6. SWING FALLS: Swing falls
occur when the anchor is
not directly above the point
where a fall occurs. The
force of striking an object
while swinging can be great
and cause serious injury.
Minimize swing
working as directly below the
anchorage as possible (the
worker must be positioned
within 30 degrees of the
roof anchor). It is acceptable
to captivate a lifeline (i.e.
rope grab system) to an
anchorage close to the work
area with a carabiner. Do not
captivate the lifeline of a self retracting lifeline as this may affect
the performance of its internal braking.
7. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where the connecting subsystem
(i.e. shock absorbing lanyard, self retracting lifeline, full body
harness, etc.) or other components will be in contact with,
or abrade against, unprotected sharp edges. Do not the loop
lanyard around small diameter structural members. If working
with equipment near sharp edges is unavoidable, protection
against cutting must be provided by using a heavy pad or other
means over the exposed sharp edge.
8. RESCUE: Should a fall occur, the user (employer) must have a
rescue plan. If a worker falls and is forced to remain suspended
