1.0 PRODUCT APPLICATION
1.1 PURPOSE: Anchorage Systems are designed to provide anchorage connection points for a Personal Fall Arrest System
(PFAS).
1.2 SUPERVISION: Installation of this equipment must be supervised by a Qualied Person1. Use of this equipment must be
supervised by a Competent Person2.
1.3 TRAINING: This equipment must be installed and used by persons trained in its correct application. This manual is to be
used as part of an employee training program as required by OSHA. It is the responsibility of the users and installers of
this equipment to ensure they are familiar with these instructions, trained in the correct care and use of this equipment,
and are aware of the operating characteristics, application limitations, and consequences of improper use of this
equipment.
1.4 RESCUE PLAN: When using this equipment and connecting subsystem(s), the employer must have a rescue plan and
the means at hand to implement and communicate that plan to users, authorized persons3, and rescuers4. A trained, on-
site rescue team is recommended. Team members should be provided with the equipment and techniques to perform a
successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuer prociency.
1.5 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Anchorage System shall be inspected by the user before each use and, additionally, by
a competent person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year.
5
Inspection procedures are described in the
“Inspection and Maintenance Log” (Table 2). Results of each Competent Person inspection should be recorded on copies of
the “Inspection and Maintenance Log”.
2.0 SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 ANCHORAGE: Structure on which the Anchorage System is placed or mounted must meet the Anchorage specications
dened in Table 1.
FROM OSHA: Anchorages used for attachment of Personal Fall Arrest Systems shall be independent of any anchorage
being used to support or suspend platforms, and capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs (22 kN) per user attached, or
be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System which maintains a safety factor of a
least 2, and is under the supervision of a qualied person.
2.2 PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Figure 1 illustrates the application of this Flexiguard Anchorage System. Personal
Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) used with the system must meet applicable OSHA, ANSI, state, and federal requirements. The
PFAS shall incorporate a Full Body Harness and meet the following capabilities:
Maximum Arresting Force Maximum Free Fall Distance
PFAS with Shock Absorbing Lanyard 900 lb (4 kN) 6 ft (1.8 m)
Arresting Force Maximum Free Fall Distance
PFAS with Self Retracting Device
(SRD)
900 lb (4 kN) Maximum Arresting Force
or 900 lb (4 kN) Average Arresting
Force (as dened in ANSI Z359.14)
2 ft (0.61 m)
2.3 FALL PATH AND SRD LOCKING SPEED: A clear path is required to assure positive locking of an SRD. Situations which
do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the
body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRD to lock if a fall occurs. Working on slowly shifting material, such as sand
or grain, may not allow enough speed buildup to cause the SRD to lock.
2.4 HAZARDS: Use of this equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require additional precautions to prevent
injury to the user or damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to: heat, chemicals, corrosive
environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving machinery, sharp edges, or overhead materials
that may fall and contact the user or Personal Fall Arrest System.
2.5 FALL CLEARANCE: There must be sufcient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground
or other obstruction. Fall Clearance is dependent on the following factors:
• Deceleration Distance • Worker Height • Elevation of Anchorage Connector
• Free Fall Distance • Movement of Harness Attachment Element • Connecting Subsystem Length
See the Personal Fall Arrest System manufacturer’s instructions for specics regarding Fall Clearance calculation.
2.6 SWING FALLS: Swing Falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where the fall occurs (see
Figure 3). The force of striking an object while swinging from the pendulum effects of a Swing Fall can cause serious
injury. Swing Falls can be minimized by limiting the horizontal distance (H) between the user and the anchorage point,
In a Swing Fall, the total vertical fall distance (F) will be greater than if the user had fallen directly below the anchorage
point, thus increasing Fall Clearance required to safely arrest the user’s fall. See the PFAS manufacturer’s instructions for
details regarding Swing Falls and Fall Clearance calculation.
1 Qualied Person: A person with a recognized degree of professional certicate and with extensive knowledge, training, and experience in the fall protection
and rescue eld who is capable of designing, analyzing, evaluating, and specifying fall protections and rescue systems to the extent required by OSHA and other ap-
plicable standards.
2 Competent Person: One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazard-
ous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
3 Authorized Person: For purposes of the Z359 standards, a person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed
to a fall hazard.
4 Rescuer: Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.
5 Inspection Frequency: Extreme working conditions (harsh environments, prolonged use, etc.)may require increasing the frequency of competent person
inspections.

8
2.7 SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where Lifeline or Lanyard components of the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) can
contact or abrade against unprotected sharp edges (see Figure 4). Where contact with a sharp edge is unavoidable, cover
the edge with protective material (A).
2.8 COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY: 3M equipment is designed for use with 3M approved components and subsystems
only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of
equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
2.9 CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY: Connectors are considered to be 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. Contact 3M if you have any questions about compatibility.
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. Do not use equipment that is not compatible.
Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 5). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape,
and strength. If the connecting element to which a snap hook or carabiner attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a
situation could occur where the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner (A). This force
may cause the gate to open (B), allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point (C).
Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA.
2.10 MAKING CONNECTIONS: Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be self-locking. 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.
3M connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specied in each product’s user’s instructions.
See Figure 6 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.
 Large throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in
a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies is equipped with a 3,600
lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your application.
C. 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.
D. To each other.
E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and
connector specically allows such a connection).
F. To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that
roll-out could occur.
G. In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
