3.0 INSTALLATION
;
Installation of the Device must be supervised by a Qualified Person
1
. The installation must be certified by a
Competent Person as meeting the criteria for a Certified Anchorage, or that it is capable of supporting the potential
forces that could be encountered during a fall.
3.1 PLANNING: Plan your Device and how it will be used before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect
your safety before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations, and specifications defined in Section 2
and Table 1.
3.2 INSTALLING THE RESCUE-POSITIONING DEVICE: The anchorage point for the Rescue-Positioning Device must be
capable of supporting a 2,500 lb. minimum static load in the direction of operational pull. The anchor may be a tripod,
building structure, or other suitable anchoring point. The unit may be attached in the following manner:
• Through the top loop in the Rescue-Positioning Device housing using the connection hook. The hook
(A) can be connected directly to the anchor point (B) or to the connection sling which has been attached to the
anchorage via a straight loop, choker, or basket loop. See Figure 6.1.
• Through the top loop in the Rescue-Positioning Device housing using the connection sling. Use a choker or
basket loop to connect the sling to the Rescue-Positioning Device. Attachment can be made directly through the top
loop in the Rescue-Positioning Device housing using the connection sling provided. Use a choker or basket loop to
connect the sling to the Rescue-Positioning Device. See Figure 6.2.
• Rig the Rescue-Positioning Device system directly above the intended working area. If the Rescue-
Positioning Device is not rigged directly overhead, a swing fall situation could occur. Swing falls occur when a worker
swings and strikes an immovable object . See Figure 5.
• After attaching the Rescue-Positioning Device onto the proper anchorage over the working area, attach the travelling
pulley (A) to the personnel support device using a self-locking carabiner (B). See Figure 7.
;
An independent fall protection system is required by law (OSHA) when using this system during normal work
positioning operations. Do not connect fall protection equipment directly to the Rescue-Positioning Device system.
Fall protection systems must be connected to an independent anchor with a minimum tensile strength of 5,000 lbf
(22 kN), measured in direction of possible fall.
4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Fall Arrest System meet all criteria defined in Section 2 and that
a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the Rescue-Positioning Device per the ‘ User ’ inspection points defined on the
“ Inspection and Maintenance Log ” (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, do not use the device.
Remove the device from service and destroy, or contact 3M regarding replacement or repair.
4.2 BODY SUPPORT: When using the Rescue-Positioning Device, it is recommended that a work-seat or boatswain’s chair be
used. A full body harness should also be worn for connection to the independent Fall Protection system. The D-ring on the
back between the shoulders (dorsal D-ring) should be used to connect the personal fall protection system.
;
Do not use a body belt with this equipment. Body belts do not support your entire body, which may result in
serious injury.
4.3 ANCHORAGE: Anchorage connections shall be stabilized to prevent unwanted movement or disengagement of the Rescue
System from the anchorage. Verify the system connection by pretensioning the system before applying the intended load.
Anchorage connectors must not be attached to anchorages where such attachment would reduce the anchorage system
strength below the anchorage specifcations in Table 1.
Anchorage requirements vary with the fall protection application. The mounting structure on which the equipment is placed
must meet the Anchorage specifications defined in Table 1. A suitable anchorage connector shall be used for rigging the
connection of lanyards and lifelines to structural members. A lanyard shall not be connected back onto itself for use as an
anchorage connector unless designed for this purpose.
;
Anchorages used in fall arrest applications must conform to ANSI Z359.2. When an anchorage is used for both fall
arrest and rescue applications, the greater load requirements shall apply.
4.4 FALL CLEARANCE: Should the operator release the line while in the free mode, there must be sufficient clearance in the area
below to avoid hitting an obstruction or a lower level. Fall clearance is the measure of distance between a user and the next
obstruction below them. Before use of this product, the user should determine how much Fall Clearance is necessary to prevent
them from striking an obstruction should they fall. With the anchorage located directly overhead, it is recommended that a
minimum of 2 ft. (0.6 m) of clearance be maintained between the work level and the nearest obstruction in the fall path.
4.4 APPLICATIONS: The Device may be used in the following methods:
A. Positioning: In this application, the Rescue-Positioning Device is used as part of a complete positioning and personnel
riding system. Such systems typically include a full body harness, boatswain’s chair or work-seat, independent personal
fall protection system, and the Rescue-Positioning Device.
B. Rescue: In this application, the Rescue-Positioning Device is used as part of a complete rescue system. Such systems
typically include a full body harness or rescue sling, anchorage connector (i.e. carabiner, etc.) and the Rescue-Positioning
Device.
