3 The ABC’s of a Personal Fall Arrest System Three key components of the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) must be in place and properly used to provide maximum worker protection.
A
Anchorage/ Anchorage Connector Anchorage: Commonly referred to as a tie-off point (Ex: I-beam, rebar, scaffolding, lifeline, etc.)
Anchorage Connector: Used to join the connecting device to the anchorage (Ex: cross-arm strap, beam anchor, D-bolt, hook anchor, etc.) • Anchorages must be capable of supporting 5,000 pounds (22kN) of force per worker. • Must be high enough for a worker to avoid contact with a lower level should a fall occur.
MightyLite Self-Retracting Lifelines Rope Grabs & Vertical Lifelines Positioning & Restraint Lanyards; Positioning Assemblies
B
Body Wear Body Wear: The personal protective equipment worn by the worker (Ex: full-body harness) • Only form of body wear acceptable for fall arrest is the full-body harness. • Should be selected based on work to be performed and the work environment. • Ask for a Miller Harness Selection Guide from your nearest Miller distributor.
C
Connecting Device
Connecting Device: The critical link which joins the body wear to the anchorage/anchorage connector (Ex: shock-absorbing lanyard, fall limiter, self-retracting lifeline, rope grab, etc.)
33
Miller/FAS Custom Engineered Fall Arrest Solutions
34
Developing a Fall Protection Program
• Potential fall distance must be calculated to determine type of connecting device to be used.

Safety Awards Regulations & Standards
Individually, these components will not provide protection from a fall. Used properly in conjunction with each other, however, they form a Personal Fall Arrest System that becomes vitally important to safety on the jobsite and the overall fall protection program.
4 Four Functional Equipment Categories
Fall Arrest
Positioning/Restraint* A positioning/restraint system is used to hold a worker in place while allowing a hands-free work environment at elevated heights and/or restrict the worker’s movement to prevent reaching a location where a fall hazard exists. A typical positioning/restraint system consists of: • anchorage/ anchorage connector • body wear (full-body harness or body belt) • connecting device (positioning lanyard)
As a general rule, it is recommended that a fall arrest system be used at working heights of four feet or more. This system consists of: • anchorage/ anchorage connector • body wear (full-body harness) • connecting device
Suspension* Suspension systems are used widely in the window washing and painting industries and are designed to lower and support a worker while allowing a hands-free work environment. A typical suspension system would include: • anchorage/anchorage connector (anchor bolt, trolley, carabiner, etc.) • body wear (full-body harness) • connecting device (workline) • suspension device (bos’n chair)
Retrieval The retrieval system is primarily used in confined space applications where workers must enter tanks, manholes, etc. and may require retrieval from above should an emergency occur. A retrieval system typically consists of: • anchorage/anchorage connector (tripod, davit) • body wear (full-body harness) • connecting device (retractable lifeline/retrieval unit)
*The positioning and suspension systems are not designed for fall arrest, and therefore a back-up fall arrest system should be used.
Occupation/Application Legend Proper selection of system components is essential to worker safety. The occupation legend is intended to serve as a guide to assist users in determining which products are best for which applications. Look for these symbols throughout the catalog!

6 Easy Steps That Could Save Your Life: How To Put On A Harness
Sliding Back D-Ring
Fall Indicator
Lanyard Ring
• Sliding back D-ring with injection-molded, flexible Santoprene® D-ring pad, offers adjustability and enhanced comfort
• Fall indicator is a warning flag sewn into the harness webbing on the back
• Allows user to attach lanyard when not in use
• In the event of a fall, flag deploys to indicate that the harness should be removed from service
• Minimizes hazards associated with the lanyard hanging freely • Extra lanyard ring available on non-front D-ring harnesses for attaching two-legged lanyards
Not standard on Welder Harnesses
Not standard on Welder Harnesses
Front D-Ring
Side D-Rings
Shoulder D-Rings
• Used for a variety of climbing, confined space and rescue applications
• Most commonly used for work positioning
• Primarily used for lifting and lowering individuals, such as in confined space and rescue applications
Friction Buckle
Mating/Quick-Connect Buckle
Tongue/Grommet Buckle
To adjust the friction buckle, simply pass the webbing over the knurled bar and back down between the knurled bar and frame. Pull web end to tighten.
To connect the mating buckle, push the center bar buckle completely through the square link and allow it to fall into place. Pull web end to tighten.
The tongue buckle works similar to a standard belt buckle. Insert the loose strap of webbing through the tongue buckle placing the buckle tongue through the appropriate grommet hole. Then push the remaining webbing through the keeper.
1 Hold harness by back D-ring. Shake harness to allow all straps to fall in place.
2 If chest, leg and/or waist straps are buckled, release straps and unbuckle at this time.
3 Slip straps over shoulders so D-ring is located in middle of back between shoulder blades.
4 Pull leg strap between legs and connect to opposite end. Repeat with second leg strap. If belted harness, connect waist strap after leg straps.
5 Connect chest strap and position in midchest area. Tighten to keep shoulder straps taut.
6 After all straps have been buckled, tighten all buckles so that harness fits snug but

Miller Shock-Absorbing Lanyards extend deceleration distance during a fall, significantly reducing fall arrest forces by 65 to 80 percent below the threshold of injury. This ensures greater safety on the jobsite. However, when using a shock-absorbing lanyard, it is important to understand how to calculate potential fall distance to avoid contact with a lower level.
Calculating Your Potential Fall Distance

Velcro is a registered trademark of VELCRO USA Inc.
1. When using a six foot shock-absorbing lanyard and a full-body harness, first add the length of the shockabsorbing lanyard [6 ft. (1.8m) ] to the maximum elongation of the shock absorber during deceleration [3-1/2 ft. (1.1m) ] to the average height of a worker [6 ft. (1.8m) ].
Miller ® Body Belts
2. Then, add a safety factor of 3 ft. (1m) to allow for the possibility of an improperly fit harness, a taller than average worker and/or a miscalculation of distance.

3. The total, 18-1/2 ft. (5.6m), is the suggested safe fall clearance distance, the height at which you must attach to an anchorage to minimize the risk of contact with a lower level.
Miller ® Splat Indicator For a quick and easy alternative to calculating your fall distance, use the Miller Splat Indicator. • Similar to a plumb bob, simply attach the device to an anchorage or to the lanyard at the anchoring snap hook and lower the weight using the attached string. • If the weight strikes a lower level, then a higher anchorage must be selected. • If a higher anchorage is not accessible, a shorter lanyard or a fall limiter should be used.

34 Developing a Fall Protection Program
1
Understanding Regulations and Standards
Application of regulatory requirements depends on the specific location, industry and operations of the workplace. In the event of an inspection, the company will be assessed on how well the operation meets the regulatory requirements of each particular job. Employers should obtain copies of the regulations that apply to their work activities and begin a fall protection regulations file.
2
Hazard Identification
A well-conceived fall protection program begins with identification of all fall hazards in the workplace. As a general rule, any time a worker is at a height greater than 4 feet (1.2m), a fall hazard exists. Where a fall hazard exists, there are two acceptable options: (1) eliminate the hazard, or (2) provide protection against it. Ideally, it is best to totally eliminate the hazard. Since that is often not possible, however, other measures such as the wearing of personal protection equipment (PPE) are required.
3
Written Fall Protection Program
Following hazard identification, a written program should be developed specifying how to deal with each hazard. If standardized safe-work practices and operating procedures can eliminate the hazard, then such procedures should be specified. Where hazard elimination is impossible, the plan should state what fall protection measures are to be used, how they are to be used, and who is responsible for overall supervision and training. This program need not be elaborate, but should cover the basic elements of the plan. The program needs to be clearly conveyed and understood by all participants.
4 5
Product Selection
The employer must know the types of fall protection products that are available, and decide which would be most suitable for the workplace. Because all work environments differ, it is impossible for the manufacturer to determine exactly which fall protection products will provide maximum protection for each job. By understanding how fall protection products operate and knowing the differences in product functions, the employer can select products that are best suited for their workers. Training
All workers must be trained in the proper use of fall protection equipment before using any fall protection products. Workers must be able to identify potential fall hazards, determine which products to use in specific work environments, demonstrate proper anchoring procedures, etc. Employees must also learn inspection and maintenance procedures and the proper wearing of fall protection equipment.
Miller/Troll Training 35
Fall Prevention and Protection Training Training is an integral part of a Fall Protection Program. To maintain a safe and productive work environment, it is essential that employees working at heights: • Recognize fall hazards • Evaluate the risk posed by each hazard • Control the hazard through preventative or protective measures
No sales pitch! Just straight talk on the principles, procedures and field applications of fall protection
Miller/Troll Training
and prevention.

36 Inspection & Maintenance of a Personal Fall Arrest System To maintain proper service life and high performance, fall protection products should be inspected regularly! Harness (and Body Belt) Inspection To inspect your harness or body belt, perform the following procedures.
1) Webbing – Grasp the webbing with your hands 6 inches (152mm) to 8 inches (203mm) apart. Bend the webbing in an inverted “U” as shown. The surface tension resulting makes damaged fibers or cuts easier to detect. Follow this procedure the entire length of the webbing, inspecting both sides of each strap. Look for frayed edges, broken fibers, pulled stitches, cuts, burns, and chemical damage.
2) D-Rings/Back Pads – Check D-rings for distortion, cracks, breaks, and rough or sharp edges. The D-ring should pivot freely. D-ring back pads should also be inspected for damage.
3) Attachment of Buckles – Inspect for any unusual wear, frayed or cut fibers, or broken stitching of the buckle or D-ring attachments.
4) Tongue/Grommets – The tongue receives heavy wear from repeated buckling and unbuckling. Inspect for loose distorted or broken grommets. Webbing should not have additional punched holes.
5) Tongue Buckles – Buckle tongues should be free of distortion in shape and motion. They should overlap the buckle frame and move freely back and forth in their socket. Roller should turn freely on frame. Check for distortion or sharp edges.
6) Friction and Mating Buckles – Inspect the buckle for distortion. The outer bars and center bars must be straight. Pay special attention to corners and attachment points at the center bar.
Lanyard Inspection When inspecting lanyards, begin at one end and work to the opposite end, slowly rotating the lanyard so that the entire circumference is checked. Additionally, follow the procedures below.
1) Hardware – a. Snaps: Inspect closely for hook and eye distortions, cracks, corrosion, or pitted surfaces. The keeper (latch) should seat into the nose without binding and should not be distorted or obstructed. The keeper spring should exert sufficient force to firmly close the keeper. Keeper locks must prevent the keeper from opening when the keeper closes.
b. Thimbles: The thimble must be firmly seated in the eye of the splice, and the splice should have no loose or cut strands. The edges of the thimble must be free of sharp edges, distortion, or cracks.
2) Steel Lanyard – While rotating the steel lanyard, watch for cuts, frayed areas, or unusual wearing patterns on the wire. Broken strands will separate from the body of the lanyard.
3) Web Lanyard – While bending webbing over a pipe or mandrel, observe each side of the webbed lanyard. This will reveal any cuts or breaks. Swelling, discoloration, cracks, and charring are obvious signs of chemical or heat damage. Observe closely for any breaks in stitching.
4) Rope Lanyard – Rotation of the rope lanyard while inspecting from end-to-end for any fuzzy, worn, broken or cut fibers. Weakened areas from extreme loads will appear as a noticeable change in original diameter. The rope diameter should be uniform throughout, following a short break-in period.
5) Shock Absorber Pack – The outer portion of the pack should be examined for burn holes and tears. Stitching on areas where the pack is sewn to D-rings, belts, or lanyards should be examined for loose strands, rips, and deterioration.
6) Shock-Absorbing Lanyard – Shock-absorbing lanyards should be examined as a web lanyard (described in item 3 above). However, also look for the warning flag or signs of deployment. If the flag has been activated, remove this shock-absorbing lanyard from service.
Cleaning Basic care of all safety equipment will prolong the durable life of the unit and will contribute toward the performance of its vital safety function. Proper storage and maintenance after use are as important as cleansing the equipment of dirt, corrosives, or contaminants. Storage areas should be clean, dry and free of exposure to fumes or corrosive elements.
1) Nylon or Polyester – Remove all surface dirt with a sponge dampened in plain water. Squeeze the sponge dry. Dip the sponge in a mild solution of water and commercial soap or detergent.
