9. Check your installation to ensure that the Fixed-Position Beam
Anchor cannot come off of the beam; that it is fitted tightly to the
beam flange and cannot be moved.
10. Ensure your Full Body Harness is properly donned and adjusted
and that your connecting device is securely attached to your
back D-ring. Tie-off to the Fixed-Position Beam Anchor with your
connecting device.
11. Proceed cautiously with your work. Do not run, jump, make
sudden movements or over-reach. This Beam Anchor is in a
fixed position and is immovable – once you reach the extended
length of your connecting device, any sudden movements may
cause you to lose your footing. Move with care and
deliberation at all times while working at heights.
12. Do not allow your connecting device to pass under your arm or
between your legs – severe injury or death may result. Also
avoid sharp edges which may damage your connecting device in
the event of a fall.
13. If the beam to which this anchor is attached is sloped or vertical,
the Beam Anchor must be positioned next to a stop which will
prevent the Beam Anchor from sliding or moving in the event of a
fall. Joints between beam sections must be flush and must have
a maximum gap of ½".
14. If you are tied-off at the foot-level, or in a manner that will allow
more than six feet of free fall, ensure that your connecting device
is rated for extended free falls. Also ensure that the gate of your
carabiner or snap hook which is attached to the beam anchor
does not make direct contact with the edge of the beam flange,
with any part of the Beam Anchor, or any other obstruction.
Such contact could force a roll-out or accidental disengagement.
If in doubt, you may use a FallTech #7214 Choker to extend your
connection. Attach the 7214 Choker to the D-ring on your Beam
Anchor, and then attach your connecting device to the D-ring on
the Choker. This will help to keep your connector gate away
from any potential hazard.
Once the above steps have been taken, the user will have access to
their work area while walking and moving at normal speeds. It is
important not to make sudden or dramatic movements! When using this
device, care must be taken to be aware of the work environment and any
hazards, obstructions or obstacles that may exist. Be careful of any and
all fall hazards and also be aware of slipping and tripping hazards as
well.
