Ë-»® ×²-¬®«½¬ ·±²- ó Û²¹´·-¸

Three key components of the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) need to be in place and

properly used to provide maximum worker protection.

ANCHORAGE/ANCHORAGE CONNECTOR

The anchorage, also referred to as the anchor point or tie-off

point, is a secure point of attachment for connecting devices

and must be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per

worker. An anchorage connector, such as the cross-arm strap,

D-bolt or rebar hook anchor, is sometimes necessary to make

a compatible connection between the connecting device and

the anchorage.

BODY WEAR

The second system component is the personal protective gear

worn by the worker while performing the job. The only form of

body wear acceptable for fall arrest is the full-body harness.

Full-body harnesses are engineered to aid in the arrest of a

free fall and must be worn in all situations where workers are

exposed to a potential free fall.

CONNECTING DEVICE

The third component of the system is the connecting device,

the critical link which joins the body wear to the anchorage/

anchorage connector. The most important feature of the connecting device is the built-in shock

absorber. Whether the connecting device is a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline,

they are designed to dramatically reduce fall arrest forces. Rope, web or wire rope lanyards

being used for fall arrest MUST be used in conjunction with a shock absorber (i.e., Miller SofStop

pack).

Individually, none of these components will provide protection from a fall. However,

when used properly and in conjunction with each other, they form a Personal Fall Arrest

System that becomes vitally important to safety on the job site.

3.0 System Compatibility

The Miller MightEvac Self-Retracting Lifeline is designed for use with Honeywell-approved

components only. Substitution or replacement with non-approved component combinations or

subsystems or both may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other and endanger

the compatibility within the system. This incompatibility may affect the reliability and safety of the

total system.

3.1 Personal Fall Arrest System Components

Ë-»® ×²-¬®«½¬ ·±²- ó Û²¹´·-¸

*Please apply the recommendations in regards with the standards of the region where you use

the device.

*ANCHORAGES/ANCHORAGE CONNECTORS

• Anchorages must be capable of supporting 5,000 pounds (22.2kN) per worker.

• EN795

• Always work directly under the anchor point to avoid a swing-fall injury.

•When selecting an anchorage point, always refer to the fall clearance calculation information

provided with the connecting device to ensure that the anchorage point is at a height that will

not allow a user to strike a lower level should a fall occur. Remember that shock absorbers

will elongate when subjected to fall arrest forces (refer to the labels/instructions provided with

the shock absorber for additional details).

• Anchorage connector must be compatible with snap hook or carabiner and must not be

capable of causing a load to be applied to the gate (keeper).

•The only form of body wear acceptable for fall arrest is the full-body harness.

• It is imperative that the harness be worn properly. Visually check all buckles to assure proper

and secure connections before each use. All straps must be connected and adjusted to

• Fall protection connecting devices should be attached to the back D-ring of the full-body

harness.

• EN361

• Side and front D-rings should be used for positioning only. (Note front D-ring exception

above.); shoulder D-rings should be used for retrieval or raising only.

•Never attach rebar (pelican) hooks to a harness D-ring.

•Body belts should be used for positioning only.

*CONNECTING DEVICES

• Make only compatible connections.

• Use only connecting devices containing locking snap hooks or auto-locking carabiners.

• Connect in a manner that limits free fall to the shortest possible distance. [6ft. (1.8m)

maximum]

• Always visually check that each snap hook and carabiner freely engages the harness D-ring or

anchor point/anchorage connector, and that its gate (keeper) is completely closed and locked.

Never disable or restrict locking keeper or alter connecting device in any way.

• Make sure snap hook/carabiner is positioned so that its gate is never load bearing.

• The use of shock absorbers is required to reduce fall arrest forces. All Miller shock

absorbers, shock-absorbing lanyards, and self-retracting lifelines limit maximum fall arrest

forces to 1800 lbs. (8kN) or less.

•Never allow a lanyard/lifeline to pass under or entwine around the user’s arms, legs, neck or

any other obstacle.

•Do not tie knots in lanyards or lifelines, or wrap around sharp, rough edges, or small diameter

structural members.

• Do not attach multiple lanyards together, or attach a lanyard back onto itself unless it is

4.0 Operation

Retrieval Operation

The MightEvac retrieval mechanism is to be used only in the event of an

emergency. Do not use for routine hoisting of personnel or materials.

NOTE: It is recommended to pull out

several feet of lifeline and hold in position

before engaging retrieval mechanism.

Always maintain tension on the lifeline

while in retrieval mode.

Pull out on the plunger pin until the ratchet

handle pops outward. It may be necessary to

rotate the handle slightly to fully engage the in-

ternal gears. The plunger pin should snap back

into its original position when the gears are fully

engaged. The unit is now in retrieval mode.

NOTE: A rescue may be executed by

raising a person to safety.

TO RAISE: While maintaining light tension on

the lifeline, rotate the ratchet handle counter-

clockwise (CCW) to crank the lifeline into the

housing.

WARNING: Always ensure that the

plunger pin has returned completely into

the locked position when changing the

unit from retractable to retrieval mode.

Do not use the unit if it will not hold the

load while in retrieval mode.

6.0 Calculating Fall Clearance Distance

It is essential to understand how to calculate the fall clearance distance for each work

application to avoid contact with a lower level. Use the following calculation to determine

Required Fall Clearance.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The self-retracting lifeine must be anchored overhead to ensure the accuracy of the fall

clearance calculation and related information.

It is important to understand that other factors, such as whether the user is performing

work in a standing, crouched or lying down position and/or whether the user is work-

ing directly below the anchor point or at an angle, can affect fall distance when using a

retractable device.

The self-retracting lifeline fall clearance calculation assumes the user is standing. If the

user will be performing work in a crouched or kneeling position, an additional 3 ft. (.9m)

of fall clearance is required. If the user will be performing work in a lying down position,

an additional 5 ft. (1.5m) of fall clearance is required.

The self-retracting lifeline fall clearance calculation also assumes the user is working

directly below the anchor point, minimizing any possibility for a swing fall. In a swing fall

situation, the total fall distance will be greater than if the user were working directly below

the anchor point. In some applications, it may not be possible to work directly below the

anchor point. In such a case, the worker must increase the fall clearance distance to ac-

count for the swing fall factor. In any case, the worker must not be exposed to a potential

swing fall where contact with another object may occur.

The maximum arrest distance (free fall + deceleration) varies by retractable. Always refer

CAUTION:

Read all notes and re-

fer to all self-retracting lifeline fall

clearance diagrams and labels

to determine exact required fall

clearance for your application.

8.0 Inspection and Maintenance

inspections prior to each use. In addition, a competent person must inspect

equipment at regular intervals, at least annually.*

CAUTION: Always wear gloves when inspecting wire rope/cable units;

1. Device Housing and Parts/Mounting Bracket: Inspect the unit for loose fasteners and bent,

cracked, distorted, worn, malfunctioning or damaged parts.

2. Lifeline:

a. With the device in the mounted position, test the lifeline retraction and tension by pulling out several

feet of the cable and allow to retract back into the unit. Always maintain a light tension on the cable

as it retracts. The lifeline should pull out freely and retract all the way back into the unit.

If the lifeline does not pull out smoothly or sticks when retracting, pull all the cable out of the

housing and allow it to retract slowly under tension. Do not use the unit if the lifelines does not

retract properly.

b. The lifeline should be checked regularly for signs of damage. Inspect entire length for cuts, burns,

corrosion, kinks, frays, worn areas, broken strands or chemical damage.

3. Braking Mechanism:

The braking mechanism can be tested by grasping the lifeline ABOVE

the load indicator and applying a sharp steady pull downward which will engage the brakes.

There should be no slippage of the lifeline while the brakes are engaged. Once tension is

released, the brakes will disengage and the unit will return to the retractable mode.

4. Snap Hook:

Inspect the snap hook closely for damage, distortion, cracks, corrosion, or pitted

surfaces. The snap hook gate (keeper) should seat into the nose without binding and should not

gate. The gate locking mechanism must prevent the gate from opening when closed. The snap

hook swivel should operate smoothly.

5. Load Indicator:

Inspect the load indicator for signs of activation.

The load indicator is located in the swivel of the snap hook. The

swivel eye will elongate and expose a red area at the location

illustrated when subjected to fall arresting forces.

6. Retrieval Mechanism:

Ensure that the retrieval mechanism

and associated components are working properly according to the

operation instructions (see section 4.0 of this manual).

7. Labels/Markings: Make sure that all labels and markings are

present and legible.

UNITS THAT DO NOT PASS INSPECTION OR HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO

3.0 Compatibilité du Système

La ligne de vie autorétractable Miller MightyEvac est conçue pour usage uniquement avec

des composants approuvés par Honeywell. Les substitutions ou les remplacements par des

combinaisons de composants ou de sous-systèmes non approuvés peuvent nuire à leur sécurité

de fonctionnement réciproque et ainsi remettre en cause la compatibilité des éléments du

3.1 Composants du système antichute personnel

Une protection maximale du travailleur passe par la mise en place et l’utilisation adéquate de trois

composants clés du système antichute personnel.

ANCRAGE/CONNECTEUR D’ANCRAGE

Le premier composant est l’ancrage/le connecteur d’ancrage. L’ancrage,

également appelé point d’ancrage ou point de raccordement, est un point

solide d’attache pour le raccordement des équipements et il doit pouvoir

supporter 5 000 lb (22,2 kN) par travailleur. Un connecteur d’ancrage, tel

que la sangle transversale, le boulon en D ou l’ancrage de crochet de tige

d’armature, est parfois nécessaire pour un raccordement compatible entre le

dispositif de raccord et l’ancrage.

B. ÉQUIPEMENT DE PROTECTION INDIVIDUELLE

Le deuxième composant du système est l’équipement de protection person-

nelle que porte le travailleur durant l’exécution du travail. La seule forme de

survêtement acceptable pour la protection contre les chutes est le harnais

complet. Les harnais complets sont conçus de manière à faciliter l’arrêt

d’une chute libre et ils doivent être portés chaque fois que les travailleurs

sont exposés à un risque de chute libre.

C. DISPOSITIF DE CONNEXION

Le troisième composant du système est le dispositif de connexion, le lien

critique qui joint le survêtement à l’ancrage/au connecteur d’ancrage. La

caractéristique la plus importante du dispositif de connexion est l’absorbeur

d’énergie incorporé. Que le dispositif soit une corde d’amarrage à absorbeur

d’énergie ou un cordage de sécurité à rétraction automatique, il a été conçu

pour réduire substantiellement les forces mises en jeu lors de l’arrêt d’une

chute. Une corde d’amarrage constituée par une corde, une sangle ou un câble et servant de dispositif

antichute DOIT ÊTRE utilisé en même temps qu’un absorbeur d’énergie (par exemple : enveloppe com-

pacte SofStop de Miller).

Aucun de ces composants ne peut assurer à lui seul une protection contre les chutes.

Cependant, lorsqu’il est utilisé correctement et en conjonction avec l’autre, ils forment

un système antichute personnel qui devient une importance vitale pour la sécurité sur le

chantier.

ENTRETIEN

Le dispositif doit être tenu propre et exempt

de contaminants.

Ce dispositif doit être retiré du service si

une partie quelconque du système semble

endommagée ou ne passe pas l’inspection,

ou si le dispositif a subi des contraintes

d’arrêt de chute ou de sauvetage.

Ne pas tenter de réparer ce dispositif. Si le

dispositif ne fonctionne pas comme il faut

ou nécessite des réparations, retourner le

dispositif au fabricant de l’équipement, ou

au centre d’entretien autorisé par écrit par

le fabricant, pour les réparations voulues.
