Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient
clearance below the work surface to arrest a
fall before the user strikes the ground or an
obstruction. When calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 2 ft (0,6 m) safety factor,
deceleration distance, user height, length of
lanyard/SRL, harness stretch, free fall, and all
other applicable factors.
See Diagram B on page 7.
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.
Compatibility
When making connections to the Halo Big Block
SRL, eliminate all possibility of roll-out. Roll-out
occurs when interference between a connector
and the attachment point causes the connector
gate to unintentionally open and release.
All connections must be selected and deemed
compatible with Halo Big Block SRL by a
Competent Person.
All connector gates must be self-closing, self-locking,
and withstand a minimum load of 3,600 lb (16 kN).
