INSTALLATION & USE
1. The SafeWaze Rescue Ladder should be stored in a prominent location that is quickly accessible and
in close proximity to individuals working at heights. All employees must be trained in the location, and
proper use of, the Rescue Ladder (See Figure 1 and Figure 2).
2. After a fall event, the employee attempting the rescue must first ensure that the fall victim is conscious
and not injured to an extent that would inhibit their ability to use the Rescue Ladder. If the victim is
conscious and uninjured, the rescuer will obtain the rescue ladder from it's predetermined location
(See Figure 3).
WARNING: The individual performing rescue
operations must ensure they follow all fall
protection guidelines as rescue is peformed.
3. After obtaining the Rescue Ladder, the rescuer will attach the ladder to a suitable anchorage point.
The fallen victim's own anchor point can be used, or if impractical to do so, connected to a separate
anchor point. Ensure that the separate anchor point is in close enough proximity to the fall victim to
conduct the rescue. Connect to the suitable anchorage point by opening the top of the Rescue Ladder
Bag, and attach the top of the ladder assembly to the anchor point via the supplied carabiner
(See Figure 4).
WARNING: The anchor and structure must be

able to support 5,000 lbf or (22kN). Only use an
approved ANSI Z359.18 Anchorage

4. Once the Rescue Ladder is secured to the anchor point, the rescuer will drop the bag to deploy the
Rescue Ladder. The rescuer must avoid hitting the fall victim when dropping the Rescue Ladder
(See Figure 5, 6, 7).
5. Once the Rescue Ladder is deployed, the fall victim can begin climbing the Rescue Ladder to safety
(See Figure 8).
WARNING: Do not remove or disconnect any
fall protection equipment.
6. If the Rescue Ladder with Belay is being used (012-6042), deployment of the ladder is performed
in the same manner as the 020-6041 (See Figure 9, 10,11). Prior to the fall victim beginning to climb
however, the belay rope will be attached to the harness D-ring via the supplied carabiner. DO NOT
REMOVE ORIGINAL FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT! The user will then begin climbing to safety,
while the rescuer removes excess slack from the belay rope by pulling rope through the rope grab. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO HOIST THE FALL VICTIM, BUT ALWAYS MAINTAIN CONSTANT TENSION ON
FIGURE 4
THE ROPE AS WORKER CLIMBS THE RESCUE LADDER (See Figure 12). The rope grab is NOT to be
used as a controlled descent device.
