6、ned). This shall be accomplished by utilizing a nylon cable tie secured around the device, to stimulate aworkers holding the device during a fall (see Figure 5).Note: Cable tie specifications: weather-resistant cable tie, PLT5S-CO; 450 mm long and 4.8 mm wide; 1.3 mm thick;loop tensile strength of 2
