5.0 INSPECTION
5.1 FREQUENCY:
• Before Each Use: Visually inspect the full body harness, ladder safety sleeve, Lad-Saf
system installation, and ladder structure. Use the guidelines provided in section 5.2 to check
the system to the extent possible for attaching. Check the system label (see Section 8 and
Figure 13) to verify that the annual inspection is current. If the condition of the system is in
doubt, do not use.
• Formal Inspection: A formal inspection of the ladder safety sleeve, the LAD-SAF
installation, and the ladder structure must be performed at least annually by a competent
person other than the user. See Sections 5.2 and 5.3 for inspection specifi cs.
• After a Fall: If a fall occurs with the ladder safety sleeve or on the LAD-SAF
formal inspection of the entire system must be performed by a competent person other than
the user. A separate fall protection system (not the Lad-Saf
inspecting the system. See sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. Record the inspection results in the
Inspection and Maintenance Log at the end of this manual.
5.2 INSPECTION GUIDELINES - LAD-SAF™ LADDER SAFETY SYSTEM:
Top Bracket: See Figures 8 & Figure 9.
Inspect for proper installation (See Sections 3.3 & 3.4).
• Check for visible damage or corrosion. Look for cracks, bends or wear that could affect the
strength and operation of the system. Inspect welds. Look for cracked or broken welds that
could affect strength of bracket. Replace parts if defects are found.
• Check for loose or missing fasteners that secure top bracket to structure (bolts, clamp plates,
U bolts). If fasteners are loose, re-tighten to the torque levels listed. Retighten as necessary.
• Inspect carrier clamps (some models will contain a swaged on carrier lug in place of the
carrier clamp- see Figure 9). Cable should extend above carrier clamp 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) to 2.0
inch (5.0 cm). Adjust cable if amount of cable extension is outside of described range. Steel
washer should be present between carrier clamp and shock absorber.
• Look down the inside of the pipe and inspect the shock absorber for damage such as cracks or
splits. The bottom of the shock absorber should project out the bottom hole in the top bracket
pipe. Replace the shock absorber if defects are found.
• Inspect the cap that fi ts on the top of the pipe. Check for cracks or damage to the cap. The
cap should fi t securely onto the pipe. Replace if defects are found.
Bottom Bracket: See Figure 11.
Check for proper installation (see Section 3.6).
• Check for damage or corrosion. Look for cracks, bends or wear that could affect the strength
and operation of the system. Replace parts if defects are found.
• Check for loose or missing fasteners that secure bottom bracket to the structure. If fasteners
are loose, re-tighten to listed torque levels. Retighten as necessary.
• Inspect the tension rod assembly. Make certain saddle clips securely retain the cable. Check
torque on saddle clamps – 35 ft. lbs. (47 N-m). Replace or retighten if defects are found.
Cable Guides: See Figure 10.
Check cable guides for damage. Look for wear or damage to black urethane. Cable guides should
restrain the cable and prevent cable contact with the ladder/structure. Cable guides should be
placed approximately every 25 ft (8 m) or closer if required. Replace parts if defects are found.
• Check cable guide fasteners. The fasteners should the secure cable guide in position. Tighten
as necessary.
Cable and Cable Tension: See Figure 11.
• Inspect the cable for corrosion, kinks, or damage that will affect strength and impede the
cable sleeve from traveling on the cable. Look for worn or broken strands of wire. Inspect for
signs of abrasion against the ladder or structure. Replace the cable if defects are found.
