We all know that wearing your personal fall arrest equipment is the law. But more importantly, it’s common sense. The ABC’s of fall protection (Anchorage, Body Harness, Connections) will help ensure that your safeties are properly hooked up.

Anchorage
Anchorages are available in many different forms and are the most critical part of the fall protection system. An inadequate anchor will result in failure of all other components. OSHA requires an anchorage to be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. Contact our office for details concerning your specific anchorage needs.

Body Harness
This part of your fall protection system receives the most complaints; such as “It’s uncomfortable”, “It’s too heavy”, “It’s too big/small”. New body harnesses not only fit well, but are lighter and more comfortable than ever before. Body harnesses are now built to specific sizes, including models for women.
Connections
Lanyard- This device connects your body harness to the rope grab. Shock absorbing lanyards help to ease the body’s impact in the event of a fall.

This mechanical device locks onto the lifeline and serves as your “parking brake”. Most models use a cam-type lock. Several models have fail-safe locks that allow the grab to engage the lifeline even if the user holds the cam open.
Lifeline
5/8” Poly-Dac is the industry standard in the tri-state area. Poly-Dac has dynamic properties well suited for arresting a fall. With a breaking strength over 5,000 lbs, along with great UV and abrasion resistance, this is the lifeline you want.

ANSI Z-359.1 states: “Knots shall not be used for load-bearing end terminations” (section 3.2.7.2.2). This device allows the user to make an end termination without a knot or the knowledge of how to splice rope. Fully rated at 5,000 lbs. capacity. Device is reusable.
