e. Cable Anchor Extensions
Cable anchor extensions come in various
standard lengths. They differ from cable
chokers because they are intended
to extend the position of an existing
anchorage connector to within reach of a
user, so the extensions have a snap-hook on one end to connect
to the existing anchorage connector, and an O-ring on the other, to
provide the new extended anchorage connection for the user.
Installing a Cable Anchor Extension
1. Calculate the needed extension length considering the worker’s
needs and the available fall distance to be sure there will not be
any contact with any object in the fall path. Connect the snap
hook to the existing fall protection anchorage. Connect ONLY
with the snap hook and NEVER loop the extender around the
anchorage as you would a choker.
2. The user should connect to the extender’s O-ring as he would to
any other suitable anchorage.
CAUTION:
Anchor extensions are not cable
chokers and should not be used
as such. The ONLY approved
fall protection attachment
point is to the O-ring. NEVER
connect two snap hooks to
one O-ring or the snap hook
to the cable. Connect it ONLY
to the existing anchorage.
The Anchorage Extenders are
not anchorages themselves.
They are only extensions of
an existing anchorage. ONLY
connect the Anchor Extensions
to an overhead anchor and
never in any position that could
increase the user’s fall distance
beyond the allowable free fall
distance of 6 feet.
