2. Anchorage Requirements
All anchorages to which the Personal Energy Absorbers and Energy Absorbing Lanyards attach must meet the requirements
of ANSI Z359.1-2007:
Anchorages to which personal fall arrest equipment is attached shall be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lb. (22.2 kN)
per employee attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which
maintains a safety factor of at least two, under the supervision of a qualified person.
ANSI Z359.1-2007 states that anchorages in a personal fall arrest system must have strength capable of sustaining static
loads applied in all directions permitted by the system of at least:
(a) Two times the maximum arrest force permitted on the system with certification, or
(b) 5,000 lb. (22.2 kN) in the absence of certification
When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to the anchorage, the strength in (a) and (b) must be
multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
Anchorages used in controlled descent and rescue systems must be capable of supporting loads of 3,100 ft-lb. (13.8 kN) for
non-certified anchorages or a 5:1 safety factor for certified anchorages per ANSI Z359.4-2007.
Anchorages used in restraint systems must be capable of supporting loads of 1,000 ft-lb. (4.5 kN) for non-certified
anchorages or two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages per ANSI Z359.2-2007.
Anchorages used in work positioning systems must be capable of supporting loads of 3,000 ft-lb. (13.3 kN) for non-certified
anchorages or two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages per ANSI Z359.2-2007.
Anchorages should be located as vertically as possible above the user’s head and be positioned as not to exceed the
maximum allowable free fall for the system.
3.Connection Compatibility Limitations
All equipment must be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snap hooks from being
engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met:
1. It must be a locking type snap hook.
2. It must be “designed for” making such a connection.
a. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snap hook specifically created the snap hook to be used to connect
to the equipment in question.
The following conditions can result in rollout* when a non-locking snap hook is used. Avoid the following connections:
■Direct connection of a snap hook to horizontal lifeline.
■Two (or more) snap hooks connected to one D-ring.
■Two snap hooks connected to each other.
■A snap hook connected back on its integral lanyard.
■A snap hook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
■Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snap hook dimensions that would
allow the snap hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snap hook.

6
* Rollout: A process by which a snap hook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to
which it is coupled. (ANSI Z359.0-2007)
4.0 Fall Clearance/Clear Fall Charts
Clearance Requirements
Image 1 shows a shock-absorbing lanyard anchored overhead with the other end connected to the dorsal D-ring of a full
body harness. Note that the length of your shock-absorbing lanyard in relation to where it is attached is directly related to
the amount of fall clearance that you will need. When using a shock-absorbing lanyard, include the following distances in
your calculations:
Using the 6 Foot Hailo Wind Systems Shock-Absorbing Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of approximately 18 feet
(5.5 meters) as measured from the anchorage point of lanyard to the nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance
combines the sum of the length of the lanyard, the maximum elongation of the lanyard (4 feet or 1.2 meters), the average
distance between the worker’s dorsal D-ring (5 feet or 1.5 meters), and the safety factor (3 feet or 0.9 meters).
Using an extended free fall (12 foot) Hailo Wind Systems Shock Absorbing Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of
approximately 20 feet (6.1 meters) when anchored at foot level and measured from the anchorage point of lanyard to the
nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance combines the sum of the length of the lanyard, free fall distance, the
maximum elongation of the lanyard (5 feet or 1.5 meters), the average distance between the worker’s dorsal D-ring, (5 feet
or 1.5 meters), and the safety factor (3 feet or 0.9 meters).

7
Swing Fall
To minimize the possibility of a swing fall, work as directly under the anchorage connector as possible. Striking objects
horizontally, due to the pendulum effect, may cause serious injury. Swing falls also increase the vertical fall distance of a
worker, compared to a fall directly below the anchorage connector. Swing falls may be reduced by using overhead
anchorage connectors that move with the worker.

8
5.0 Attachment Points
A: Chest D-ring are used for ladder climbing & rescue only, please always restrict the free fall distance less than 2 feet
( 0.6m ). Chest D-ring is not for fall arrest.
B:Hip D-rings are used for positioning and restraint systems. Always use both hip D-ring connections when securing work
positioning devices. Hip D-rings are not for fall arrest or climbing applications.
C: Front D-ring is used for positioning and restraint systems.
D: The dorsal (back) D-ring affixed to all Hailo Wind Systems Full Body Harnesses is for fall arrest or restraint systems. The
dorsal D-ring may also be used for rescue applications.

9
6.0 Donning
Note: Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. No load indicators shall be deployed.
Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must be immediately removed from service.
Fitting an Hailo Wind Systems Full Body Harness
Follow step from 1 to 8 for wearing harness.
Step 1: Hold the harness by the dorsal D-ring and shake to allow any tangled straps to fall into place.as shown in Fig. 1
Step 2: Unbuckle chest, leg and waist straps. If the harness has a belt, unbuckle it too.
Step 3: Slip the straps over the shoulders, so the back D-ring is located in the middle of the back between shoulder blades.
Step 4: Connect the chest strap and position in the mid chest area, then tighten shoulder straps.
Step 5: Pull harness up or down at the back so waist belt sits on the upper hip and connect belt buckles.
Step 6: Pull the end of one leg strap between the legs and secure to the opposite end.
Repeat this step with the other leg. If harness has a belt, connect that after the leg straps.
Step 7: After all the buckles have been connected, adjust so that the harness fits snug, but allows a full range of
movement.
Step 8: Use the back D-ring or the front anchor point joined together by a connector as anchor point for fall arrest systems.
To locate the anchor points on the harness, check for the “A” marking near them.

10
7.0 Training
Employers are responsible for providing training to any employee who may be exposed to fall hazards. Training will enable an
employee to recognize and reduce fall hazards. Training must be conducted by a Competent or Qualified Person. Trainer and
trainees must not be exposed to fall hazards during the training course.
8.0 Inspection
Frequency
Hailo Wind Systems Full Body Harnesses must be inspected prior to each use and annually by an “Competent Person” other than the
user.
To Inspect Webbing
Bend a portion of the webbing 15-20 cm into an upside-down ‘U’ shape. Continue along all webbing inspecting for tears, cuts, fraying,
abrasion, discoloration, burns, holes, mold, pulled or broken stitches, or other signs of wear and damage.
Adjust all keepers, buckles, padding, and D-ring to inspect webbing hidden by these components.
Sewn terminations must be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged.

11
Check all buckles for damage, distortion, cracks, breaks, and rough or sharp edges. Inspect for any unusual wear, frayed or cut fibers, or
broken stitching of the buckle attachments. Make sure buckles properly engage.
Ensure that the Quick-Connect buckle’s dual-tab release mechanism is free of debris and engages properly. Double-check the buckle
locking mechanism by tugging on both halves of the buckle to make sure it is firmly connected and will not disengage.
All markings must be legible and attached to the product.
