3M purchase code: 7100292449, model: 6100219

The DBI-SALA 3M Lad-Saf top bracket with D-ring 6100219 is the head of the Lad-Saf vertical cable safety system. Made of galvanized steel, it mounts at the top of a fixed ladder or structure with a bracket-and-nut connection and provides the upper anchorage point to which the lifeline cable is tensioned. It includes an integrated fall arrest anchor rated 1633 kg (3600 lb).

This product is a component, not the complete system. The pre-swaged steel cable, cable guides, bottom bracket and removable sleeve are ordered separately to build a functional vertical lifeline. An RFID tag with 3M Connected Safety ID assists equipment tracking and inspection.

How the top bracket fits into a vertical system

A Lad-Saf vertical cable system tensions a lifeline over the full height of a fixed ladder. The top bracket (this product) anchors the top of the cable and carries the fall arrest anchor; the bottom bracket tensions the lower end; the guides keep the line aligned; the removable sleeve connects the worker's harness to the cable and locks in a fall. This component provides only the head of the system.

Industries and applications

• Vertical access on fixed ladders and telecommunication towers.
• Construction, general industry, oil and gas.
• Roof access by fixed ladder and maintenance of structures at height.

Inspection

Before each use, inspect the bracket, D-ring and fasteners. Check for corrosion, deformation or loose fasteners. Any damaged component or one subjected to a fall must be removed from service. A formal inspection by a competent person other than the user is required at least annually, per 3M manufacturer instructions and applicable regulations.

Maintenance

Clean the bracket with water and mild soap, then air-dry. Protect the galvanized steel against corrosion and store in a clean, dry place. Do not modify the bracket or D-ring. Follow the 3M user manual instructions.

Strength requirements

The integrated fall arrest anchor is rated 3600 lb (1633 kg). Installation, structural anchorage and overall system capacity must be validated per applicable regulations by a competent person or engineer.

Complementary fall protection equipment suggestions

The utility lineman works on poles and fixed ladders exposed to the weather, often at great height. A wrong move or unsuitable equipment is enough to turn a routine climb into a serious fall. On this type of job site, he wears his full personal protective equipment: a Class L sternal-D-ring safety harness (FPH140321XXCALP) that keeps him facing the ladder, cut-resistant gloves (GS13GDSTL), safety glasses (YA12E93101), a protective helmet (TA82) held by its chin strap (TA14CS), a high-visibility garment (V136F) and hearing protection, earmuffs (OA111).

To build the complete vertical fall arrest system, pair this product with the other components of the Lad-Saf range: the Lad-Saf X3 sleeve (FPACC5000338); a flexible lifeline poids (FPLS5901583); a stainless-steel pole cable guide (FPLS6100136); the system instructions and label plate (FPLS6100252); an mid-cable galvanized or stainless cable guide; an intermediate cable guide for a galvanized pylon (FPLS6100430); and an end-line cable guide. Also plan a RollGliss R550 rescue and descent device (FPLR5503325) for controlled descent, and mark off the area at the base of the structure with a DANGER barricade tape (ECT3RE9).
