rescue. Tolerable suspension time in a full body harness is limited, so a prompt rescue is critical.

IMPORTANT: Use care when handling an expended Zorbit energy absorber. The tearing of the energy absorber material

produces extremely sharp edges.

RESCUE: With the number of potential scenarios for a worker requiring rescue, an on site rescue team is

beneficial. The rescue team is given the tools, both in equipment and techniques, so it can perform a

successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuers' proficiency.

4.3

SYSTEM REMOVAL: When no longer required, the HLL system should be removed from the job site. To

slacken the HLL, loosen the turnbuckle until tension is removed from the wire rope. Disconnect the HLL system

from the anchorages. Ensure there are no knots or kinks in the wire rope before storage.

INSPECTION

6.1

BEFORE EACH INSTALLATION: Inspect the Zorbit HLL energy absorbers, kit components, and other system

components according to these or other manufacturer's instructions. System components must be formally

inspected by a qualified person (other than the user). Formal inspections should concentrate on visible signs of

deterioration or damage to the system components. Items found to be defective must be replaced. Do not use

components if inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition. Record results of each inspection in the

inspection and maintenance log in section 11.0 of this manual.

6.2

INSTALLED SYSTEMS: An inspection of the HLL system by a qualified person must be completed after the

system is installed. The system must be periodically inspected by a qualified person when left installed for an

extended period. Periodic inspections should be performed at least monthly, or more frequently when site

conditions and use warrant. Inspections of installed systems should include the inspection steps listed in

section 6.4.

6.3

Annually: A Qualified Person shall inspect the entire system including the anchorage points. Inspect for

deterioration or damage. Items found to be defective must be replaced. Do not use components if inspection

reveals an unsafe or defective condition. Record the results of each inspection in the Inspection and Maintenance

6.4

BEFORE SYSTEM USE:

Step 1. Inspect the turnbuckle for damage. Ensure at least four threads are visible inside the

turnbuckle body. Look for any cracks or deformities in the metal. Inspect metal components for rust or

corrosion that may affect their strength or operation.

Step 2. Inspect the wire rope for rust, corrosion, broken wires, or other obvious faults. Inspect the HLL

for proper tension. Inspect all hardware (fasteners, shackles, wire rope cable clips, etc.) securing the

HLL assembly to ensure they are present and properly installed.

Step 3. Inspect the Sayflink Sleeve for excessive wear, damage, or corrosion.

Step 4. Inspect the Zorbit HLL energy absorber for extension or deformities. There should be no

tearing of the metal between holes in the Zorbit coiled section. Extended Zorbit HLL energy absorbers

must be removed from service and destroyed, or marked for training only. Inspect securing hardware for

strength and function.
