3. Calculate possible swing fall hazards, total fall distance, and
required clearance distance. If you have a swing-fall hazard or
do not have the required clearance distance, STOP and
reevaluate your application and system. Your work location
should never exceed an angle of 15 degrees in any direction in
relation to your anchorage location.
4. Inspect this
Fall Arrest System in accordance with Section 8 of this manual.
Be sure to consult, and adhere to the instructional
materials, labels and warnings accompanying the other
components of your PFAS as well.
5. Remove the detent pin from the variable position jaw and slide it
away from the D-ring enough to allow the beam flange to fit
between the jaws.
6. Position the Ratcheting/Sliding Beam Anchor under the bottom
flange of an overhead beam so that both jaws extend over the
flange.
7. Slide the variable position jaw toward the D-ring until both jaws
are in direct contact with the beam flange. Fasten the variable
position jaw in place by inserting the detent-pin through the hole
directly adjacent to the variable position jaw on the opposite side
of the jaw from the D-ring. Note: The detent-pin must always
be on the outside of the variable position jaw, between the
jaw and the end of the beam anchor bar. (see figure 3.2)
8. Check to make sure that the maximum total clearance between
the jaws and the beam flange is no more than half an inch (or
one hole-spacing on the bar).
9. Check your installation to ensure that the Detent-Pin Beam
Anchor cannot come off of the beam at any point along the
intended path of movement or at beam joints or ends. Ensure
that the variable position jaw is locked in place by the detent
pin.
10. Ensure your Full Body Harness is properly donned and adjusted
and that your connecting device is securely attached to your
back D-ring. Tie-off to the Detent-Pin Beam Anchor with your
connecting device.
11. Proceed cautiously with your work. Do not run, jump or over-
reach. While moving, the Detent-Pin Beam Anchor should slide
on the beam, allowing you greater mobility. If it does not slide
smoothly, then check to ensure the D-ring on the Beam Anchor
is centered on the beam. Also check for jagged edges,
fasteners, paint build-up welding spatter or other obstructions.
Any type of obstruction or any sudden movement may
cause the Beam Anchor to seize-up on the beam, causing
Beam Anchor, and all components of your Personal
