A Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) is typically composed of an anchorage and a Full Body Harness (FBH),
with a connecting device, i.e., a Shock Absorbing Lanyard (SAL), or a Self-Retracting Device (SRL), attach to
the dorsal D-ring of the FBH.
SRLs are designed for use in applications where falls may occur.
SRLs covered by this manual, SRLs may be used in many situations where a combination of work mobility
and fall protection is required. (i.e. inspection work, general construction, maintenance work, oil
production, confined space work, etc.)

Free Fall:
When anchorage overhead, SRLs will limit the free fall distance to 2ft. (61cm), or less. To avoid increased
fall distances, anchor the SRL directly above the work level. Avoid working where your lifeline may cross or
tangle with that of another worker. Never clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut.
