Product Specific Applications
Personal Fall Arrest: GR11 Web SRL may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in Fall
Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum 2’ free fall (note: increased deceleration distance if free fall
exists). Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: GR11 Web SRL may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
!
WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
For all applications, worker weight capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment):
• Anchor at/above D-ring (24” max. deceleration): 130-310 lbs.
• Anchor at/above D-ring (84” max. deceleration): 311-420 lbs.
• Anchor below D-ring, max. 2’ (59” max. deceleration): 130-310 lbs.
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be
sufficient clearance below the
anchorage connector to arrest
a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When
calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 2’
safety factor, deceleration
distance, user height, length
of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch
and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example
fall clearance calculation ONLY.
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 significantly
increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death in the
event of a fall.

Safety Information
Failure to understand and comply with safety regulations may result in
serious injury or death. Regulations included herein are not all-inclusive,
are for reference only, and are not intended to replace a Competent
Person’s judgment or knowledge of federal or state standards.
!
WARNING
Do not alter equipment. Do not misuse equipment.
Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, flame, corrosive chemicals, electrical shock, sharp objects,
machinery, abrasive substances, weather conditions, and uneven surfaces, must be assessed by a Competent
Person before fall protection equipment is selected.
The analysis of the workplace must anticipate where workers will be performing their duties, the routes they
will take to reach their work, and the potential and existing fall hazards they may be exposed to. Fall
protection equipment must be chosen by a Competent Person. Selections must account for all potential
hazardous workplace conditions. All fall protection equipment should be purchased new and in an unused
condition.
Fall protection systems must be selected and installed under the supervision of a Competent Person, and used
in a compliant manner. Fall protection systems must be designed in a manner compliant with all federal, state,
and safety regulations. Forces applied to anchors must be calculated by a Competent Person.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the maximum allowable free fall distance for lanyards must not exceed 6’.
No free fall allowed for non-LE SRLs. Class A SRLs must arrest falls within 24”; Class B SRLs must arrest falls
within 54”.
Harnesses and connectors selected must be compliant with manufacturer’s instructions, and must be of
compatible size and configuration. Snap hooks, carabiners, and other connectors must be selected and applied
in a compatible fashion. All risk of disengagement must be eliminated. All snap hooks and carabiners must be
self-locking and self-closing, and must never be connected to each other.
A pre-planned rescue procedure in the case of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be project-specific. The
rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or provide an alternative means for their prompt
rescue. Store rescue equipment in an easily accessible and clearly marked area.
Training of Authorized Persons to correctly erect, disassemble, inspect, maintain, store, and use equipment
must be provided by a Competent Person. Training must include the ability to recognize fall hazards, minimize
the likelihood of fall hazards, and the correct use of personal fall arrest systems.
NEVER use fall protection equipment of any kind to hang, lift, support, or hoist tools or equipment, unless
explicitly certified for such use.
Equipment subjected to forces of fall arrest must immediately be removed from use.
Age, fitness, and health conditions can seriously affect the worker should a fall occur. Consult a doctor if there
is any reason to doubt a user’s ability to withstand and safely absorb fall arrest forces or perform set-up of
equipment. Pregnant women and minors must not use this equipment.
Physical harm may still occur even if fall safety equipment functions correctly. Sustained post-fall suspension
may result in serious injury or death. Use trauma relief straps to reduce the effects of suspension trauma.
