1.0 APPLICATIONS

1.1 PURPOSE: DBI/SALA Salalift winches are to be used for work

positioning (8101000 series only), personnel riding, material handling, climbing protection, or rescue and ev acuation. These winch models are to be used with a DBI/SALA tripod, davit arm, or other support structure, and may be used in situations where personnel or materials need to be raised or lowered 60-140 feet.

1.2 WINCH APPLICA TION TYPES:

A. WORK POSITIONING: The Salalift winch (8101000 series only) is

used to suspend the worker in a work position, acting as the primary means of support. Applications include suspending a worker in a work seat or harness. A back-up personal fall arrest system must be attached to the suspended employee.

NOTE: OSHA requires that manual or pow ered winches be independently

evaluated and classified for use as a single point suspension system. See OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926.451, and 29 CFR 1910.28.

B. PERSONNEL RIDING: The Salalift or Salalift II winch is used to r aise

or lower a worker to a work level. At the work level the worker is no longer supported by the winch. It is recommended that the w orker be connected to a back-up arrest system while being raised or lowered.

C. RESCUE AND EV A CUATION: The Salalift or Salalift II winch is used

to raise or lower an endangered or injured work er, or rescue personnel. Applications include permit and non-permit confined space entry work.

D. CLIMBING PRO TECTION: The Salalift or Salalift II winch is used to

protect a worker ascending or descending a fixed ladder or similar structure. It is recommended that this use of the winch be restricted to structures where other means of climbing protection; such as permanently installed ladder safety systems or personal fall arrest systems are infeasible. For this application, the following conditions must be met:

1. Ladder or steps are in good condition and allows for a straight, continuous climb .

2. The worker climbing the ladder is wearing a full body harness and the winch line is connected to the dorsal (back) D-ring of the harness.

3. The winch operator is trained and competent in the operation of the winch.

4. No slack line is allowed to develop when the worker moves up or down the ladder .

5. DBI/SALA recommends , for the 8101000 series winches only, that an energy absorbing lanyard be connected between the harness dorsal D-ring and the winch line.

1.3 LIMITATIONS: The following application limitations must be considered before using this product. F ailure to observe product limitations could result in serious injury or death.

2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

2.1 COMP ATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS: DBI/SALA equipment is

designed for use with DBI/SALA approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with nonapproved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the complete system.

2.2 COMP A TIBILITY OF CONNECT ORS: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact DBI/SALA if you have any questions about compatibility.

Connectors ( hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage. See Figure 3. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA.

2.3 Making Connections: Only use self-locking snap hooks and carabiners with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.

actoolsupply.com

DBI/SALA connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. See Figure 4 for inappropriate connections. DBI/SALA 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.

NOTE: Large throat opening snap hooks should not be connected to

standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on fixed structural elements such as rebar or cross members that are not shaped in a way that can capture the gate of the hook.

C. In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap

hook or carabiner catch on the anchor and without visual confirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.

D. To each other. E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the

manufacturer’ s instructions for both the lan yard and connector specifically allows such a connection).

Figure 3 - Unintentional Disengagement (Roll-out)

If the connecting element that a snap hook (shown) or carabiner attaches to is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. This force may cause the gate (of either a self-locking or a non-locking snap hook) to open, allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point.

1. Force is applied to the snap hook.

2. The gate presses against the connecting ring.

3. The gate opens allowing the snap hook to slip off.

Small ring or other non-compatibly shaped element

F. To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap

hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur .

2.4 SUPPORT STRUCTURE STRENGTH: The support structure to which the winch is installed must meet minimum strength requirements stated in section 3.4

3.2 PLANNING: Plan your system and how it will function bef ore starting your work. Consider all factors that affect your safety during use. Some important points to consider when planning your system are:

A. HAZARD EV ALU A TION: Ev aluate job site hazards prior to starting

work. Consult applicable OSHA and industry standards for guidelines and regulatory requirements on issues such as confined space entry , personal f all arrest systems (PFAS), and single point adjustable suspended scaffolds.

B. WORK SITE GEOMETR Y : The installation and use of the support

structure (tripod, davit arm and base) must be consistent with the geometric requirements stated in the associated manufacturer's instruction manuals. When suspending working lines from the support structure, check for obstructions or sharp edges in the work path. Av oid working where the user may s wing and hit an object, or where lines may cross or tangle with that of another worker .

C. SECONDAR Y OR BA CK-UP F ALL ARREST SYSTEM: When using

the Salalift winch (8101000 series) as a support for w ork positioning, a secondary or back-up fall arrest system is required. See OSHA 29 CFR 1910.28 and 1926.451. The DBI/SALA tripod and davit arm has provisions for connection of a secondary or back-up PFAS. See sections 3.3 and 3.5 (A).

D. RESCUE: A means of dealing with an accident or emergency must

be planned in advance. Response time can pla y an important role in the survival of an injured worker . Users of this equipment must be trained in emergency procedures.

3.3 REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONAL F ALL ARREST SYSTEMS: PFAS used with the Salalift or Salalift II winch and support structure must meet applicable OSHA requirements.

• The PFAS should be rigged to minimize any potential free fall and

never allow a free fall greater than 6 feet. It is recommended that the PFAS used with this equipment include a full body harness as the body support component. PFAS's that incorporate full body harnesses must maintain fall arrest forces below 1,800 lbs. and arrest the fall within 42 inches. Body belts, unless incorporated into a full body harness, are not recommended for use with this equipment. A typical PFAS includes a full body harness, connecting subsystem or component (self retracting lifeline or lifeline and rope grab), and the necessary connectors to couple the system together.

• Anchorages selected for PFAS must sustain static loads, applied in

the directions permitted by the PFAS, of at least; (A) 3,600 lbs.
