Webinar Questions & Answers
We apologize for the abrupt ending due to unexpected connectivity issues. We're actively addressing the situation to ensure a smoother experience in future webinars. Below are the questions and answers we were unable to get to before it cut out.
1. What is the difference between the PFAS and Ladder Safety System?
2. Are the VL and rail system generally supported by the ladder, or to other structure?
4. In the single line system, it shows an additional rubber base, which I believe is to keep the line from swinging. How would the traveler be sent down to the next person without getting hung up on that brace?
5. When using the VL or rail-based system, is it possible that they may not work due to a reduction in the rung to rung clear space?
6. What was the OSHA 1926 reference requiring PFAS on ladders taller than 24 feet? And is there an ANSI section also?
7. A fall arrest anchor has an ultimate load of 5,000. Is that also true for the connection point of a fall arrest system on a ladder?
8. What loading do the ladders need to be designed for? Do existing ladders need to be available to handle the shock load of falling?
9. What are the requirements for construction of fixed ladders? Does Kattsafe provide training for qualified installers?
