Connecting Devices
Use only lanyards containing locking snap hooks or
auto-locking carabiners.
Always visually check that each snap hook and
carabiner freely engages the D-ring or anchor point,
and that its keeper is completely closed and locked.
Connect in a manner that limits free fall to the shortest
possible distance (6ft / 1.8m maximum).
Shock absorbers can elongate up to 3.5ft (1.07m).
This elongation distance must be considered when
choosing an anchorage point.
Connect in a manner which ensures a lower level will
not be struck should a fall occur.
Do not tie knots in lanyards.
Never disable or restrict a locking keeper or alter
connecting devices in any way.
Do not attach multiple lanyards together, or attach
a lanyard back onto itself unless it is specifically
designed for that purpose.
Anchor Points
Anchor points must be capable of supporting 5000lbs.
(22kN) or meet OSHA 1926.502 requirements for a
safety factor of 2 per worker.
Always work directly under the anchor point to avoid a
swing-fall injury.
Never wrap lanyards around sharp or rough anchor
points. Use a cross-arm strap or other compatible
anchorage connector to connect lanyard snaphook.
Ensure that the anchor point is at a height that limits
free-fall distance to 6ft (1.8m) or less.
Installation of Components not Offered by Miller
Your Fall Arrest Post can be used as a support structure for various types of safety devices. Some of these
can mount directly to the swivel tie off rings at the top of the Portable Fall Arrest Post, while others may require
an adapter bracket available by Miller. Any accessories being used for the Portable Fall Arrest Post must be
installed, inspected, maintained, and operated according to Miller instructions. All installations must be approved
to local standards by a qualified engineer.
Us er Instru cti o ns - E ng l i sh
Do not wrap lanyards around sharp or rough edges.
Use a cross-arm strap, tie back lanyard or other
compatible anchorage connector and connect to the
back of the D-ring of the harness.
Do not allow rope or webbing to come in contact with
high temperature surfaces, welding, heat sources,
electrical hazards, or moving machinery.
A shock absorbing lanyard, self-retracting lifeline or
other equipment specifically designed for fall arrest
must be used as a connecting device.
Never use natural materials (manila, cotton, etc.) as
part of a fall protection system.
Do not connect onto an object which is not compatible
with lanyard snaphooks or carabiners.
Make sure snaphook is positioned so that its keeper
is never load bearing.
Anchor point must be compatible with snaphook or
carabiner and must not be capable of causing a load
to be applied to the keeper.
Ensure that the anchor point 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
3.5ft (1.07m).
Never use an anchor point which will not allow
snaphook or carabiner keeper to close.
