Section 1: Warnings and Advisories

This product is to be used as a part of a personal fall arrest system, and should be used
only with compatible components. Please see Advisory #3 in this section for further
details. Failure to use compatible components can result in a failure of the system to
perform as intended, which may result in serious injury or death.
Throughout the OSHA regulations for safety and health, there are references to
Competent Persons and Qualified Persons. ANSI Z359.0-2007 goes on to further
define the roles and qualifications of these individuals; as well as Authorized Persons,
and their importance in the workplace. These terms are also used in these
instructions. Below is a brief description of the part these individuals play in the
employment of fall protection equipment:
Authorized Person - a person who is exposed to fall hazards during the course of their
work. This individual requires formal training in the use of personal fall protection
equipment and systems.
Competent Person - a trained and experienced person who is designated to supervise,
implement and monitor an employer's managed fall protection program. This
individual is capable of identifying and addressing fall hazards and is authorized to
make decisions and take corrective action in the workplace.
Qualified Person - a person possessing a degree or professional certificate and having
extensive training, knowledge and experience with fall protection and who is capable
of designing and specifying fall protection equipment and systems to address fall
hazards.
Please read these instructions and be sure that you understand them prior to utilizing
this equipment. Also be sure to read the instructions included with other components
which are being utilized in your Personal Fall Arrest System (Harnesses, connectors,
anchorage connectors, etc.). Failure to understand and comply with manufacturer's
instructions may result in serious injury or death. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY
PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE HAVE THEM EXPLAINED TO YOU BY A
COMPETENT PERSON.
