PURPOSE

The 999903 is designed for rescuing fall victims. Deploy ladder kit using the existing anchor or new anchor location. The ladder 
kit allows a capable fall victim to climb to safety while the rescuer pulls rope slack through the included rope grab eliminating the 
chance of a high impact secondary fall.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.      A user must qualifi ed to properly and safely use this equipment in normal and emergency situations. Users

 

          must have a physician ensure they are clear of any medical conditions that may aff ect the proper and safe use of  

 

          this equipment.

 

2.      Before using a rescue system, user must be trained in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29  

 

         

          CFR 1910.66 in the safe use of the system and its components.

 

3.      Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage must have the  

                                      

 

         strength capable of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at least 5,000-lbf  

 

         (22kN) in the absence of certifi cation. 

 

4.      The user shall be equipped with a means of limiting  the maximum dynamic forces exerted on the user during the  

 

         arrest of a fall to a maximum of 6 kN (1350-lbf )

 

5.      Use of this product must be approved by an Engineer or other qualifi ed person to be compatible with any and

 

         all structural & operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be connected to this  

 

         anchorage connector 

Improper use may result in serious personal injury or death.

 

6.      The rescue ladder system must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration. If  

 

 

         defective components are found the system must be immediately removed from service in 

 

         accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.

 

7.      The anchorage connector should be positioned in such a way that minimizes the potential for falls and the  

 

 

         potential fall distance during use the complete fall protection system must be planned (including all components,  

 

         calculating fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.

 

8.      A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue of users  

 

          in the event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.

 

9.      After a fall occurs the anchorage connector must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.

USE LIMITATIONS:

 

The Rescue Ladder system shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than 

which it is intended. The Rescue Ladder must be retired from use after rescue has been executed.

 

1.      The rescue ladder system is designed for single user, with a capacity up to 400 lbs (181 kg) including  

 

 

          clothing, tools, etc. 

 

2.      The rescue ladder system is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to +130ºF (-40°C to +54°C).

 

3.      Do not expose the rescue ladder system to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful eff ect.

 

4.      Do not alter or modify this product in anyway.

 

5.      Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall protection, work positioning, rope access, or rescue  

 

         system near moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as contact may cause  

 

 

         equipment failure, personal injury, or death.

 

6.      Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a “competent person” as defined by OSHA 29 

 

         CFR 1926.32(f ).

 

7.      Do not remove the labeling from this product.

 

8.      Additional requirements and limitations may apply depending on anchorage type and fastening option utilized

 

         for installation. All placements must be approved by an engineer or other qualifi ed person. 

Improper use may   

 

         result in serious personal injury or death.

COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS

The rescue ladder system must only be coupled to compatible connectors.  OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snaphooks from being 
engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and it must be “designed for” 
making such a connection.  “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snaphook specifi cally designed the snaphook to be 
used to connect to the equipment listed.  The following connections must be avoided, because they can result in rollout* when a 
non-locking snaphook is used:
 

• Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.

 

• Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.

 

• Two snaphooks connected to each other.

 

• A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.

 

• A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.

 

• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snaphook dimensions that    

 

   would allow the snaphook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.

 

*Rollout: A process by which a snaphook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or  

 

object to which it is coupled. (ANSI Z359.1-2007)
