SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Compatible Connectors: In order to use Frontline Fall Protection Anchors, connecting
devices must including a compatible connector.
Compatible connectors must be approved snaphooks or carabiner which meet OSHA
and ANSI standards to be compatible with the member to which they are connected
to prevent unintentional disengagement. Snaphooks or carabiners shall be of locking
type designed and used to prevent disengagement of the snaphook by the contact of
the snaphook keeper by the connected member.
Structural Requirement: It is the requirement of the installer and user of the equipment
that the substrate where the anchor is being installed can withstand a minimum
breaking strength or 5,000 lbs per person or as part of a complete personal fall arrest
system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of
a qualified person.
General Disclaimer: Frontline has tested their product to comply with OSHA and/or ANSI
under a controlled environment and with certain substrates. Frontline cannot and
does not guarantee the same performance for different substrates other than the ones
mentioned in these user manuals. Frontline anchors will meet or exceed OSHA and/or
ANSI requirements, but it’s ultimately up the end user/installer/owner of the product
to ensure that their specific substrate will resist and withstand the required loads as
stated by OSHA and/or ANSI or other governing safety entities. Please contact ino@
frontlinefall.com if you have any questions regarding this subject matter.
Making connections: When making the anchor connecting device connection, ensure
that the connecting equipment is compatible and meets or exceeds OSHA and ANSI
standards. Once connected, visually inspect the connection and perform a pull test to
ensure that the equipment is locked and fully functioning. If equipment is not working
properly or the safety integrity is in question, do NOT use and consult with Qualified
Person. No more than one PFAS may be connected to a Fall Arrest Anchor at one time.
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
and that there’s only one connection point per anchor per person. Perform a few pull
tests to verify that the connection has been effective.
Frontline connectors (snaphooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. See figure 2 for examples of
inappropriate connections.
WORK
POSITIONING
This system also is composed of the anchorage, connecting device such
as a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline and a harness.
Positioning devices shall be secured to an anchorage capable of
supporting at least twice the potential impact load of an employee’s
fall or 3,000 pounds (13.3 kN), whichever is greater. This system also
is composed of the anchorage, connecting device such as a lanyard or
self-retracting lifeline and a harness.
