d. Connect to an Anchorage - Rebar Positioning Lanyard
Connect the hook on the rebar lanyard
to the intersection of the horizontal and
vertical rebar.
IV. Use Warnings, Restrictions and Cautions
a. Adequate Anchorages
For positioning operations, OSHA requires anchor strengths of
3000 lbs or twice the maximum expected load if the anchorage has
been certied by a qualied person. Use of any anchorage that is of
inadequate strength could result in injury or death.
b. Fall Distance
For work positioning applications, the potential fall distance cannot
be more than two feet. If there is a possibility of a fall of more than
two feet occurring, a back up fall arrest system should be used.
c. Swing Falls
Ensure that there will be no
possibility of a swing-fall impact.
Swing falls occur when the user is
not directly below the anchorage,
so if he falls his swing could
produce an impact with an object.
d. Capacity
Maximum capacity for all Werner lanyards is 310 lbs (140.6 kg) for
the combined weight of a worker and all tools. For any weight over
310 lbs (140.6 kg) contact Werner Co. for more information. The
employer should ensure that all other elements of the fall protection
system are adequate to support any higher weights.
e. Environmental Hazards
This equipment is used only under the direct supervision of a
competent person who is able to identify hazards that must be
avoided, including electrical and chemicals, machinery or other
moving objects, sharp edges, damaged anchorages or structures,
