Work Positioning: Truss Boss Anchor may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work

Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with

both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of

at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side.

Product Specific Applications

Personal Fall Arrest: Truss Boss Anchor may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest

System (PFAS) for use in Fall Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the

directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if

used in combination with equipment explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.

Restraint: Truss Boss Anchor may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent

workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length

of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system

of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces

with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.

WARNING

Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious

injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.

For all applications: worker weight capacity range

(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient

clearance below the anchorage connector

to arrest a fall before the user strikes the

ground or an obstruction. When

calculating fall clearance, account for a

MINIMUM 3’ safety factor, deceleration

distance, user height, length of

lanyard/SRL, harness stretch, and all

other applicable factors.

Diagram shown is an example fall

clearance calculation ONLY.

Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use,

make considerations for eliminating or

minimizing all swing fall hazards.

Swing falls occur when the anchor is not

directly above the location where a fall

occurs. Always work as close to in line

with the anchor point as possible. Swing

falls significantly increase the likelihood

of serious injury or death in the event

of a fall.

Guardian Fall Protection 6305 S. 231st St., Kent, WA 98032 phone: (800) 466-6385 fax: (800) 670-7892 www.guardianfall.com

Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing

worker falling directly in-line with anchor point.

Always consider potential swing fall and other

hazards when calculating fall clearance.

*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever

possible! If Swing Fall exists,

always account for additional

fall clearance.

Correct Anchorage Positioning:

This chart details allowable working zones required

to reduce risk of swing falls and improper side loading.

ALWAYS adhere to information specified by chart.
