Be sure that your anchorage is mounted overhead or above the level

specific restrictions in sections 3.5 – 3.9). Be sure to calculate your
clear-fall (as discussed in section 2.9) and to avoid swing fall hazards.

Section 6: Employer and User Training

6.1: Special notes for the Employer

As an employer, you may be obliged to provide Personal Protective
Equipment (to include Personal Fall Arrest and Fall Protection
Equipment) along with an appropriate amount of training to your
employees so that they will be adequately prepared to use this
equipment in the course of their work. If you are unsure about your duty
to provide fall protection, consult Title 29 CFR, section 1926.501 which
can easily be viewed at www.osha.gov. Another important resource for
employers is the Consensus standard on Managed Fall Protection:
ANSI Z359.2-2007.
Equally important is the subject of product/equipment selection. If
you are obliged to provide fall protection equipment for your employees,
be sure to consult with or appoint a competent or qualified person to
select and prescribe equipment that is suitable to address the specific
hazards which may be present on your job-site or in your facility. There
are different products for different applications, and under many
circumstances these products are not interchangeable. If you have
questions as to whether this product is suitable for your application,
please contact FallTech for assistance.
It is important to note that improper use of fall arrest equipment can
be just as dangerous as not using it at all. Failure to adequately train
and supervise your employees may result in serious injury or death. It is
critical to have a training program supported by documentation,
refresher/remedial training and to establish best practices where the
employment of all PPE is concerned.
