Do Not Use to Connect to: the fall arrester of a permanent climbing protection system. Use for Fall Arrest Systems of (LANYARD CONNECTING SUBSYSTEM) & (SELF-RETRACTING LANYARD CONNECTING SUBSYSTEM), Fall Arrestor System of (Rope Grab), Restraint, Personnel-riding, Rescue, Evacuation. By MSA 506308

SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS; The Carabiner is one component of multi-component systems. Without the other necessary components, the Carabiner serves no useful purpose. There are several different types of systems for use at heights and in confined spaces. The Carabiner is designed for use by one person with a combined total weight no greater than 310 lbs (140 kg), including clothing, tools, and other user-borne objects. All carabiners have a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs.

SYSTEM TYPES;

Systems are classified according to their intended purposes. There are six classifications of systems which may be used individually or in combinations. The six basic systems classifications are: Fall Arrest, Personnel-riding, Evacuation, Climbing protection, Restraint, Rescue. Fall Arrest Systems; A fall arrest system is an assembly of components and subsystems, including the necessary connectors, used to arrest the user in a fall from a working height and suspend the user until rescue can be effected. A fall arrest system must always include a harness and connecting means between the harness and an anchorage or anchorage connector. Such connecting means may consist of a lanyard, energy (shock) absorber, fall arrester (rope grab), lifeline, self-retracting lanyard or suitable combinations of these.
