Use Only
■ Harness must be worn so that the fall-arrest D-ring
is centered in back.
■ Attach fall-arrest connecting devices that meet
OSHA standards only to the rear fall-arrest D-ring.
■ Attach positioning connecting devices that
meet OSHA standards only to side D-rings. Side
D-rings are NOT for fall arrest.
■ Attach retrieval connecting devices that meet
OSHA standards to shoulder D-rings. Shoulder
D-rings are NOT for fall arrest.

■ Fall-arrest anchorage must support a mini-
mum of 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per attached worker
and be independent of worker support.
■ Positioning and retrieval anchorages must
support at least twice the potential impact load
of an employee’s fall or 3,000 lbs. (13.3kN),
whichever is greater.
■ Rig to avoid contact with structures below in the
event of a fall. The free-fall distance must not exceed 6
ft. (1.8m). If using a deceleration unit, add 3-1/2 ft.
(1m) to the free-fall distance to allow for unit extension.

■ For fall-arrest, always keep anchorage at or
above shoulder height to minimize fall distance.
■ OSHA requires that impact force in a fall NOT
exceed an 1,800 lb. (8kN) limit with a harness.
At a given weight, the longer the free fall, the
greater the resulting impact force. Therefore,
minimize slack in fall-arrest connecting device or use
deceleration unit to stay under 1,800 lbs. (8kN).
