2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1
COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS: This equipment is designed for use with DBI-SALA approved
components and subsystems. The use of non-approved components and subsystems (i.e. harnesses, lanyards, etc.) may
jeopardize compatibility of equipment, and could aff ect the safety and reliability of the complete system. If you have
questions on the installation or suitability of this equipment for your application, contact 3M.
COMPATIBILITY WITH CLIMB ASSIST SYSTEMS: The DBI-SALA Lad-Saf™ Safety Systems, including the DBI-SALA
Lad-Saf™ Detachable Cable Sleeves, are designed for use with DBI-SALA approved climb assist systems. The use of any
other type of climb assist system may be incompatible with the Lad-Saf™ Safety System and Detachable Cable Sleeves,
and could create a serious safety hazard for the user. Do not use non-DBI-SALA climb assist systems without fi rst
consulting a competent person and/or a qualifi ed person at your worksite for approval. If you have additional questions
about compatibility, please contact 3M Technical Services.
2.2
COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: (See Figure 4)
Use only supplied connectors.
Connect carabiner (A) to frontal D-Ring (B).
2.3
MAKING CONNECTIONS: (See Figure 5)
3M Fall Protection snap hooks and carabiners should not be connected:
A.
To a D-Ring to which another connector is attached.
B.
In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.
C.
To each other.

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.
