The FallTech® Contractor Leading Edge SRL-LE is a self-retracting device for those working at height and whom may be subject to Leading Edge fall
hazards; see Figure 11 for typical extreme sharp edges.
The SRD discussed in this manual may be attached to an overhead anchorage, i.e., from directly over the user’s head, to as low as the level of the
user’s FBH dorsal D-ring. The SRD may also be attached to a non-overhead anchorage, i.e., level with the user’s FBH dorsal D-ring, down to
foot- level, to a maximum of 5’ below the user’s FBH dorsal D-ring.
Leading edge means the unprotected side and edge of a floor, roof, or formwork for a floor or other walking/working surface (such as deck) which
changes location as additional floor, roof, decking or formwork sections are placed, formed or constructed. The shape and texture of a leading edge
may vary, see Figure 11.
As shown in Figure 1 below, the SRD has an nylon housing with an integrated handle that contains a lifeline composed of 7/32” diameter galvanized
steel wire rope, wound onto a spring tensioned drum. The SRD’s lifeline is equipped with a cable stop/handle assembly with a spring bumper,
integrated tearaway Energy Absorber (EA), and a steel, load-indicating swivel snaphook. When the user is attached, the lifeline extends and retracts
with user movement, automatically maintaining a taut lifeline. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages, stopping the lifeline payout. The
tearaway EA deploys, gradually slowing and arresting the fall.
See Table 1A in Appendix A for product and materials specifications.
