to any employee who may be exposed to fall hazards in order to enable the employee to recognize and reduce fall hazards. Training must be conducted by a Competent or Qualified Person. Trainer and trainees must not be exposed to fall hazards during the training course.
