NOTE
Lifelines
• The allowable angle of redirection of
the lifeline portion of the device at the
edge over which a fall might occur (as
measured between the two sides formed
by the redirected lanyard) shall be at
least 90 degrees.
• The potential for a swing fall must
be minimized for worker and lifeline
protection. The worker must never work
on the far side of an opening, opposite
the anchor point.
• Miller
Lifelines are specifically designed to
reduce forces to both the worker and
cable connection that extends beyond
a leading edge.
leading edge retractable include steel
decking, concrete and wood surfaces.
Despite the wide range of applications
for this system, surfaces in contact with
the equipment must still be evaluated by
a qualified person in regards to creating
premature wear and/or failure due to
excessive abrasion or cutting of materials.
• Miller
Self-
Lifelines may be used with horizontal
lifeline
considerations.
retractable must be capable of travelling
well along the length of the lifeline
and should remain perpedicular to the
worker throughout the course of work. It
is recommended that an on-site qualified
person evaluate the conditions before
installation and use of a Miller leading
edge retractable with the horizontal
lifeline system.
• Always ensure that there is adequate fall
clearance below the work surface and
that no swing fall hazards exist. Also
ensure that there are no obstructions
in the path that the lifeline may follow
should a fall occur.
• In the event of a fall, special rescue
procedures may be necessary.

means at hand to implement it when
