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.

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
