4. Installers must possess valid industry licenses, be appropriately trained, and comply with all relevant OH&S legislation during installation of this product.

5. Ensure support structure to which unit is attached, will sustain necessary design loads. (Prior approval may be required from a qualified engineer unless it is clear to a competent person that the structure is adequate.)

6. Do not modify or remove any existing structural component or product without prior authorisation by manufacturer or qualified Engineer.

7. Appropriate temporary access and safety equipment must be used during installation, such as platform ladders or scaffolding and fall protection anchorage points.

8. In case of emergency/rescue, unit must be installed by a minimum of two persons.

9. Do not tamper with, modify or remove any part of unit unless authorised by a responsible person.

10. All Sayfa products and systems must only be installed by competent and Sayfa accredited persons.

5

LIMITATIONS

Sayfa recommends that persons using fall arrest systems do not work alone in case emergency rescue and help is required. Should any part of the system/equipment have been subjected to abnormal loading, use must be discontinued until replaced/recertified by a competent height safety inspector.


1. The Katt ladder support bracket is suitable for single (1) person use.

2. Only to be used by competent persons with proof of training by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in the use of height safety and fall protection systems.

3. Portable ladder must be supported on a firm, level surface capable of withstanding 150kg.

4. Portable ladder must extend a minimum of 900mm above the roof surface to assist exiting the ladder safely onto the roof.

5. It is recommended that the ladder be secured to the ladder bracket using a tie off strap to prevent the ladder being removed whilst in use.

6. Do not tamper with system components.

7. This system is not to be used for tethering or lifting machinery or equipment.

8. The safety system must be recertified by a competent height safety inspector as recommended: - Non corrosive/mild environment – 12 monthly - Corrosive/harsh environment – 6 monthly (more frequent inspection may be required)

DESIGN & LAYOUT


• The hierarchy of risk control must be followed at all times. It is important to note that the lower the hierarchy of control, the greater the skill of the operator required and therefore is least preferred compared with a higher hierarchy requiring minimal operator skill and less risk of operator injury as a result of incompetence.

• Professional guidance on the design and set out of this system should be obtained prior to installation.

• Certain environments produce acidic atmospheric conditions which are detrimental to steel structures and surfaces. Any acidic environment must be assessed and certified by persons prior to installation of this system.

• Sayfa recommend that a ladder support bracket is not used above 4000mm due to the instability of a portable ladder above this height.

• The ladder support bracket must be positioned to allow the operator to exit onto the safe zone of the roof, at least 2500mm away from a fall edge.

• Sayfa recommend that an anchor point with a connecting strop be installed at the ladder bracket allowing the operator to connect to the strop via a harness with lanyard prior to exiting the ladder.

• The ladder bracket should not be positioned within the vicinity of any pedestrian access doors to avoid collision with the ladder.

• The ladder bracket should be positioned to allow a 1 in 4 (75˚) inlcine of the ladder

This document does not in any way replace the full Australian Standard document AS/NZS 1657-2013 which should be read and properly understood prior to installation of this system.

Sayfa recommends that the entry point to a roof should be positioned to provide the shortest route to all locations on the roof.

Where the operator is required to be constantly attached to the fall arrest system and the lengths of the travel is beyond 15m, Sayfa recommends that additional access points be provided rather than increasing the rope lanyard length which will become heavy and cumbersome to use.
