Guardian Fall Protection <br /> 6305 S. 231st St., Kent, WA 98032 phone: (800) 466- <br />6385 fax: (800) 670 <br />-7892 <br /> www.guardianfall.com <br />3 <br />Limitations <br />Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient <br />clearance below the anchorage connector <br />to arrest a fall before the user strikes the <br />ground or an obstruction. When calculating <br />fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’ <br />safety factor, deceleration distance, user <br />height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness <br />stretch, and all other applicable factors. <br />Diagram shown is an example fall <br />clearance calculation ONLY. <br />Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make <br />considerations for eliminating or minimizing <br />all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when <br />the anchor is not directly above the location <br />where a fall occurs. Always work as close to in <br />line with the anchor point as possible. Swing <br />falls significantly increase the likelihood of <br />serious injury or death in the event of a fall. <br />Compatibility: When making connections with <br />CB-18, eliminate all possibility of roll-out. Roll-out <br />occurs when interference between a hook and <br />the attachment point causes the hook gate to <br />unintentionally open and release. All connections <br />must be selected and deemed compatible with <br />CB-18 by a Competent Person. All connector <br />gates must be self-closing and self-locking, and <br />withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs. See the <br />following for examples of compatible/incompatible <br />connections: <br />Connector <br />closed and <br />locked to <br />D-ring. OK. <br />Connector <br />to integral <br />lanyard. <br />NO. <br />Two or more <br />snap hooks or <br />carabiners <br />connected to <br />each other. NO. <br />Two connectors <br />to same <br />D-ring. NO. <br />Connector <br />directly to <br />horizontal <br />lifeline. NO. <br />Connector <br />directly to <br />webbing. <br />NO. <br />Incompatible <br />or irregular <br />application, <br />which may <br />increase risk <br />of roll-out. NO. <br />Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing <br />worker falling directly in-line with anchor point. <br />Always consider potential swing fall and other <br />hazards when calculating fall clearance. <br />*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever <br />possible! If Swing Fall exists, <br />always account for additional <br />fall clearance. <br />1.5’ <br />2’ <br />12’ <br />5’ <br />Anchor Pointat Foot Level <br />12’ Free Fall Lanyard <br />Anchor PointLevel w/Dorsal D-ring <br />6’ Free Fall Lanyard <br />2’
