I.
Determining Attachment Point for Re-Direct Line
Note: The Re-Direct Application (Fig. 2) is used in conjunction with the Basic Application (Fig. 1)
1.
Determine placement of the ladder to reach the work area.
2.
Review the work area and determine if the lifeline will be near an edge or has the potential for a swing fall based on the
location of a suitable anchor for the lifeline (Fig. 33)
3.
If the lifeline is near an edge or has the potential for a swing fall determine suitable attachment point(s) for the Re-Direct
line(s) that will keep lifeline from an edge and prevent a swing fall (Fig. 34). Note: It may be necessary to use multiple Re-
Direct lines
4.
Once you have the determined position for the Re-Direct lines, estimate the approximate distance from the lifeline anchor
to the first position of a Re-Direct line attachment and install a P/N P9C6A-10-18 lifeline prusik in this location (see section I
below).
5.
If a second Re-Direct line is needed, estimate the approximate distance from the lifeline anchor to the position of second
Re-Direct line attachment and install a P/N P9C6A-10-18 lifeline prusik in this location (see section I below).
