1.0 APPLICATIONS
1.1 PURPOSE: Personal Protective Equipment against falls from a height.
The adjustable Ladder Fall Arrest System (Ladder FAS) with Fall Protection
combines easy access to elevated work areas with fall protection from the ground
for the duration of the work being performed. Each unit includes two collapsible
masts. Each mast has an attachment point for the anchorage of a Personal FallArrest System (PFAS). The assembly can be moved by hand, by a forklift or towed
by a maintenance vehicle when equipped with proper accessories.
1.2 LIMITATIONS: The following application limitations must be considered before
using this product. Failure to observe product limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
A. ASSEMBLY: The ladder system must be assembled in accordance with the
requirements stated in the appropriate Instructions Manual for the product.
B. CAPACITY: The maximum working load for this product is two persons with a
combined weight of 310 lbs. (141 kg) per person (per attachment point; see
Davit, Number 12 in Figure 1).
C. PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEMS: Personal fall arrest systems used with
the Ladder FAS must meet applicable state and federal regulations, or CE
regulations, and the requirements stated in Section 3.3.
D. PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Use of this equipment in
areas with physical or environmental hazards may require that additional
precautions be taken to reduce the possibility of damage to this equipment
or injury to the user. Hazards may include, but are not limited to: high heat
(welding or metal cutting), acid or caustic chemicals, corrosive environments
such as exposure to seawater, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic
gases, moving machinery or sharp edges. Contact DBI-SALA if you have
questions about the application of this equipment in areas where physical or
environmental hazards are present.
E. TRAINING: This equipment is to be assembled, installed and used by persons
who have been trained in its correct application and use.
1.3 STANDARDS: Refer to national standards, including the ANSI Z359 family of
standards .0, .1, .2, .3, and .4, local, state, and OSHA requirements for more

MEDICAL WARNING: Working at height has inherent risks. Some risks are noted here but
are not limited to the following: falling, suspension/prolonged suspension, striking objects, and
unconsciousness. In the event of a fall arrest and/or subsequent rescue (emergency) situation, some
personal medical conditions may affect your safety. Medical conditions identied as risky for this type
of activity include but are not limited to the following: heart disease, high blood pressure, vertigo,

2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS: DBI-SALA equipment is designed for use
with DBI-SALA approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or
replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize
compatibility of equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the
complete system.
2.2 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: 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. (22.2kN). 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 2). Connectors must be compatible in size,
shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by CE,
ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA.
Figure 2 - 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.
Small ring or other
non-compatibly
shaped element
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.
2.3 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.
DBI-SALA connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specied in each product’s user instructions. See Figure 3 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.
