h. Connecting to Anchorage or Anchorage Connector
When attaching the lifeline or lifeline
subsystem to the anchorage or anchorage
connector, ensure the connector used (self
locking snap hook) is fully engaged and
locked onto the connection point. Ensure
connections are compatible in size, shape,
and strength.
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for the
anchorage connector and lifeline for further
information.
i. Connecting to the Body Support
For fall arrest applications, connect to the
dorsal D-ring located between the shoulders
on the back of the full body harness. For
restraint applications, the dorsal or frontal
harness attachment may be used. If using a
body belt for restraint applications connect
to the D-ring opposite the restraining load.
Ensure connections are compatible in size,
shape, and strength. Refer to the body support manufacturer’s
instructions for more information on making connections.
j. Connecting to the Rope Grab
When connecting an energy absorbing lanyard to the rope grab,
attach the lanyard end (vs. the energy absorber end) to the rope
grab to reduce possible interference with the operation of the rope
grab by the energy absorber “pack”. Some rope grab models may be
supplied with a permanently attached lanyard or energy absorber.
Do not attempt to attach additional lanyards or connectors to these
subsystems. If using a carabiner to connect directly to the rope
grab, ensure the carabiner will not interfere with the operation of the
rope grab. Carabiners must be of the self closing/self locking type.
Ensure connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength.
Ensure the connector attached to the rope grab allows the handle
to rotate freely, and does not interfere with the rope grab operation.
