To reduce the risks associated with working with an Energy Absorbing Lanyard which, if
not avoided, could result in serious injury or death:
· Inspect the device before each use, at least annually, and after any fall event.
Inspect in accordance with the User Instructions.
· If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the device from
service and destroy it.
· Any device that has been subject to fall arrest or impact force must be immedia-
tely removed from service.

including, but not limited to, entanglement with other workers, yourself, moving
machinery, or other surrounding objects.

made by different manufacturers are compatible and meet the requirements of
applicable standards, including the ANSI Z359 or other applicable fall protection
codes, standards, or requirements. Always consult a Competent or Qualified
Person before using these systems.

tion of this equipment. Only use compatible connections.
· Use extra precautions when working around moving machinery (e.g. top drive
of oil rigs), electrical hazards, extreme temperatures, chemical hazards, explosi-
ve or toxic gases, sharp edges, or below overhead materials that could fall onto
you or the fall protection equipment.
