1.6 AFTER A FALL: If any component of the Connected Order Picker System is subjected to fall arrest or impact force,
remove the system from service immediately. Clearly tag the system "DO NOT USE". See Section 5 for more information.
2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1 RESCUE PLAN: When using this equipment and connecting subsystems, the employer must have a written rescue plan
and the means to implement and communicate that plan to users
site rescue team is recommended. Team members should be provided with the equipment and techniques necessary
to perform a successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuer proficiency. Rescuers
should be provided with these instructions. There should be visual contact or means of communication with the person
being rescued at all times during the rescue process.
2.2 SRD OPERATION: Normal operation of the SRD will allow the lifeline to extend and retract with no hesitation or slack
as the worker moves at normal speeds. If a fall occurs, a speed sensing brake system will activate, stopping the fall and
absorbing much of the energy created. Sudden or quick movements should be avoided during normal work operation, as
this may cause the SRD to lock up. For falls which occur near the end of the lifeline travel, a reserve lifeline system or
Energy Absorber has been incorporated to reduce the fall arrest forces.
2.3 COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY: 3M equipment is designed for use with 3M-approved components and subsystems
only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of
equipment and may affect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
2.4 CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY: Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when the size and shape of
either component does not cause the connector to inadvertently open, regardless of orientation. Connectors must comply
with applicable standards. Connectors must be fully closed and locked during use.
3M Connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each instruction manual. Ensure
connectors are compatible with the system components to which they are connected. Do not use equipment that is non-
compatible. Use of non-compatible components may cause the connector to unintentionally disengage (see Figure 3). If
the connecting element to which a connector attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where
the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the connector (A). This force could then cause the gate to open (B),
disengaging the connector from the connecting element (C).
2.5 MAKING CONNECTIONS: All connections must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. See Figure 4 for examples
of inappropriate connections. Do not attach snap hooks and carabiners:
A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate. Large-throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard-
size D-Rings or other connecting elements, unless the snap hook has a gate strength of 16 kN (3,600 lbf) or greater.
C. In a false engagement, where size or shape of the connector or connecting element is not compatible and, without
visual confirmation, would seem to be fully engaged.
D. To each other.
E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back material, unless the instruction manuals for both the lanyard and
connector specifically allow such a connection.
F. To any object whose size or shape does not allow the connector to fully close and lock, or that could cause connector
roll-out.
G. In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
2 User:
A person who performs activities while protected by a Fall Protection system.
3 Authorized Person:
A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed to a fall hazard.
4 Rescuer:
A person using the Rescue system to perform an assisted rescue.
