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.
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.
