Applicable Safety Standards
When used according to instruction specifications, this product meets or exceeds all applicable OSHA 1926
Subpart M, OSHA 1910, ANSI Z359.18-2017, and ANSI A10.32-2012 standards for fall protection. This product
has been tested in compliance with the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.7. Testing only covers hardware and
does not extend to the anchorage or substrate to which this product is attached. Applicable standards and
regulations depend on the type of work being done, and also might include state-specific regulations. Consult
regulatory agencies for more information on personal fall arrest systems and associated components.

Product Specific Applications
Personal Fall Arrest: Concrete Swivel Anchor 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 free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if used in combination with
equipment explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: Concrete Swivel Anchor 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) is 130-420 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,
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.
Rescue/Confined Space: Concrete Swivel Anchor may be used in Rescue/Confined Space
applications. Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after
exposed to a fall. There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of
rescue. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at
least 3,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.
Work Positioning: Concrete Swivel Anchor may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with
both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side.
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing worker
falling directly in-line with anchor point. Always consider potential
swing fall and other hazards when calculating fall clearance.
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever
possible! If Swing Fall exists,
always account for additional
fall clearance.

Compatibility: When making connections with Concrete Swivel Anchor, eliminate all possibility of roll-out.
Roll-out occurs when interference between a hook and the attachment point causes the hook gate to
unintentionally open and release. All connections must be selected and deemed compatible with Concrete
Swivel Anchor by a Competent Person. All connector gates must be self-closing and self-locking, and
withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs. See the following for examples of compatible/incompatible
connections:

Labels
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.
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.
