To reduce the risks associated with working with a Flexible Cable/Rigid Rail System which, if not avoided, could result
in serious injury or death:
-
Inspect all components of the system before each use, at least annually, and after any fall event. Inspect in accordance with the
Product Instructions.
-
If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition in a component of the system, remove the component from service and
destroy it.
-
Any Flexible Cable/Rigid Rail System that has been subject to fall arrest or impact force must be immediately removed from
service and all components must be inspected by a Competent Person prior to being used again.
-
Do not connect to the system while it is being installed.
-
Ensure the system is appropriately rated for the number of simultaneous users.
-
When unpacking the cable it may rapidly uncoil. Use proper safety procedures and appropriate personal protective equipment
when unpacking cable.
-
Only use approved connectors to attach body harness to the system. Do not use any additional connecting devices.

climbing technique.
-
Ensure that fall protection systems/subsystems assembled from components made by different manufacturers are compatible
and meet the requirements of applicable standards, including the ANSI Z359 or other applicable fall protection codes, standards,
or requirements. Always consult a Competent and/or Qualified Person before using these systems.
•
To reduce the risks associated with working at height which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death:
-
Ensure your health and physical condition allow you to safely withstand all of the forces associated with working at height.
Consult with your doctor if you have any questions regarding your ability to use this equipment.
-
Never exceed allowable capacity of your fall protection equipment.
-
Never exceed maximum free fall distance of your fall protection equipment.
-
Do not use any fall protection equipment that fails pre-use or other scheduled inspections, or if you have concerns about the use
or suitability of the equipment for your application. Contact 3M Technical Services with any questions.
-
Some subsystem and component combinations may interfere with the operation of this equipment. Only use compatible
connections. Consult 3M prior to using this equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described
in the User Instructions.
-
Use extra precautions when working around moving machinery (e.g. top drive of oil rigs), electrical hazards, extreme
temperatures, chemical hazards, explosive or toxic gases, sharp edges, or below overhead materials that could fall onto you or
your fall protection equipment.
-
Use Arc Flash or Hot Works devices when working in high heat environments.
-
Avoid surfaces and objects that can damage the user or equipment.
-
Ensure there is adequate fall clearance when working at height.
-
Never modify or alter your fall protection equipment. Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M may make repairs to the

-
Prior to use of fall protection equipment, ensure a rescue plan is in place which allows for prompt rescue if a fall incident occurs.
-
If a fall event occurs, immediately seek medical attention for the worker who has fallen.
-
Do not use a body belt for fall arrest applications. Use only a Full Body Harness.
-
Minimize swing falls by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
-
If training with this device, a secondary fall protection system must be utilized in a manner that does not expose the trainee to
an unintended fall hazard.
-
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when installing, using, or inspecting the device/system.
