to raise or lower an endangered or injured worker, or rescue
personnel. Applications include permit and non-permit confined

D. CLIMBING PROTECTION: The Salalift or Salalift II winch is used to
protect a worker ascending or descending a fixed ladder or similar

systems are infeasible. For this application, the following conditions
must be met:

continuous climb.
2. The worker climbing the ladder is wearing a full body harness and
the winch line is connected to the dorsal (back) D-ring of the
harness.
3. The winch operator is trained and competent in the operation of
the winch.
4. No slack line is allowed to develop when the worker moves up or
down the ladder.
5. DBI/SALA recommends, for the 8101000 series winches only,
that an energy absorbing lanyard be connected between the
harness dorsal D-ring and the winch line.
