4. TWO 2 PERSONS CONNECTED TO THE HLL When a person falls while connected to the horizontal lifeline the system will deflect If two 2 persons are connected to the same horizontal lifeline and one 1 person falls the second person may be pulled off the working surface due to deflection The potential for the second person falling increases as the horizontal lifeline span length increases The use of independent horizontal lifeline systems for each person or shorter span length is recommended to minimize the potential of the second person falling E FREE FALL The personal fall arrest system must be rigged to limit free falls to 6 feet 1 8m or less when using an energy absorbing lanyard or such that the SRL is overhead without slack according to OSHA requirements F SHARP EDGES Avoid working where the connecting subsystem or other system components will be in contact with or abrade against unprotected sharp edges If working around 14 sharp edges is unavoidable a protective cover must be used to prevent cutting of the personal fall arrest system components G IN THE EVENT OF A FALL The responsible party must have a rescue plan and the ability to implement a rescue Tolerable suspension time in a full body harness is limited so a prompt rescue is critical H RESCUE With the number of potential scenarios for a worker requiring rescue an on site rescue team is beneficial The rescue team is given the tools both in e
