WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
Chain Positioning Lanyards must be used for Work Positioning applications ONLY.
NEVER for use in Fall Arrest or any other fall protection applications.
Work Positioning: Chain Positioning Lanyard may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with both
hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least
3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side.
Rebar hook at center of Chain Positioning Lanyard must ONLY be
connected to structural rebar or other compatible structural anchor point.
Chain Positioning Lanyard snap hooks must ONLY be connected to applicable harness D-rings.
Guardian Fall Protection recommends that a back-up fall protection system, suitable
for Fall Arrest applications, be used in conjunction with Chain Positioning Lanyards.
Worker capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment):
ANSI 130-310 lbs., OSHA 100-420 lbs.
NEVER use Chain Positioning Lanyards for rigging equipment or as material hoists.
Limitations
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, 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.
