Edge Protector (Part SE-EP)
An edge protector should be used anywhere the SafEscape
lifeline may come in contact with sharp edges.
To install, first secure the edge protector by attaching the
carabiner on the safety line to a fixed anchorage near the edge
where the protector is to be used to prevent the edge protector
from potentially falling and striking a person below. Then place
the edge protector flush over the edge where the SafEscape
lifeline should be protected.
T-Bar (Part SE-TB)
The T-bar is used to help facilitate
the installation of equipment needed
to perform a safe rescue. Should
a fall victim be suspended over an
edge, the T-bar can be used to pry
the lifeline up slightly in order to
install a rope grab, edge protector, or
some other equipment necessary to
perform the rescue.
To use, first secure the T-bar by
attaching the carabiner on the safety
line to a fixed anchorage near the
suspending lifeline to prevent the
T-bar from potentially falling and
striking a person below. Then simply slide the flat edge of the
T-bar under the tensioned lifeline and shift the bar upright to
create space under the lifeline.
Rescue Rope Grab (Part SE-RG)
The rescue rope grab may be
used to secure a fall victim
suspended over an edge (by a
rope lanyard) to the SafEscape
Device. This rope grab is compatible
with 10.5mm to 16mm
diameter rope.
To install the rescue rope grab,
follow the steps below.
Step 1 - Open the latch and unscrew the locking thumbscrew
to open the device. Place the device on the compatible rope
lanyard with the arrow label on the rope grab pointing toward
the anchor point.
Step 2 - Close the device
around the rope lanyard, tighten
thumbscrew and close the latch.
Step 3 - Attach one of the
SafEscape lifeline end carabiners
to the eye of the rope grab and
proceed with hoisting.
5.0 Training
It is the responsibility of the user and the purchaser of this
equipment to assure they are familiar with these instructions
and are trained in the proper use, installation, operation,
inspection, maintenance and limitations of this product.
Training should be conducted periodically and without
exposing the trainee to a fall hazard.
NOTE: Inspection requirements for a SafEscape Device used
in training exercises must be followed (see 6.0 Inspection and
Maintenance).
Training is an integral part of our Total Solution in fall
protection, since no fall protection equipment – regardless of
how effective – can save an employee who is not trained in its
use. To meet this crucial requirement, Miller Training provides
the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve a safe, more
productive work environment. For more information on Miller
Training, contact a representative today: 800.873.5242.
