INSTALLATION AND USE
1. Under guidance of a Competent Person, a suitable anchor point must be chosen that meets the
strength requirement, minimizes free fall, and reduces swing fall hazards. Do not work above the
anchorage point.
2. The LE Lanyard can be attached to any anchorage that meets the strength
requirements as defined in the APPLICATIONS section of this manual for Personal Fall Arrest, Restraint,
and Rescue.
3. The LE Lanyard must be inspected prior to installation for any defect including, but not limited to,
deformities, cracks, severe corrosion, excessive paint, welding spatter or slag, broken wires, bird caging,
or any excessive debris or condition that would potentially impede the installation or use of the LE
Lanyard. (See Figure 7 A-D for examples of cable damage)
4. The LE Lanyard is designed for use in Leading Edge Environments. The preferred connection of the
lanyard to a fall arrest anchorage is at D-ring height or above. However, the LE Lanyard is suitable for
foot level tie off if required, for a maximum 12 ft. Free Fall. Tying off below the level of the Dorsal D-ring
on your Full Body Harness or at foot level should always be a last resort, as addtional fall clearance is
required, and there is a greater risk of swing fall injuries.
5. Ensure that the energy absorber end of the lanyard is connected to the Dorsal D-ring of the Full Body
Harness.
6. Avoid working in a position which would allow the lanyard to continuously or repeatedly rub or abrade
against sharp or abrasive edges. Eliminate this type of contact if possible, or protect such edges with
heavy padding or an edge protector.
Precautions pertaining to Leading Edge Lanyards
1. The angle of redirection allowed regarding the lifeline portion of the LE Lanyard shall be at least 90
degrees.
2. The anchor point for the LE Lanyard shall be at the same height or higher than the leading edge over
which a fall may occur (See figure 6). An anchor point situated below the level of a leading edge, could
cause the lifeline portion of the Lanyard to exceed a 90 degree angle over the edge in the event of a fall.

3. The user must be aware of all situations which may limit the work area in relation to the anchor point.
Factors such as swing fall and abrasion of the lanyard at the Leading Edge should be considered during
development of the fall protection plan.
4. User must not work on the far side of an opening opposite his/her anchor point for the LE Lanyard.

INSPECTION
Safewaze LE Lanyards shall be inspected by the user prior to each use and at least
•
annually by a Competent Person. Annual Inspections must be documented. Severity of
conditions during use may neccesitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• LE Lanyards that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the LE Lanyard for deficiencies or damage, including, but
not limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical
exposure, extreme heat exposure, or missing or illegible labels. If any deficiencies or
defects are found, the LE Lanyard must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The LE Lanyard must be inspected at least annually by a Competent Person other
than the user. Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log
included in this manual and on the inspection grid label on the lanyard.
WARRANTY
Safewaze warrants its products are free from defects in materials and construction
under normal use and service. Liability is not accepted for abuse, modification,
improper use, destructive activity and contaminated exposure.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
The LE Lanyard can be cleaned with water and mild soap if necessary. User should
remove all dirt, possible corrosives, and contaminants from the lanyard prior to, and
after each use. Never use any type of corrosive substance to clean the LE Lanyard.
Excess water should be blown out with compressed air. Hardware can be wiped off
with a clean, dry cloth.
When not in use, store the LE Lanyard in a cool dry area where it will not be exposed
to extreme light, extreme heat, excessive moisture, or possibly corrosive chemicals or
materials.
Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a

fall arrest event. Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an
individuals ability to withstand fall arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals
considered minors must not use any Safewaze equipment.
• Lanyards that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed
