SRD - General
(Figure 12.1)
Inspect for loose bolts and bent or damaged parts.
Inspect Housing (A) for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
Inspect the Harness Interface (C) for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
The interface should pivot freely.
The Lifeline (C) should pull out and retract fully without hesitation or
creating a slack line condition.
Ensure device locks up when lifeline is jerked sharply. Lockup should be
positive with no slipping.
Inspect the Housing Locking Pin (D) to ensure it is securely closed and
locked around the harness shoulder straps.
Inspect the hook and look straps (E) for excessive wear and operational
security.
Look for signs of corrosion on the entire unit.
Wire Rope Lifeline
(Figure 12.2)
Inspect wire rope for cuts, kinks (A), broken wires (B), bird-caging (C),
welding splatter, (D) corrosion, chemical contact areas, or severely abraded
areas. Slide the cable bumper up and inspect ferrules for cracks or damage
and inspect the wire rope for corrosion and broken wires. Replace the wire
rope assembly if there are six or more randomly distributed broken wires in
one lay, or three or more broken wires in one strand in one lay. A “lay” of
wire rope is the length of wire rope it takes for a strand (the larger groups
of wires) to complete one revolution or twist along the rope. Replace the
wire rope assembly if there are any broken wires within 1 inch (25 mm) of
the ferrules.
Web Lifelines
(Figure 12.3)
Inspect Webbing and/or Rope Lifelines; material must be free of
cuts (A), frays (B), or broken fibers. Check for tears, abrasions,
heavy soiling (C), mold, burns (D), or discoloration. Inspect
stitching; Check for pulled or cut stitches. Broken stitches may be
an indication that the Energy Absorber has been impact loaded
and must be removed from service.
Energy Absorber (Figure 13.1,
13.2)
Verify that the integral energy absorber has not been activated. None of
the Energy Absorber Webbing (C) should be exposed or pulled out from
the Energy Absorber Cover (A). The Energy Absorber Cover (A) should also
be secure and free of tears (D) or other damage. If the energy absorbing
webbing (C) is visable or the SRL (E) is hanging down below the harness
interface (F), the device must be removed from service.
Connectors
(Figure 13.3)
Inspect all SRD connectors for signs of damage and corrosion. Verify that
all connectors are working properly. Where present: Gates (A) should open,
close, lock, and unlock properly; locking buttons and pins should function
correctly.
Labels (Figure 11)
All labels are present and fully legible.
