INSPECTION
SRLs/RTFAs shall be inspected by
the authorized person or rescuer
before each use.
The inspection shall be conducted
by a competent person other than
the user.
The competent person shall use the
inspection schedule and checking
list for appropriate inspection
intervals and procedures.
The competent person should
keep a log of their inspection in
the "Inspection and Maintenance
Log" on the back pages of this
instruction manual.
Purpose:
This product is part of a personal fall
arrest, restraint, work positioning,
suspension, or rescue system.
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/RTFA), attach to the
dorsal D-ring of the FBH.
SRLs/RTFAs are designed for use
in applications where falls may
occur.
SRLs/RTFAs 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.) The SRL-R/
RTFA-R described in this manual
has rescue capability in the event
of a fall. By switching the mode of
the unit, the fallen victim can be
then raised or lowered to safety.
Note: The SafeHold 3-Way
Retrieval SRL-R/RTFA-R discussed
in this manual is not intended for
material handling applications.
