4 English Equipment must not be exposed to environmental hazards and chemicals which may produce a harmful effect. Do not allow equipment to come in contact with anything that will damage it including, but not limited to, sharp, abrasive, rough or high-temperature surfaces, welding, heat sources, electrical hazards, or moving machinery. Do not expose the equipment to any hazard which it is not designed to withstand. Consult the manufacturer in cases of doubt. Always check for obstructions below the work area to make sure potential fall path is clear. Allow adequate fall clearance below the work surface. 2.0 System Compatibility All Miller fall protection products are designed for use with Miller approved components. Substitution or replacement with non-approved component combinations or subsystems or both may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other and endanger the compatibility within the system. This incompatibility may affect the reliability and safety of the total system. Personal Fall Arrest System Three key components of the Personal Fall Arrest System need to be in place and properly used to provide maximum worker protection. A. ANCHOR POINT/ANCHORAGE CONNECTOR The first component is the anchor point and/or anchorage connector. The anchor point, also referred to as the tie-off point or anchorage, is a secure point of attachment for connecting devices and must be capable of supporting a 5,000 lb. (22.2 kn) static load or provide a 2:1 safety factor in the direction of pull, such as an I-beam or other support structure. Anchorage connectors, such as the cross-arm strap, carabiner, or D-bolt anchor, are sometimes necessary to make compatible connections between the connecting device and the anchor point. B. BODY WEAR The second system component is the personal protective gear worn by workers while performing the job. Full-body harnesses are engineered to aid in the arrest of a free fall and should be worn in all situations where workers are exposed to a potential free fall. The full-body harness must be used in conjunction with shock-absorbing equipment to keep fall forces to a minimum. It is imperative that the harness be worn properly. A B C C. CONNECTING DEVICE The third component of the system is the connecting device, which serves as the intermediary connecting the full-body harness to the anchorage connector or anchor point. The most important feature of the connecting device is the built-in shock absorber. Whether the connecting device is a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, they are designed to dramatically reduce fall arresting forces. Rope, web or cable lanyards being used for fall arrest MUST be used in conjunction with a shock absorber. 4

5 English 3.0 Anchorage Connector Installation Installation Warnings, Limitations and Requirements for All Anchorage Connectors Before installation of any anchorage connector, carefully inspect to ensure that it is in useable condition. Check for missing or damaged parts. Do not use this equipment if any component does not operate properly or if the unit appears to be damaged in any way. Refer to the inspection section of this manual. Only trained and competent personnel should install and use this equipment. Ensure that the anchor point is at a height that limits free fall distance to 6 feet (1.8m) or less. Always work directly under the anchor point to avoid a swing-fall injury. Ensure that the anchorage connector is at a height that will not allow a lower level to be struck should a fall occur. When selecting an anchorage point, always remember that shock absorbers may elongate up to 3-1/2 feet (1.07m). Fall arrest systems used with the anchorage connector must be rigged in accordance to regulatory requirements. [All instructions and warnings provided with the components of the personal fall arrest system must be read, understood, and followed.] Make sure that all connections within the fall arrest system are compatible.
