Regulations & Standards

The ABC’s of a Personal Fall Arrest SystemThree key components of the Personal Fall ArrestSystem (PFAS) must be in place and properly used to provide maximum worker protection.

Anchorage/Anchorage ConnectorAnchorage: Commonly referred to as a tie-off point (Ex: I-beam, rebar, scaffolding, lifeline, etc.)

Anchorage Connector: Used to join the connecting device to the anchorage (Ex: cross-arm strap, beam anchor, D-bolt, hook anchor, etc.)

• Anchorages must be capable of supporting 5,000 pounds (22kN) of force per worker.

• Must be high enough for a worker to avoid contact with a lower level

should a fall occur.

ABC’s

Individually, these components will not provideprotection from a fall. Used properly in conjunction with each other, however, they form a Personal Fall Arrest System that becomesvitally important to safety on the jobsite and the overall fall protection program.

BBody WearBody Wear: The personal protective equipment worn by the worker (Ex: full-body harness)

• Only form of body wear acceptable for fall arrest is the full-body harness.

• Should be selected based on work to be performed and the work environment.

• Ask for a Miller Harness Selection Guide from your nearest Miller distributor.

CConnecting DeviceConnecting Device: The critical link which joins the body wear to the anchorage/anchorage connector (Ex: shock-absorbing lanyard, fall limiter, self-retracting lifeline, rope grab, etc.)

• Potential fall distance must be calculated to determine type of connecting device to be used.

• Should also be selected based on work to be performed and the work environment.

Four Functional Equipment Categories

Fall Arrest

As a general rule, it is recom-mended that a fall arrest systembe used at working heights offour feet or more. This systemconsists of:• anchorage/

anchorage connector• body wear (full-body harness)• connecting device

Positioning/Restraint*

A positioning/restraint systemis used to hold a worker inplace while allowing a hands-free work environmentat elevated heights and/orrestrict the worker’s movementto prevent reaching a locationwhere a fall hazard exists. Atypical positioning/restraintsystem consists of:• anchorage/

anchorage connector• body wear (full-body harness

or body belt)• connecting device

(positioning lanyard)

Suspension*

Suspension systems are used widely in the windowwashing and painting indus-tries and are designed tolower and support a workerwhile allowing a hands-free workenvironment. A typical suspen-sion system would include:• anchorage/anchorage

connector (anchor bolt, trolley, carabiner, etc.)

• body wear (full-body harness)

• connecting device (workline)• suspension device

(bos’n chair)

Retrieval

The retrieval system is primarilyused in confined space applica-tions where workers must entertanks, manholes, etc. and mayrequire retrieval from above shouldan emergency occur. A retrieval system typically consists of:• anchorage/anchorage

connector (tripod, davit)• body wear (full-body harness)• connecting device (retractable

lifeline/retrieval unit)

Occupation/Application Legend

Construction Roofing Scaffold Ironworker

PainterIndustrial Warehouse

Proper selection of system components is essential to worker safety. The occupation legend is intended to serve as a guide to assist users in determining which products are best for which applications.Look for these symbols throughout the catalog!

Positioning/Restraint

*The positioning and suspension systems are not designed for fall arrest, and therefore a back-up fall arrest system should be used.

• Allows user to attach lanyard when not in use

• Minimizes hazards associated with the lanyard hanging freely

• Extra lanyard ring available on non-front D-ring harnesses for attaching two-legged lanyards

Not standard on Welder Harnesses

Front D-Ring

• Used for a variety of climbing, confined spaceand rescue applications

Side D-Rings

• Most commonly used for work positioning

Shoulder D-Rings

• Primarily used for lifting and lowering individuals, such as in confined space and rescue applications

Friction Buckle

To adjust the friction buckle,simply pass the webbing overthe knurled bar and backdown between the knurledbar and frame. Pull web endto tighten.

Mating/Quick-Connect Buckle

To connect the mating buckle,push the center bar bucklecompletely through thesquare link and allow it to fall into place. Pull web endto tighten.

Tongue/Grommet Buckle

The tongue buckle works similarto a standard belt buckle. Insertthe loose strap of webbingthrough the tongue buckleplacing the buckle tonguethrough the appropriate grommethole. Then push the remainingwebbing through the keeper.

6 Easy Steps ThatCould Save Your Life:How To Put On A Harness

Miller Shock-Absorbing Lanyards extend deceleration distance during a fall, significantlyreducing fall arrest forces by 65 to 80 percentbelow the threshold of injury. This ensures greater safety on the jobsite. However, whenusing a shock-absorbing lanyard, it is important to understand how to calculate potential fall distance to avoid contact with a lower level.

Calculating YourPotential Fall Distance

Miller ®Shock-AbsorbingLanyards

1. When using a six foot shock-absorbing lanyard and a full-body harness, first add the length of the shock- absorbing lanyard [6 ft. (1.8m)] to the maximum elongation of the shock absorber during deceleration [3-1/2 ft. (1.1m) ] to the average height of a worker [6 ft. (1.8m) ].

2. Then, add a safety factor of 3 ft. (1m) to allow for the possibility of an improperly fit harness, a taller than average worker and/or a miscalculation of distance.

3. The total, 18-1/2 ft. (5.6m), is the suggested safe fall clearance distance, the height at which you must attach to an anchorage to minimize the risk of contact with a lower level.

Connecting Devices14

Miller Splat Indicator

For a quick and easy alternativeto calculating your fall distance,use the Miller Splat Indicator. • Similar to a plumb bob, simply

attach the device to an anchorage or to the lanyard at the anchoring snap hook and lower the weight using the attached string.

• If the weight strikes a lower level, then a higher anchorage must be selected.

• If a higher anchorage is not accessible, a shorter lanyard or a fall limiter should be used.

First Integral Positive-Lock Engagement System

Miller Shadow Beam Anchors connect horizontally to a wide range of I andH beam flanges from 4 inches (100mm) to 24 inches (610mm) wide and upto 2-1/2 inches (63mm) thick. Once attached, the units (Models 8811 and8814) slide along the beam with the worker to provide increased safety,mobility and productivity. The fixed unit (Model 8815) is designed to betightened horizontally or vertically, firmly gripping the beam or column toprovide a temporary or permanent anchorage attachment.

Miller Anchorage Connectors are used for securing a connecting device to an anchorage. Careful consideration should be given to selecting a proper anchorage for ultimate safety. The anchorage should: be easily accessible; support 5,000 pounds (22kN) per worker; and be located a safe distance above any lower obstacles.

Developing a Fall Protection Program34

Understanding Regulations and Standards

Application of regulatory requirements depends on the specific location, industry and operations of the workplace. In the event of an inspection, the company will be assessed on how well the operation meets the regulatory requirements of each particular job. Employers should obtain copies of the regulations that apply to their work activities and begin a fall protection regulations file.

Hazard Identification

A well-conceived fall protection program begins with identification of all fall hazards in the workplace. As a general rule, any time a worker is at a height greater than 4feet (1.2m), a fall hazard exists. Where a fall hazard exists, there are two acceptableoptions: (1) eliminate the hazard, or (2) provide protection against it. Ideally, it is best to totally eliminate the hazard. Since that is often not possible, however, othermeasures such as the wearing of personal protection equipment (PPE) are required.

Written Fall Protection Program

Following hazard identification, a written program should be developed specifying how to deal with each hazard. If standardized safe-work practices and operating procedures can eliminate the hazard, then such procedures should be specified.

Where hazard elimination is impossible, the plan should state what fall protectionmeasures are to be used, how they are to be used, and who is responsible for overall supervision and training. This program need not be elaborate, but should cover the basic elements of the plan. The program needs to be clearly conveyed and understood by all participants.

Product Selection

The employer must know the types of fall protection products that are available, and decide which would be most suitable for the workplace. Because all work environments differ, it is impossible for the manufacturer to determine exactly which fall protection products will provide maximum protection for each job. Byunderstanding how fall protection products operate and knowing the differences in product functions, the employer can select products that are best suited for their workers.

Training

All workers must be trained in the proper use of fall protection equipment beforeusing any fall protection products. Workers must be able to identify potential fall hazards, determine which products to use in specific work environments, demonstrateproper anchoring procedures, etc. Employees must also learn inspection and maintenance procedures and the proper wearing of fall protection equipment.

Inspection & Maintenance of a Personal Fall Arrest System

36

Harness (and Body Belt) Inspection

To inspect your harness or body belt, perform the following procedures.

1) Webbing – Grasp the webbing with your hands 6 inches (152mm) to 8 inches (203mm) apart. Bend the webbing in an inverted “U” as shown. The surface tension resulting makes damaged fibers or cuts easier to detect. Follow this procedure the entire length of the webbing, inspecting both sides of each strap. Look for frayed edges, broken fibers, pulled stitches, cuts, burns, and chemical damage.

2) D-Rings/Back Pads – Check D-rings for distortion, cracks, breaks, and rough or sharp edges. The D-ring should pivot freely. D-ring back pads should also be inspected for damage.

3) Attachment of Buckles – Inspect for any unusual wear, frayed or cut fibers, or broken stitching of the buckle or D-ring attachments.

4) Tongue/Grommets – The tongue receives heavy wear from repeated buckling and unbuckling. Inspect for loose distorted or broken grommets. Webbing should not have additional punched holes.

5) Tongue Buckles – Buckle tongues should be free of distortion in shape and motion. They should overlap the buckle frame and move freely back and forth in their socket. Roller should turn freely on frame. Check for distortion or sharp edges.

6) Friction and Mating Buckles – Inspect the buckle for distortion. The outer bars and center bars must be straight. Pay special attention to corners and attachment points at the center bar.

Lanyard Inspection

When inspecting lanyards, begin at one end and work to the opposite end, slowly rotating the lanyard so that the entire circumference is checked. Additionally, follow the procedures below.

1) Hardware –a. Snaps: Inspect closely for hook and eye distortions, cracks, corrosion, or pitted surfaces. The keeper (latch)

should seat into the nose without binding and should not be distorted or obstructed. The keeper spring should exert sufficient force to firmly close the keeper. Keeper locks must prevent the keeper from opening when the keeper closes.

b. Thimbles: The thimble must be firmly seated in the eye of the splice, and the splice should have no loose or cut strands. The edges of the thimble must be free of sharp edges, distortion, or cracks.

2) Steel Lanyard – While rotating the steel lanyard, watch for cuts, frayed areas, or unusual wearing patternson the wire. Broken strands will separate from the body of the lanyard.

3) Web Lanyard – While bending webbing over a pipe or mandrel, observe each side of the webbed lanyard. This will reveal any cuts or breaks. Swelling, discoloration, cracks, and charring are obvious signs of chemical or heat damage. Observe closely for any breaks in stitching.

4) Rope Lanyard – Rotation of the rope lanyard while inspecting from end-to-end for any fuzzy, worn, broken or cut fibers. Weakened areas from extreme loads will appear as a noticeable change in original diameter. The rope diameter should be uniform throughout, following a short break-in period.

5) Shock Absorber Pack – The outer portion of the pack should be examined for burn holes and tears.Stitching on areas where the pack is sewn to D-rings, belts, or lanyards should be examined for loose strands, rips, and deterioration.

6) Shock-Absorbing Lanyard – Shock-absorbing lanyards should be examined as a web lanyard (described initem 3 above). However, also look for the warning flag or signs of deployment. If the flag has been activated, remove this shock-absorbing lanyard from service.

To maintain proper service life and high performance, fall protection products should be inspected regularly!

Cleaning

Basic care of all safety equipment will prolong the durable life of the unit and will contribute toward the performance of its vital safety function. Proper storage and maintenance after use are as important as cleansing the equipment of dirt,corrosives, or contaminants. Storage areas should be clean, dry and free of exposure to fumes or corrosive elements.1) Nylon or Polyester – Remove all surface dirt with a sponge dampened in plain water. Squeeze the sponge dry. Dip the sponge

in a mild solution of water and commercial soap or detergent. Work up a thick lather with a vigorous back and forth motion; thenwipe with a clean cloth. Hang freely to dry, but away from excessive heat.

2) Drying – Equipment should dry thoroughly without close exposure to heat, steam, or long periods of sunlight.

37General Fall Protection Considerations

The following factors are key considerations to provide maximum fall protection safety and to ensure compliance with regulations and standards.

1) Warnings – Always read all instructions and warnings contained on the product and packaging before using any fall protection equipment.

2) Inspection – All fall protection equipment should be inspected prior to each use.

3) Training – All workers should be trained by a Competent Person inthe proper use of fall protection products.

4) Regulations – Understand all Federal, State, Local and Provincial regulations pertaining to fall protection before selecting and using the equipment.

5) Rescue Planning – Minimizing the time between a fall occurrence and medical attention of the worker is vitally important. A thorough rescue program should be established prior to using fall protection equipment.

6) Product/System Preferences – If there are any doubts about which fall protection products to use, contact your Miller Distributor or call Miller Customer Service. For guidelines on selecting a basic personal fall arrest system, refer to The ABC’s of a Personal Fall Arrest System on page 3 of this catalog.

7) System Components – Only components that are fully compatible with one another should be used. Fall arrest systems are designed and tested as complete systems and should be used in this way.

8) What to Do After a Fall – After a fall occurs, all components of the fall arrest system should be removed from service.

9) Call for Information – If there are any questions or concerns about your fall protection program or system, contact Miller/Troll Training at 1-800-873-5242.
