MAKING CONNECTIONS: All connections must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. See Figure 4 for examples
of inappropriate connections. Do not attach connectors:
A.
To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
B.
In a manner that would result in a load on the gate. Large-throat snap hooks should not be connected to D-Rings or
other connecting elements, unless the snap hook has a gate strength of 16 kN (3,600 lbf) or greater.
C.
In a false engagement, where size or shape of the connector or connecting element is not compatible and, without
visual confirmation, would seem to be fully engaged.
D.
To each other.
E.
Directly to harness webbing, lanyard leg material, or tie-back material unless such a connection is explicitly allowed
for by the manufacturer instructions.
F.
To any object whose size or shape does not allow the connector to fully close and lock, or that could cause connector
roll-out.
G.
In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.

LANYARD PARKING ATTACHMENT: When not in use, the free end of a lanyard or harness-mounted Self-Retracting
Device (SRD) must be secured to the lanyard parking attachment on the user's harness (A) or be held securely within the
user's hand (B). See Figure 5 for reference.
The free end of a connecting subsystem must always be properly secured. Never allow free ends to hang freely (C) and
never secure free ends to an unused attachment element on the user's harness (D). Both of these situations could create
a trip hazard or cause the user to become entangled.
;
Never use lanyard parking attachments as attachment elements for Fall Protection applications.
