Product Specific Applications
Personal Fall Arrest: Temper Anchor may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in Fall
Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if used in combination with
equipment explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: Temper Anchor may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
!
WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.
Limitations
Compatibility: When making connections with
Temper Anchor, eliminate all possibility of roll-out.
Roll-out occurs when interference between a
hook and the attachment point causes the hook
gate to unintentionally open and release. All
connections must be selected and deemed
compatible with Temper Anchor by a Competent
Person. All connector gates must be self-closing
and self-locking, and withstand minimum loads
of 3,600 lbs. See the following for examples of
compatible/incompatible connections:
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance
below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall
before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction.
When calculating fall clearance, account for a
MINIMUM 2’ safety factor, deceleration distance,
user height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch,
and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always work as close to
in line with the anchor point as possible.
Swing falls significantly increase the
likelihood of serious injury or death in the
event of a fall.
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing
worker falling directly in-line with anchor point.
Always consider potential swing fall and other
hazards when calculating fall clearance.
*Eliminate Swing Fall
whenever possible!
If Swing Fall exists,
always account for
additional fall clearance.
