Working at Heights – Fixed Ladders

Inspect all fall protection equipment prior to use

Connect the sleeve to the “D” ring located on the front of your harness

Connect the sleeve to the fixed-rail or cable. Connect the sleeve onto the xed-rail or cable with the arrow pointed toward the top of the ladder

Once attached, climb up the ladder normally. The detachable cable sleeve will follow you as you climb.When you reach the top of the ladder, carefully disconnect from the ladder safety device to exit the ladder

To descend the ladder, reattach your “D” ring to the sleeve and climb down smoothly in a normal manner. Allow the sleeve to “lead” you down. Climbing down out of position will cause the sleeve to lock onto the fixed-rail or cable

If the sleeve locks, move upward slightly to release the sleeve.You must be attached to the ladder safety system whenever you are on the ladder

Before using unprotected fixed ladders over 20 feet in length, contact the Production Safety Representative
