2. PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM (PFAS): PFAS's selected
for use with this roof anchor must meet the system performance
and other criteria.
3. FREE FALL: PFAS's used with these roof anchors must be
rigged in such a way as to limit the free fall to a maximum of
6 feet. See associated connecting subsystem manufacturer's
instructions for further information.
4. FALL CLEARANCE : Make certain that enough clearance exists
in your fall path to prevent striking an object. The amount of
clearance needed is dependent upon the type of connecting
subsystem used (energy absorbing lanyard, self retracting
lifeline, etc.), and the anchorage location. Refer to manufacturer's
instructions of the connecting subsystem or component for more
information on fall clearance.
5. CORROSION: Use near sea water or other corrosive
environments may require more frequent inspections or servicing
(replacement) to assure corrosion damage is not affecting the
performance of the product.
6. CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Solutions containing acids, alkali, or
other caustic chemicals, especially at elevated temperatures,
may cause damage to this equipment. Consult Werner Co.
if doubt exists concerning installing this equipment where
chemical hazards are present.
7. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Do not install roof anchors where they
or the user may come into contact with electrical power lines.
IV. labels/Identification/Inspection records
a. All products should be inspected by the user thoroughly before
each use. Additional inspections by a competent person other than

any other factor that could affect the strength of any of the materials
or components.
b. This manual should always accompany the product, or be on file
with the employer for access when needed.
