Rigging a first-worker-up fall protection system generally follows a pre-determined sequence of steps:
- To identify a suitable anchor point;
- To attach a temporary anchorage connecting component, such as an anchor strap, using a remote connecting device;
- To attach the connecting lanyard or self-retracting lanyard of the personal fall arrest system to the temporary anchorage connector;
- To connect the lanyard or self-retracting lanyard to the body support harness; and
- To verify that all conncections are secure before ascending.
