2.12 SHARP EDGES:
Avoid working where the lifeline will be in contact with or abrade against unprotected sharp
edges. Where contact with a sharp edge is possible, cover the edge with a protective material.
2.13 BODY SUPPORt:
A Full Body Harness must be used with the Self Retracting Lifeline. The harness
connection point must be above the user’s center of gravity. A body belt is not authorized for use with the
Self Retracting Lifeline. If a fall occurs when using a body belt it may cause unintentional release or physical
trauma from improper body support.
2.14 COMPAtiBiLitY OF COMPONENtS:
Unless otherwise noted, Capital Safety equipment is designed for use
with Capital Safety approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with
non approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect safety
and reliability of the complete system.
IMPORTANT:
Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated components and subsystems in your
personal fall arrest system.
2.15 COMPAtiBiLitY OF CONNECtORS:
Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting
elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact Capital
Safety if you have any questions about compatibility.
Connectors used to suspend the SRL must comply with EN362. Connectors must be compatible with the
anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible
connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 4). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape,
and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required. If the connecting element to which
a snap hook or carabiner attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where the
connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner (A). This force may cause the
gate to open (B), allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point (C).
2.16 MAkiNG CONNECtiONS:
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be self-locking.
Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not
compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
Capital Safety connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each
product’s user’s instructions. See Figure 5 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap
hooks and carabiners:
A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.
C. In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the
anchor, and without visual confirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.
D. To each other.
E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the
lanyard and connector specifically allows such a connection).
F. To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and
lock, or that roll-out could occur.
G. In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
