what steps should you take prior to using a ladder safety system?
select all that apply

• ensure the sleeve moves easily along the rail or cable
• ensure the locking mechanism functions properly
• ensure the d - ring is located on the front of the harness
• ensure you have received training and are otherwise authorized to use a ladder safety system

Explanation:

1. For a ladder safety system, checking the sleeve's movement (to ensure smooth operation), the locking mechanism (for safety), and having proper training/authorization (to use it correctly) are essential. The D - ring location on the harness is more related to harness use in general fall protection, not specific to ladder safety system pre - use checks. So the correct options are: Ensure the sleeve moves easily along the rail or cable; Ensure the locking mechanism functions properly; Ensure you have received training and are otherwise authorized to use a ladder safety system.
2. The option about the D - ring on the front of the harness is not a step specific to prior to using a ladder safety system as it pertains to the harness's general setup rather than the ladder safety system's pre - use checks.

Answer:

A. Ensure the sleeve moves easily along the rail or cable, B. Ensure the locking mechanism functions properly, D. Ensure you have received training and are otherwise authorized to use a ladder safety system
