Product Specific Applications
Personal Fall Arrest: Construction Tux™ Harness 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: Construction Tux™ Harness 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
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 3’ 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.
Rescue/Confined Space: Construction Tux™ Harness may be used in Rescue/Confined Space
applications. Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after
exposed to a fall. There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of
rescue. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at
least 3,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.
Work Positioning: Construction Tux™ Harness 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, Shoulder.
