Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all swing fall
hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. Always
work as close to in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls signicantly increase the likelihood
of serious injury or death in the even of a fall. (See Figure 2)

COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together
in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open
regardless of how they become oriented. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be
capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage
or other system components (See Figure 4). Do not use equipment that is not compatible.
Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (See Figure 3). Connectors must be
compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI
Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze if you have any questions about compatibility.

NOTE: SOME SPECIALITY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS. CONTACT Safewaze WITH QUESTIONS.
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 4 - INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/or twist lock. Ensure
all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible.
Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specied in each
product’s user’s instructions. See gure 4 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect
snap hooks and carabiners:
• To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
• In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back hooks).
• NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a load on the gate if
the hook twists or rotates. Snap hooks marked with ANSI Z359.12 and are equipped with a 3,600 lb
(16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
•In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the
anchor, and without visual conrmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.
• To each other.
•By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as allowed for Tie Back
models.
•To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and
lock, or that roll-out could occur.
•In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook or carabiner could
allow the connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate
of the hook or carabiner presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This
allows the snap hook or carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.

• Never alter any part of a lanyard or add/remove components. Safewaze shall not be
held responsible for injury or death due to tampering.
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a fall.
• A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required. The rescue plan
must be specic to the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue
themselves, or to be promptly rescued by alternative means.
• Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any Safewaze lanyard must be
compatible in size and conguration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks,
carabiners and other connectors. Any connection which could allow disengagement
must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be self locking and self closing
and must never be hooked to each other.
• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate
where workers will be conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their
work, and the existing and potential fall hazards they may be exposed to. The
Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or
hoist tools or equipment unless specically certied for such use.
•Safewaze LE Lanyards shall be inspected by the user prior to each use and at least
annually by a Competent Person. Annual Inspections must be documented. Severity of
conditions during use may neccesitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• LE Lanyards that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the LE Lanyard for deciencies or damage, including, but
not limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical
exposure, extreme heat exposure, or missing or illegible labels. If any deciencies or
defects are found, the LE Lanyard must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.

Noted
Corrective Action Initials
LABEL EXAMPLES
1. Under guidance of a Competent Person, a suitable anchor point must be chosen that meets the
strength requirement, minimizes free fall, and reduces swing fall hazards. Do not work above the
anchorage point.
2. The LE Lanyard can be attached to any anchorage that meets the strength
requirements as dened in the APPLICATIONS section of this manual for Personal Fall Arrest, Restraint,
and Rescue.
3. The LE Lanyard must be inspected prior to installation for any defect including, but not limited to,
deformities, cracks, severe corrosion, excessive paint, welding spatter or slag, broken wires, bird caging,
or any excessive debris or condition that would potentially impede the installation or use of the LE
Lanyard. (See Figure 7 A-D for examples of cable damage)
4. The LE Lanyard is designed for use in Leading Edge Environments. The preferred connection of the
lanyard to a fall arrest anchorage is at D-ring height or above. However, the LE Lanyard is suitable for
foot level tie o if required, for a maximum 12 ft. Free Fall. Tying o below the level of the Dorsal D-ring
on your Full Body Harness or at foot level should always be a last resort, as addtional fall clearance is
required, and there is a greater risk of swing fall injuries.
5. Ensure that the energy absorber end of the lanyard is connected to the Dorsal D-ring of the Full Body
Harness.
6. Avoid working in a position which would allow the lanyard to continuously or repeatedly rub or abrade
against sharp or abrasive edges. Eliminate this type of contact if possible, or protect such edges with
heavy padding or an edge protector.
