SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Compatible Connectors: In order to use Frontline Fall Protection Anchors, connecting
devices must including a compatible connector.
Compatible connectors must be approved snaphooks or carabiner which meet OSHA
and ANSI standards to be compatible with the member to which they are connected
to prevent unintentional disengagement. Snaphooks or carabiners shall be of locking
type designed and used to prevent disengagement of the snaphook by the contact of
the snaphook keeper by the connected member.
Structural Requirement: It is the requirement of the installer and user of the equipment
that the substrate where the anchor is being installed can withstand a minimum
breaking strength or 5,000 lbs per person or as part of a complete personal fall arrest
system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of
a qualified person.
General Disclaimer: Frontline has tested their product to comply with OSHA and/or ANSI
under a controlled environment and with certain substrates. Frontline cannot and
does not guarantee the same performance for different substrates other than the ones
mentioned in these user manuals. Frontline anchors will meet or exceed OSHA and/or
ANSI requirements, but it’s ultimately up the end user/installer/owner of the product
to ensure that their specific substrate will resist and withstand the required loads as
stated by OSHA and/or ANSI or other governing safety entities. Please contact ino@
frontlinefall.com if you have any questions regarding this subject matter.
Making connections: When making the anchor connecting device connection, ensure
that the connecting equipment is compatible and meets or exceeds OSHA and ANSI
standards. Once connected, visually inspect the connection and perform a pull test to
ensure that the equipment is locked and fully functioning. If equipment is not working
properly or the safety integrity is in question, do NOT use and consult with Qualified
Person. No more than one PFAS may be connected to a Fall Arrest Anchor at one time.
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
and that there’s only one connection point per anchor per person. Perform a few pull
tests to verify that the connection has been effective.
Frontline connectors (snaphooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. See figure 2 for examples of
inappropriate connections.

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, unless the snap hook complies with
ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate.
Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
Personal Fall Arrest System: All PFAS used with this equipment must meet
OSHA and ANSI Z359 requirements. A full body harness along with a compliant
connecting device must be worn when this equipment is used as a component
of a PFAS. As required by OSHA, the PFAS must be able to arrest the user’s fall
with a maximum arresting force of 1,800 lbs (8 kN), and limit the free fall to 6
ft (1.8 m). Once equipment is subject to a fall or an impact, equipment must be
removed from service.
Structure Mounting Strength: The structure and mounting hardware must be
capable of withstanding at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached.
Installations MUST comply with all Federal, State, and local regulation standards
and be approved by a Qualified Person before use.
Structure Mounting Selection: When selecting a mounting structure, there are
various factors to considered. Some which are described below, but not all
inclusive:
• Select a structural component that can withstand a minimum breaking
strength of 5,000 lbs.
• Select a work area, that will be free of obstructions.
• Select a work area, that will be free of any other recognizable safety hazards.
• Select and overhead anchor when possible. If overhead anchor is no possible,
ensure that all the equipment used to connect the anchor is rated for below
the waist tie-off.
• Ensure there are no swing hazards.
If the user is unable to determine whether the anchorage meets the
manufacturer’s specification, please contact Frontline at [e-mail]
Before Working with your PFAS: It is required that before using PFAS, a fall
protection plan should be in place and used including the working conditions and
equipment to be used. Here are some aspects, but not all inclusive, of the items
that need be included in a fall protection plan:
• End user training on the safe use, care and maintenance of equipment and
jobsite conditions prior to commencing work.

Instruction Manual
BUILT TO LAST | MANUFACTURED TO COMPLY | DESIGNED TO PROTECT
16
• Inspection procedures.
• Fall clearances and potential swing falls.
• Proper structure/substrate anchoring to withstand the minimum required
loads.
• A rescue plan in case end user or someone is subject to a fall.
Total Fall Clearance for PFAS: According to OSHA, the total fall clearance
distance is the minimum vertical distance between the worker and the lower
level that is necessary to ensure the worker does not contact a lower level
during a fall. The total fall clearance distance is calculated before a decision
is made to use a PFAS. If the available distance is not greater than the total fall
clearance distance, it is inappropriate to use the PFAS and a fall restraint system
might be used instead. Total fall clearance distance calculations are simple to
perform based on several factors, including but not all inclusive:
• Lanyard/Self Retracting Lifeline length which may vary depending on the
device being used and their specifications. See connecting device user
manual for more information.
• The height at which the lanyard is anchored relative to where the other end
attaches to the worker’s harness.
• The distance the worker will travel as the deceleration device absorbs the
energy from the fall (i.e., slows it down.)
• The worker’s height.
• D-ring shift and a safety factor.
Below are illustrations to help guide the user to determine minimum fall
clearances and swing hazards:

Swing Fall: The swing fall hazard is created by the pendulum effect, which can
swing a fallen worker into a nearby surface, such as a wall or protruding beam.
In addition to calculating the total fall clearance distance before beginning work
on an elevated level, it is important to evaluate the swing fall hazard at the edges
where a worker might fall.
A worker who falls while connected to an anchor (unless it is directly overhead)
will swing back and forth like a pendulum. Workers can be seriously injured if
they strike objects during a swing fall. Installing the anchorage point directly
above the work area (i.e., connected to an overhead attachment point with
sufficient strength) will help prevent injury.
