Inspection
Pass Fail
The web lifeline should extract and retract completely and
without faltering and should remain taut under tension
without sagging.
Extract the web lifeline several inches and apply a firm pull
to confirm the SRD locks. The locking should be certain
and without skidding. Repeat this lockup at additional
places along the lifeline length to confirm the SRD is
operating correctly.
Examine the external housing for cracks, breaks or warping.
Review the integral Swivel Eye and Connector for damage
and deformation. The Swivel Eye should rotate smoothly
and be joined firmly to the housing. The Connector should
also rotate smoothly within the Swivel Eye.
Examine the overall SRD unit for any indications of
deterioration or damage.
All labels must be intact and totally readable (see Section 8)
Examine the load indicator stitch/or energy absorber on
the lifeline to be certain that it has not been activated.
Review the web lifeline closely for wear created by
abrasion, tattered yarns, unraveled strands, burns and
cuts. Also examine for knots, rust, dirt, paint and grease
or oil. Check for damage caused by chemical corruption
or excessive heat as evident with discoloration. Examine
for extreme exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet as
demonstrated by desiccation.
Check for any missing or loose screws or nuts and
any deformed or damaged components.
