This User Manual describes the Safewaze Mobile
SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System, an engineered
personal fall arrest system. When erected, used and
maintained as described in this manual, the SafeLink
System complies with all OSHA regulations pertaining
to personal fall arrest systems and can save the at-risk
worker’s life in the event of a fall from an elevated work
position.
The SafeLink System is the result of a decade of
development. It addresses the difficulties and limitations
of working at leading edges at the top surface of
buildings under construction, and other applications
where workers are required to work horizontally and
a fall hazard exists. At such locations, there are few
usable anchorage points and those that exist may have
severely limited strength.
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ERECTION, USE
AND MAINTENANCE PRESENTED IN THIS
MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED PRECISELY.
MISUSE OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Subsequent sections of this manual describe and specify
the components that comprise a properly installed
SafeLink System. What may, on the surface, appear to
be minor modifications to the SafeLink System can lead
to unexpected, significant and potentially disastrous

The graphics above provide an overall view of the
Safewaze Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System
being used during the deck forming operation. The
typical SafeLink System uses an overhead horizontal
lifeline connected to a Stoplink Brake supported by
aluminum posts, cross-arm straps and other approved
anchorages covered in this manual. The user wears
a full-body harness, and is attached to the overhead
horizontal lifeline with a Self-Retracting Lifeline
(SRL). Self-locking connectors must be used for all
attachments of the user to the horizontal lifeline. This
User Manual specifies the components to be used
and describes permissible variations to the SafeLink
System.
changes in the behavior of the SafeLink System. For
example, using stronger or stiffer components than
specified may cause the system to generate higher
forces to the anchorage points, causing the anchorage
points to be overloaded. Special field circumstances
may require custom designs or components. However,
any custom design must be analyzed and authorized by
a “qualified person,” as identified by a safety engineer,
before that custom SafeLink System may be erected.
State-of-the-art fall protection technology and the
Safewaze Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System
are still evolving. Safewaze is proud of its role as a
leader in developing fall protection technology and
is pleased to provide the most effective and practical
system available for the safety of workers. As new
equipment becomes available, as experience teaches
new lessons, and as new approaches are conceived,
Safewaze will periodically upgrade the SafeLink System
and update this User Manual.
It should be noted that the horizontal lifeline is
positioned overhead, which provides certain
advantages, including:
1. The horizontal lifeline should not constitute an
obstruction to the worker;
2. If an employee should fall, it is less likely that the fall
would pull another co-worker off of the elevated work
surface;
3. The total fall distance is minimized by providing an
overhead horizontal lifeline.
THE HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SHOULD NEVER
BE POSITIONED BELOW THE ELEVATION OF
THE DORSAL D-RING ON THE BACK OF THE
FULL-BODY HARNESS.

INSTALLATION—ANCHORAGE CONNECTORS 9
DO NOT USE A PVC SLEEVE THAT
DOES NOT MEET ALL OF THESE
REQUIREMENTS.
Installation of PVC Sleeve for
Aluminum Post
Cut PVC sleeves to 12 in (304.8 mm),
and cast sleeves into freshly poured
concrete of 2,000 PSI (13.8 MPa) or
greater. Use duct tape to seal the ends
of the PVC sleeve, preventing fresh
concrete from filling the sleeve. The PVC
sleeve must not be cast into concrete
within 3-1/2 in (88.9 mm) of any concrete
edge. When stirrups exist in the column
within 2-1/2 in (63.5 mm) of the top
surface, the minimum column size must
be no less than 12 in (304.8 mm) in either
direction. When no stirrups exist, the
minimum column size must be no less
than 17 in (431.8 mm).
PVC sleeve should be plumb and must
be cast to a minimum depth of 11 in
(279.4 mm). Ensure the PVC sleeves do
not float upwards in the concrete before it
sets. To help keep sleeves from floating,
punch a small air hole through the duct
tape on the bottom of the sleeve, and use
a vertical 2x4 in the sleeve, nailed to the
top of the form. This method will also help
ensure the sleeve stays plumb.
A sleeve should normally be placed at
the center of the column section. This will
minimize the tendency to split the column.
When sleeves are placed at the center
of the column section, and when column
ties exist in the concrete within 2-1/2 in
(63.5 mm) of the top surface (thereby
crossing the potential fracture surface),
the minimum column size permitted is 12
in (304.8 mm) measured perpendicular
to the direction of the span of the lifeline
system. When there are no such ties, the
minimum column dimension measured
perpendicular to the span of the lifeline
system is 17 in (431.8 mm). Sleeves
should never be placed closer than 3-1/2
in (88.9 mm) to any edge of the column
cross-section.
When possible, request that a column tie
be located approximately 2 in (50.88 mm)
below the top surface of the column pour
(Only one tie shown in Fig.1 for clarity).
The aluminum post is
7 ft-6 in (2.29 m) long.
With a 12 in (304.8 mm)
embedded sleeve to
support the post, the
height of the horizontal
lifeline is approximately
6 ft-6 in (1.98 m) above
the poured height of
the column. At this
height, the average
employee should pass
easily under the cable
and conveniently reach it to attach a
self-retracting device.
It is easier and safer to assemble as
much of the SafeLink System as possible
before raising the assembly to the elevat-
ed location. Generally, the horizontal life-
line can be attached to the posts before
inserting the posts into the column tops.
Final tension of the horizontal lifeline,
however, must always be completed with
the posts set into the sleeves.
Reinforced Cross-Arm Strap
To secure the Cross-Arm Strap, wrap the
strap around the concrete column at a
height of at least 6 ft-6 in (1.98 m) above
the walking / working surface using a
choker hitch. This is done by passing one
end of the strap through the other end
and cinching. Attach the Stoplink Brake
by use of a carabiner. Secure the other
end of the lifeline to column by tensioning
the line as required.
10,000 lb (4535.92 kg) Removable
Concrete Anchor
The Removable Concrete Anchor is a
reusable concrete anchor designed to be
used with horizontal lifelines. This device
is made for use with concrete columns
or walls with a compressive strength of
3,000 PSI (20.7 MPa). The 10,000-lb
(4535.92 kg) rating is in any direction up
to 90º when placed in concrete. Install the
anchor in accordance with user instruc-
tions. Attach Stoplink Brake by use of
carabiner to Concrete Anchor eyelet.
RebarLink
The RebarLink Bracket is to be installed
6-1/2 ft (1.98 m) above the working
surface. With the eye-bolt facing outward,

place the bracket face
perpendicular to the front of the
rebar, centered on the cage. Slide
the supplied cinching rebar bolts
through both plates and tighten
together with supplied wing nuts
so that the Rebar Link is tightened
onto the rebar cage (See Fig. 2).
NOTE: When using the RebarLink,
Aluminum Posts are not used.
FormLink
The FormLink Bracket must be
attached to the base of a rebar
cage. Receiver sleeve must face
the direction of tension in the
system. To attach the FormLink
Bracket to the base of the rebar
cage, place the front and back
bracket at the top of the concrete
base. Slide the threaded bars
through the holes on the front
bracket into the slots of the back
bracket. The front and back panels
of the FormLink Bracket must
capture a minimum of six (6) #7 or
larger rebar, two (2) with the front
panel and two (2) with the back
panel, with the threaded bars.
Hand-tighten all four (4) wing nuts,
then add an additional 1/2 in (12.7
mm) turn to secure.

INSTALLATION-STOPLINK BRAKE W/TENSION INDICATOR 11
Stoplink BRAKE
Connect the Stoplink Brake
to the anchorage connector at
one end of the system using the
supplied carabiner.
The end of the system with the
Stoplink Brake is the live end of
the system. The dead end of the
system is the end with the
Come-A-Long tensioning device.
ATTACH COME-A-LONG or
TURNBUCKLE
Install the adjustable end of either
the Come-A-Long or Turnbuckle
directly to the anchorage
connector.
ATTACH CABLE
Attach the live end of the cable
to the cable eye on the Stoplink
Brake using an approved
carabiner. Pass the cable through
the carabiner attached to the
Stoplink Brake and form an eye
using two fist-grip cable clamps.
Use a torque wrench to tighten
fist-grip evenly, alternating from
one nut to the other until reaching
30 ft lbs (4.15 kg-force) of torque.
Take the other end of the cable
and pass it through the eye of
the Come-A-Long or Turnbuckle.
Again, form an eye using two
fist-grip cable clamps.
Once complete, count the
number of threads from the end
of the nut on the fist-grip clamps.
Installers should always tighten
clamps to a numbered thread count;
this will eliminate the need for torque
wrenches. Spot-check periodically
to ensure compliance. Per OSHA
1926.251, 5 in (127 mm) of rope
is turned back and the first clip is
applied one base width from the dead
end of the rope. The second clip
is applied as near the eye loop as
possible.
TENSION THE SYSTEM
Initial tension in the horizontal lifeline
can be created using either the
Come-A-Long or a Turnbuckle.
Tensioning with the Come-A-Long:
With the Come-A-Long connected as
per the steps in the previous section,
engage the drive lever by pushing
the black plastic-covered spring (on
the handle) rearward and pivoting
the handle back and forth. To release
tension, disengage the drive lever
by pushing the spring forward. Pivot
the handle forward until the stop
lever is contacted. Continue to apply
pressure against the stop lever until it
releases and allow the handle to pivot
backward. Repeat this procedure to
release the load a notch at a time.
Tensioning with a Turnbuckle:
With the turnbuckle connected per
‘Attach Cable’ section, the tension
can be adjusted by rotating the frame,
which causes both eye bolts to be
screwed in or out simultaneously.
Reading the Built-In Load Indicator
The load indicator protruding from
the top of the Stoplink brake Tension
Indicator will show 3 labels to indicate
the amount of tension in the system:
green, yellow and red. For spans less
than 60 ft, stop tensioning once the
green label is showing. For spans more
than 60 ft, stop tensioning once both the
green and yellow labels are visible.
DO NOT TENSION BEYOND YELLOW
LEVEL
IF THE RED INDICATOR IS VISIBLE,
REDUCE TENSION ON SYSTEM.
SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap
With an approved carabiner, attach
the SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap
directly to the anchorage connector
eye-bolt that is connected to the Come-
A-Long. Attach the other end of the
SafetyLink Adjustable Safety Strap
directly to the cable lifeline, adjust it so
that it is taut.
Note: The SafetyLink Adjustable Safety
Strap is only required when the Come-
A-Long is left in-line with the system.
INSTALLATION—ALUMINUM POSTS 10
Insert Aluminum Post
Each Aluminum Post has two (2)
sets of 9/16 in (14.29 mm) holes set
4 in (101.6 mm) apart and at 90º for
the eye-bolts. Install eye-bolts into
the Aluminum Post.
Insert aluminum post into PVC
Sleeve, or applicable receiver
sleeve on the anchorage connector.
Concrete must have a cured
compressed strength of 2,000
PSI (13.8 MPa) for system use.
Aluminum post must be inserted into
PVC sleeve.

Swing Fall Conditions
Swing falls are dangerous and must be
avoided. Swing falls occur when the
anchorage point is not directly above the point
where a fall occurs. The force of striking an
object while swinging (horizontal speed of
the user due to pendulum effect) may cause
serious injury. In a swing fall with an SRL, the
total vertical fall distance will be
greater than if the user had fallen when
directly below the anchorage point. The user
must therefore account for an increase in the
total free fall distance. SRL’s provide greater
horizontal and vertical mobility than lanyards,
increasing the opportunity for swing falls.
Minimize swing falls by working as close to
directly below the anchorage point as possible.
To reduce the possibility of a swing fall, work
directly under the lifeline. Striking
objects horizontally, due to the pendulum
affect, may cause serious injury. When
working on beam soffits, swing falls
may be controlled by using anchorage
connectors that move with the worker
to a point overhead. When working on
deck soffits, swing falls are controlled
by keeping the anchorage connectors
behind the worker and by limiting how
deck centering (e.g., stringers, runners
and plywood membrane) are installed.
Whenever possible, consider installing
stringers and runners from the floor
below by use of “push-up sticks,” scissor
lifts or mobile scaffolds.

Type II Intermediate Anchorage Post (FS-EX2517)
Type II Intermediate Anchorage Posts
for Beam Conditions
When Mobile SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System
spans exceed 65 ft (19.81 m), or when a span needs
to be reduced to accommodate low clear-story
height work, the use of an intermediate anchorage
post should be considered. Temporary intermediate
anchorage posts are only permitted for use in beam
soffit conditions and the system limits the number of
users to one (1) as outlined: NOTE: If using standard
FS-EX5501-5 posts as intermediate anchorages, i.e.,
embedded in concrete, the number of users can be up
to four (4) per system.
Intermediate anchorage connectors may be added
to a system to help reduce the required clearance by
decreasing the length of the flexible horizontal lifeline
span.
The Type II Intermediate Anchor Post requires its
base installation to be secured to the soffit with four
(4) 3/8in (9.55 mm) x 1-1/2 in (38.1 mm) lag bolts with
at least two(2) of these lags into the runner beneath.
Only one (1) employee may be tied off to the system at
one time. Refer to Table 2 on Page 14 of this manual
for fall clearance values for a single user.
*FOR BEAM USE ONLY and is defined as a walking/working surface,
not more than 4 ft (1.22 m) wide.

OSHA does not have a specific regulation when it comes
to annual lifeline inspections. They only have a
general duty clause stating a company should follow
manufacturer’s instructions, which may include a
yearly inspection requirement. This means that OSHA
would not fine companies or individuals for a lack of
annual lifeline systems inspections. On the other hand,
OSHA does have very strict requirements that all fall
protection equipment must be inspected for visible
wear or damage prior to each use.
ANSI, however, does provide a detailed requirement
for annual lifeline inspections that is found in
code Z359.2 – “Minimum Requirements For A
Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program.”
Section 5.5.2.2 states that, “Fall protection and fall
rescue equipment shall be inspected on a regular
basis not to exceed one year (or more frequently
if required by manufacturer’s instructions) by
a competent person or competent rescuer, as
appropriate, to verify that the equipment is safe for
use. The inspection shall be documented.” The
following, as outlined by ANSI guideline 5.5.2.3, is a
list of items that should be looked for during annual
lifeline inspections:
• Absence or illegibility of markings or tags
• Absence of any elements affecting the equipment
form, fit and function
• Evidence of defects in, or damage to, hardware
elements, including cracks, sharp edges,
deformation, corrosion, chemical attack, excessive
heating, alteration or excessive wear
• Alteration, absence of parts or evidence of defects
in, damage to, or improper function of mechanical
devices and connectors
• Any other condition that calls to question the
suitability of the equipment for its intended
purpose
ANSI also recommends keeping written or electronic
records of annual lifeline inspections on file for the
service life of the equipment.
FIELD INSPECTION 23
All components of the Mobile SafeLink Horizontal
Lifeline System shall be inspected before each use
and annually by a “competent person”, as required by
the OSHA standards. If inspection reveals any defect,
inadequate maintenance, or unsafe condition, remove
from service immediately until a “qualified person” can
determine the need for authorized repair or disposal.
At least once each day before using the system, each
user should complete a brief inspection that consists
of the following points (as a minimum):
1. All components and subsystems of the Mobile
SafeLink Horizontal Lifeline System must be
inspected. Any equipment that has been subjected
to the forces of arresting a fall must be removed
from service.
2. Any equipment that has a deployed fall indicator
must be removed from service. All markings must be
legible and attached to the product.
3. Check the Stoplink Brake to ensure that no more
than 6 in (152.4 mm) of webbing extends from the
housing.
4. Cable must be inspected for kinks, broken strands,
