6. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where parts of the system will
be in contact with, or abrade against, unprotected sharp edges.
7. RESCUE: Should a fall occur, the user (employer) must have a
rescue plan. If a worker falls and is forced to remain suspended
for any length of time, physical damage to the body or even
death can result. For this reason Werner, OSHA, ANSI, CSA
and most local regulations require that a rescue plan and the
means to implement the rescue plan are in place before use of
this equipment.
8. AFTER A FALL: Any equipment which has been subjected
to the force of arresting a fall must be removed from service
immediately.
9. GENERAL USE CONSIDERATIONS: Avoid working where
lifeline may cross or tangle with that of another worker. Do not
allow the lanyard to pass under arms or between legs. Do not
clamp, tie, or otherwise prevent the rope grab lanyard connection
handle from moving freely into the “locked” position.
10. SLOPED ROOFS: Provisions must be made (warning lines,
monitors, guardrails) to prevent swing falls from unprotected roof
edges or corners. The rope grab should be connected to the
body support using a locking carabiner (direct connection) or
a short lanyard. If a lanyard is used for connecting to the rope
grab, keep the length as short as possible, and never greater
than three feet. The lifeline must be protected from contact with
sharp or abrasive edges and surfaces. The rope grab locking
operation must not be hindered by interference with the roof or
objects on the roof surface.
11. UNSTABLE SURFACES: The rope grab is not suitable for use
on unstable or slowly shifting materials, such as sand or grain.
Warning:
Never connect more than one personal fall arrest or restraint system
to a single lifeline or rope grab.
Warning:
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated equipment used in
your fall protection or restraint system.
