SRD Instruction Manual
x
All synthetic material must be protected from slag, hot sparks, open flames, or other heat
sources. The use of heat resistant materials is recommended in these applications.
Connector Compatibility Limitations
Malta Dynamics equipment must be coupled only to compatible connectors that are suitable to
your application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Ensure all
connectors are fully closed and locked. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits the use of snap
hooks to engage to objects unless the following requirements are met:
x
Snap hook must be a locking type snap hook.
x
Snap hook must be explicitly designed for such a connection. “Designed for” means that the
manufacturer of the snap hook specifically created the snap hook to be used to connect to
the equipment in question.
Use of a non-locking snap hook can result in rollout (a process by which a snap hook or
carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to which it is coupled.
ANSI Z359.0- 2007).
Malta Dynamics connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to
be used only as specified in each product’s user’s instructions.
Avoid the following types of connections:
x
Connection of two (or more) snap hooks or carabiners to one D-ring.
x
Connection of a snap hook back to its integral lanyard.
x
Direct connection of a snap hook to horizontal lifeline.
x
Connection in a manner that results in a load on the gate. NOTE
: Large throat opening snap
hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects
, as such use
will
result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks
are designed for use on structural elements such as rebar or cross members that are not
shaped in such a way that
they may
capture the gate of the hook.
x
False engagement connections, where protruding features of the snap hook or carabiner
may catch on the anchor and seem to be fully engaged to the anchor point. Always confirm
engagement.
x
Connection to snap hooks or carabiners.
x
Direct connection to webbing lanyard, webbing loop, rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the
manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and connector specifically allow such a
connection).
x
Connection of a snap hook to a D-ring, rebar, or other connection point of improper
dimensions in relation to the snap hook dimensions or configurations that could cause the
snap hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snap hook, or such that
snap
hook or carabiner will not fully close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
