(j) “Snap-hook factors. ” (1) while not required by this standard for several connections until January 1, 1998, locking snaphooks designed for link with suitable things (of adequate power) are strongly suggested in place of the nonlocking kind. Securing snaphooks add a locking that is positive in addition into the springtime packed keeper, that will perhaps perhaps not enable the keeper to start under moderate force without someone first releasing the system. Such an attribute, precisely created, efficiently stops roll-out from occurring.
(2) As needed by 1926.502(d)(6), the connections that are following be prevented (unless correctly created securing snaphooks are employed) since they’re conditions which could bring about roll-out whenever a nonlocking snaphook is employed:
(i) Direct connection of the snaphook up to a horizontal lifeline.
(ii) Two (or higher) snaphooks linked to one dee-ring.
(iii) Two snaphooks attached to one another.
(iv) A snaphook linked straight back on its integral lanyard.
(v) A snaphook attached to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
(vi) incorrect proportions of this dee-ring, rebar, or any other connection point in regards to the snaphook measurements which will permit the snaphook keeper to be depressed with a switching movement for the snaphook.
(k) “Free autumn factors. ” The company and worker need at all times remember that a system’s maximum arresting force is examined under normal usage conditions founded by the product manufacturer, as well as in no instance making use of a fall that is free more than 6 foot (1.8 m).
