Be sure to consult Section 5 of this instruction manual for details on
anchorage considerations, as the anchorage and its relationship to the
walking/working surface will be an important factor in determining

anchor point that is not properly rated could lead to a catastrophic failure
of your personal fall arrest system, which may result in serious injury or
death.
