13.0 MAKING CONNECTIONS
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/or twist lock. Ensure all connections are
compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and
locked.
Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each product's user instructions.
See Figure 4 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
•
To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
•
In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie-back hooks). NOTE: Large snap hooks must not
be connected to objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with
ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lbs. (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
14.0 SPECIFIC ANCHOR APPLICATIONS
Personal Fall Arrest: Safewaze Anchors are designed as an anchor point to support a maximum of 1
Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) when utilized for fall protection applications. The structure to which
the anchor is attached must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 6'.
Restraint: Safewaze Anchors are authorized for use in Restraint applications. The structure to which the
anchor is attached must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000
lbs NO free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces with slopes up to
4 / 12 (vertical / horizontal). For Restraint applications, the allowable attachment points to harness are
Dorsal D-ring, Chest D-ring, Side D-rings, and Shoulder D-rings.
Work Positioning: Safewaze Anchors are authorized for use in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning allows a worker to be supported during suspension while freeing both hands to conduct work
operations. The structure to which the Anchor is attached must withstand loads applied in the directions
permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2'. For positioning
applications, the allowable attachment points to harness are the Side D-rings.
Rescue/Confined Space: Safewaze Anchors are authorized for use in Rescue/Confined Space
applications. Rescue systems are utilized to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after
exposure to a fall. Composition of rescue systems can vary based upon the type of rescue involved.
The structure to which the Anchor is attached must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by
the system of at least 3,000 lbs. NO free fall is permitted. For rescue applications, the allowable
attachment points to harness are Dorsal D-ring, Chest D-ring and
Shoulder D-rings.
All above referenced applications have a worker weight capacity range of:
ANSI 310 lbs. / OSHA Up to 420 lbs. (including all clothing, tools, and equipment).
