Prior to installation, plan your system:
1. All components of the personal fall arrest system must be selected and deemed compatible
with the applicable Cross Arm Strap/Cable Choker by a Competent Person.
2. Inspect work area to ensure the absence of all hazards, including, but not limited to, debris,
rot, rust, heat, corrosive chemicals, machinery, electric shock, and sharp or abrasive edges or
surfaces.
3. Eliminate or minimize all risk of swing fall hazards.
Installation:
1. Place Cross Arm Strap/Cable Choker over compatible structural anchorage. Labels MUST face
out. For Cross Arm Straps, anchorage MUST NOT have sharp or abrasive edges or surfaces. Cable
Chokers are designed to resist wear resulting from contact from sharp or abrasive edges and
surfaces, but this contact should be minimized as much as possible.
2. For Cross Arm Straps/Cable Chokers with large and small D-rings, or with web loop and
D-ring, pass small D-ring through large D-ring/web loop, and pull until strap is taut. Cross Arm
Strap/Cable Choker may be looped around structural anchorage multiple times to reduce excess
length. Pass through large D-ring/web loop each time Cross Arm Strap/Cable Choker is wrapped
around anchorage.
3. For Cable Choker with snap hook ends, connect snap hook directly to cable. NEVER attach snap
hook directly to Cable Eye.
4. For Cable Choker with thimble ends, connect thimble ends with compatible carabiner.
5. Connect complete and compatible PFAS to small D-ring, or to cable if applicable. NEVER make
connections to large D-ring or web loop. NEVER make more than one attachment per connection
point.

Ensure no risk exists for Cross Arms Strap/Cable Choker
