RoofSafe Cable System
The 3M DBI-SALA RoofSafe Cable System consists of a 8 mm (5 / 16”) Stainless Steel horizontal mounted lifeline. The system
is fixed to the structure via 3M DBI-SALA RoofSafe Anchors. The lifeline may be supported at regular intervals by intermediate
brackets. The intermediate brackets help to reduce the loads in the event of a fall and allow for longer single installations.
The System offers both fall arrest and restraint capabilities. The System allows users to attach and detach at any point
on the cable and move over the Corner / intermediate brackets without interruption.
The Cable has a minimum breaking strength of 38 kN (8,550 lbs) and can span up to 15 metres (48.2 ft) between
intermediate supports.
The 3M DBI-SALA RoofSafe Cable System is designed to provide a facility to enable safe working at heights in accordance
with current regulations.
The System has been tested and conforms to the requirements of: EN 795:2012 TYPE C, TS 16415:2013 TYPE C, AS / NZS 1891.2
and is OSHA Compliant.

11.2 Positioning the 3M DBI-SALA RoofSafe Cable System
When positioning the 3M DBI-SALA RoofSafe Cable System there are two styles of placement to consider.
Work Restraint
A Restraint System is designed
to prevent a user accessing
risk areas (such as roof edges),
thereby preventing a fall.
Fall Arrest
A Fall Arrest System allows
access to a fall hazard and is
designed to safely arrest the
operative in the event of a fall.

Important Note.
Whilst all System installations must be designed
for Fall Arrest in case of accidental misuse, it is
recommended that the positioning of the System
should be located for Work Restraint. Restraint
enables a user to access their work area whilst
being prevented from gaining access to a fall
hazard and will reduce risk and mitigate against
the consequences of a fall.
