MSA Workman Anchorage Sling, 1.5m

The Anchorage Connector Strap/Sling/Cable is primarily a component of a personal fall arrest system, serving as an anchorage connector between the anchor point or anchor construction and the personal fall protection equipment, preventing the user from falling from a height, in accordance with EN795:2012 and Directive 89/686/EEC or Regulation (EU) 2016/425, respectively.

It may also be used, depending on the associated system components, for work positioning, travel restriction, rescue, retrieval, evacuation and confined space entry/exit operations, but shall not be used outside its limitations and intentions or for lifting purposes.

The Anchorage Connectors are capable of withstanding a force of 22kN without breaking.

The Thermatek™ Anchorage Connector Strap with a minimum breaking strength of 22kN uses a nylon wear pad to protect the Aramid Fiber from abrasion only; wear pad must be on the strap during use. (Figure 1E)

Check all connectors to ensure they are closed and locked before use. Regularly check fastening and/or adjustment elements during use. It is the responsibility of the user of MSA Anchorage Connector to assure that they are made familiar with these User Instructions and trained by a competent person.

Ensure that you have been adequately trained in the use of this Anchorage Connector equipment and make sure that you fully understand how it works. Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the Anchorage Connector.

More frequent inspections are required in these environments.

Do not use in environments with temperatures lower than -30°C and greater than 50°C. Use caution when working around electrical hazards, moving machinery and abrasive surfaces.

The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it; and that plan must take into account the equipment and special training necessary to effect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions. Assigning the Anchorage Connector to a user to allow tracking of Anchorage Connector usage is recommended. These instructions and record card should be issued with and kept with each Anchorage Connector. All components connected to this Anchorage Connector MUST be compatible.

Anchor devices are only to be used with CE marked fall arrest systems (EN 353- 2, EN 355, EN 360), which will not generate forces in excess of 6kN at the anchor device.

Instructions and warnings of components used with this Anchorage Connector MUST be followed. Good medical fitness of the user is necessary in order to carry out work at a height. Certain medical conditions can threaten the users’ safety during normal use of Anchorage Connector and in emergencies (taking medications, cardiovascular problem, etc. ). In any case of doubt, consult your physician before using. Pregnant women and minors MUST NEVER use the Anchorage Connector.
