2.5 INSPECTION AND USE OF FALL ARREST SYSTEM
The external fall arrest system is designed to provide a lanyard attach
point while allowing the operator to access areas
outside the plat-
form. Exit/Enter the platform through the gate area only. The system
is designed for use by one person.
Personnel must use fall protection at all times. A full body harness
and shock absorbing lanyard, not to exceed 6 feet (1.8 m) in
length, is required when using the external fall arrest system.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY MACHINE FUNCTIONS WHILE OUTSIDE OF PLATFORM. BE
CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING/EXITING THE PLATFORM AT ELEVATION.
THE EXTERNAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM REQUIRES AN ANNUAL INSPECTION AND CERTI-
FICATION. THE ANNUAL INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY A
COMPETENT PERSON.

Prior to accessing areas outside of the fall arrest platform, the
user(s) must complete an appropriate job plan/risk assessment
for the work to be accomplished and the environment at hand. It
is the user’s responsibility to completely and adequately com-
plete the job plan/risk assessment - special consideration must
be given to the arresting distance of the deployed shock
absorbing lanyard compared to the proximity of lower levels, or
the ground, in the event of a fall.
