How to use the PMTO
The PMTO must only be used under the supervision of a qualified person who is trained in the use of this product in accordance with this literature. In order to meet the requirements of ANSI Z359.12, the PFAS shall have drawings and/ or specifications prepared by or under the direction of an engineer. Only use one PMTO per worker. Use an ANSI approved energy absorbing or self retracting lanyard (SRL) or other ANSI approved products with a MAF of 1,000 pounds. Do not use with any leading edge SRL devices (LESRL) unless authorized by the manufacturer. Prior to each use, the PMTO must be inspected for damage, cracks or other irregularities. This includes verifying that the shackle is securely fastened and swivels freely. Prior to each use, verify that the tag shows a purchase date within two years and that the Padeye anchor has passed the monthly safety inspection. If ANY irregularities are found, do not use the PMTO, take it out of service and notify the responsible safety personnel. If the PMTO is subjected to a drop load, it must be taken out of service and inspected by a qualified person in accordance with OSHA requirements. The qualified person must ensure that the PMTO has been installed, inspected and welded in accordance with AWS D1.1 or AWS D14.1. Ensure the metal attachment and structure are strong enough to sustain an impact load.
