WARNING!
If overhead tie off is not feasible, and an approved system has the potential for a free fall greater than six feet,
and up to a maximum of ten feet, Guardian Fall Protection recommends using a personal fall arrest system
incorporating a Guardian Fall Protection Heavy Duty Shock Absorbing Lanyard. The Heavy Duty Lanyard is
designed to keep fall arresting forces below the required standard of 1,800 lbs. Standard type lanyards might
generate impact fall forces in excess of the legal requirement when subjected to a free fall of more than 6ft.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS:
Refer to potential applicable standards. Standards might include OSHA regulatio n s depe nd in g o n t he t ype of work, an d also mig ht include state regulations. Consul t
regulatory agenc ies for more i nformation on personal fall arrest s yst ems and associated components. This product is designed to comply with OSHA and ANSI
standards when used properly, and in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
LIMI TA TIONS CONTIN UED:
 Swing Falls: Swin g falls occu r when the anchora ge point is not
directly above the point where a fall occurs. The force of striking
an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury or death.
Minimize the risk of swing falls by working as close to the
anchorage point as possible. Do not permit a swing fall if
injury could occur. S wing fal ls w ill s ignific an t ly
increase the clearance requir ed when a self retr acting
lifeline or other variable length connecting system is
used.
 Potential Environmental Hazards: Use of fall protection
equi pm ent i n ar eas wit h environment al haza r ds may req uire
addit ional precautions to prevent injury to the user or damage to
the equipment. Hazards may include but are not limited to:
chemic als, corrosive en vironments, high voltage power lines,
gases, m oving machinery, and sharp edges.
