The authorized person/user shall have
a rescue plan and the means at hand to
implement it when using this equipment.
Never use fall protection equipment for
purposes other than those for which it was
designed. Fall protection equipment should
never be used for towing or hoisting.
All synthetic material must be protected
from slag, hot sparks, open flames, or other
heat sources. The use of heat resistant
materials is recommended in these
applications.
Environmental hazards should be
considered when selecting fall protection
equipment. Equipment must not be
exposed to chemicals which may produce
a harmful effect. Polyester should be used
in certain chemical or acidic environments.
Use in highly corrosive or caustic
environments dictates a more frequent
inspection and servicing program to ensure
