Applicable Standards; System Requirements; Compatibility Of Connectors - DBI SALA Vertical Lifeline Instrucciones De Uso

B. FREE FALL: Personal fall arrest systems used with these lifelines must be rigged to limit the
free fall to 6 ft. (1.8 M) (according to ANSI Z359.1). Restraint systems must be rigged such
that there is no possible vertical free fall. See subsystem manufacturer's instructions for more
information.
C. FALL CLEARANCE: Ensure that adequate clearance exists in your fall path to prevent
striking an object. The amount of clearance required is dependent on the type of connecting
subsystem (rope grab, lanyard), the anchorage location, and the amount of stretch in the
lifeline. See subsystem manufacturer's instructions for more information.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Use of this equipment in areas where environmental hazards
exist may require additional precautions to reduce the possibility of injury to the user or
damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to; high heat, caustic
chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving
machinery, or sharp edges.
E. COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY: The lifelines must be used with DBI/SALA rope grabs only.
F. TRAINING: This equipment is intended to be used by persons trained in its correct
application and use.
1.3 APPLICABLE STANDARDS: Refer to national Standards including ANSI Z359 (.0, .1, .2, .3, and
.4) family of standards on fall protection, ANSI A10.32, CSA Z259.2.1, and applicable local, state
and federal (OSHA) requirements governing occupational safety for more information about work
positioning systems.

2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

2.1 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS: DBI/SALA equipment is designed for use with DBI/SALA
approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-
approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may effect
the safety and reliability of the complete system. See Table 1 for a list of lifeline materials and
the model number of compatible equipment available from DBI/SALA.
IMPORTANT: The type of lifeline used is dependent upon the application and compatibility requirements of
other system components. DBI/SALA rope grabs must be used with DBI/SALA lifelines.

2.2 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: Connectors are considered to be compatible with
connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their
sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how
they become oriented. Contact DBI/SALA if you have any questions about compatibility.
