Use

 The anchorage to which the Workman FP Stryder is attached must be rated in the direction of
intended use. See section 2.5.3 "Anchorages" for details on anchorage strength and loading
details.
 When installing or removing the Workman FP Stryder, limit exposure to fall hazards. A separate
independent fall arrest system may be required.

Ensure that fall clearance is sufficient to meet governing standards or subsystem component
requirements.
 Work directly under the anchorage/anchorage connector at all times. A full body harness is the
only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
 MSA Fall Protection products may not be used while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Planning the Use of Systems

3.1.1
DO NOT exceed the allowable free fall distance or exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as specified
by governing standards or subsystem components.
The capacity of the Workman FP Stryder must be greater or equal the sub-system components.
1) Free fall distance. See user instructions and label of compatible deceleration device (i.e. SRL,
lanyard, etc.) for allowable free fall distance.
2) Total fall distance. The sum of the free fall distance and deceleration distance plus a 3 ft (0.92 m)
safety margin.
3) Deceleration distance. Must not exceed 3.5 ft (1.1m).
3.1.2
US
Prevent swing falls and impact with objects in or adjacent to the fall path.
Always remove obstructions below the work area to ensure a clear fall path. Keep work area free from
debris, obstructions, trip hazards, spills or other hazard which could impair the safe operation of the fall
protection system. DO NOT use the Workman FP Stryder unless a qualified person has inspected the
workplace and determined that identified hazards can neither be eliminated nor exposures to them
prevented.
Swing fall hazards must be minimized by anchoring directly above the user's work space. The force of
striking an object in a pendular motion can cause serious injury. Always minimize swing falls by working
as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
3.1.3
The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it. The plan must take into
account the equipment and specific training necessary to affect prompt rescue under all foreseeable
conditions. If the rescue be from a confined space, the provisions of OSHA regulation 1910.146 and
ANSI Z117.1 must be taken into account. It is recommended to provide means for user evacuation
without assistance of others. This will usually reduce the time to get to a safe place and reduce or
prevent the risk to rescuers.
