3.0 OPERATION AND USE
3.1 LAD-SAF SYSTEM USE: BEFORE EACH USE inspect the system and cable sleeve according to section 5.0.
™
Verify from the label markings that the system has been formally inspected within the last year. DO NOT USE an
improperly maintained Lad-Saf
detachable cable sleeve according to Section 5.3. Inspect the full body harness according to manufacturer's instructions.
Inspect the Lad-Saf Safety System according to Section 5.4.
3.2 PLAN your use of the Lad-Saf
starting your work.
•
Ensure the system is rated for the required number of users.
•
There are hazards associated with connecting and disconnecting from the system. Use secondary fall arrest
protection. Ensure adequate anchor points, landing platforms, or other means are available at connection and
disconnection points to allow safe transitions to and from the system.
•
A minimum fall clearance of 7 ft. (2 m) is required between the user's feet and surface below. The user may not be
protected against hitting the ground or landing during the fi rst 7 ft. (2 m) of ascent or last 7 ft. (2 m) of descent.
Use proper climbing procedures (e.g., maintain 3 points of contact with hands and feet) when ascending or
descending any portion of the ladder unprotected by the Lad-Saf
•
Use proper safety procedures when climbing. Do not carry tools or equipment by hand. Keep your hands free for
climbing. Secure carried items to avoid dropping them on climbers below. Climb within your ability. Long climbs may
require several rest stops during ascent or descent to avoid exhaustion. Use proper work positioning equipment for
rest breaks. DO NOT climb in high winds or severe weather.
•
Ensure only one user is climbing between cable guides.
