WARNINGS – 

READ CAREFULLY SOMEONE’S LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

 

 

The building or structure for the anchorages should be assessed by an engineer, unless it is clear to a competent person that 
the anchorages system is structurally adequate. 

 

When installing anchor points all safety procedures must be complied with in  accordance with the current safety code/s of 
practice/s for working at heights. 

 

Recommended waterproofing for roof tiles: 

Sika Flex Co-Polymer Sealant

 

Recommended waterproofing for metal roof: S

ilicone Sealant

 

All  threads  must  be  coated with Loctite  prior  to  assembly. (IMPORTANT  NOTE:  Before  applying Loctite  243  use  Loctite 

7471 primer to activate the surface according to manufacturer’s instructions).

 

 

A personal energy absorber or a fall-arrest device with a personal energy absorber must be used to connect to all 
SafetyLink Anchorages and (or) Strops. 

 

 

MAINTENANCE 

 PERIODIC INSPECTIONS 

 

All items of equipment which are in regular use shall be subjected to periodic inspection and servicing. 
These regular scheduled inspections and servicing must be carried out by a competent person.  

 

FIXED LADDERLINK: LADDER SUPPORT BRACKET  

ALL LADDERLINKS MUST BE INSPECTED EVERY 12 MONTHS, INSPECTIONS NEED TO BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT 
PERSON.  

Procedures to be followed at inspection time: 

-

 

Visually inspect ladder support brackets for any signs of  deterioration or the protective coating being removed. 

(Note: 

LadderLink is made from marine grade aluminium and therefore should not corrode). 

-

 

Ensure  LadderLink  is  firmly  secured  to  the  structure  as  per  SafetyLink  Installation  Handbook. 

(refer  to    Installing 

LadderLink).

 

 

SAFETYLINK ANCHORAGES 

ALL ANCHORAGES MUST BE INSPECTED EVERY TWELVE MONTHS, INSPECTIONS NEED TO BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT 
PERSON.  

Procedures to be followed at inspection time: 

-

 

Visually inspect anchors for signs of deterioration.  

-

 

The FrogLink/TileLink anchor point has two energy absorbing regions and two stabilising joins which hold the eyelet in 
place during use. If these energy absorbing regions are expanded this will indicate the anchor point has arrested a fall. 
Similarly if the two stabilising joins have been broken this would also indicate the FrogLink/TileLink has arrested a fall and 
should be replaced. 

-

 

Visually inspect the CableLink anchor point for signs that it has arrested a fall. The cable will have tightened around the 
rafter and the bottom fixing point will be pulled out and the anchor will need to be replaced. 

-

 

The  eyebolt  should remain  straight,  a  bent eyebolt  will indicate  that  the  anchor  point  has  arrested  a fall 

(The design 

features of the eyebolt includes the ability to bend like a fishing pole starting from the top and working its way to the 
bottom,  enabling  it  to  use  up  energy  as  the  eyebolt  bends  whilst  lessening  the  force  on  the  person  falling  and  the 
attachment point).

 

-

 

Visually  inspect  the  components  of  the  anchor  for  corrosion,  superficial  surface  marking  is  permitted  while  deeper 
corrosion or pitting would require attention. 

-

 

Manually (by hand) check the eyebolt for rigidity and tightness, if the eyebolt can turn in the anticlockwise direction it will 
require attention. 

-

 

Visually inspect the rubber hat washer and waterproofing components to ensure it has remained sealed. 

-

 

Visually inspect the attachment component of the anchorage where practically possible. 

-

 

Visually inspect the parent structure for modifications or deterioration which might lead to loss of anchorage strength. 

-

 

Drilled  in  anchorages  such  as  friction  or  glued-in  anchorages  (ConcreteLink,  SandwichLink,  SpacerLink)  must  be  proof 
tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 Clause 3.1.2(g) as part of each inspection. 

-

 

A personal energy absorber or a fall-arrest device with a personal energy absorber must be used in conjunction with all 
SafetyLink Anchorages and Lifeline systems. 

 

IN ADDITION TO SAFETYLINK PTY LTD EQUIPMENT, ALL ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE 

WITH APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
