• Prevent swing falls and impact with objects in or adjacent to the fall path. Swing falls can increase
the fall distance. Always remove obstructions below the work area to ensure a clear fall path. Keep
work area free from debris, obstructions, trip hazards, spills or other hazards which could impair the
safe operation of the fall protection system. DO NOT use the V-TEC SRL unless a qualified person
has inspected the workplace and determined that identified hazards can neither be eliminated nor
exposures to them prevented.
• MSA Fall Protection products may not be used while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• DO NOT rely on feel or sound to verify proper snaphook or carabiner engagement. Ensure that gate

• If the V-TEC SRL is damaged or is subjected to fall arrest forces or impact forces, it must be
immediately removed from service and marked as “UNUSABLE” until it has been destroyed.
• Due to the nature of some fall arrest events, it is possible for the fall arrest indicator to not deploy. In
the event that a V-TEC SRL is subjected to fall arrest forces and the fall arrest indicator does not
deploy, the V-TEC SRL still must be removed from service and marked as “UNUSABLE” until it has
been destroyed.
• If the fall arrest indicator is deployed, immediately remove the V-TEC SRL from service and mark it
as “UNUSABLE” until it has been destroyed.

• Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the V-TEC SRL. More frequent inspections are
required in these environments.

or in the presence of excessive heat, open flame or molten metal. DO NOT use in environments with
temperatures greater than -40°C to 54 °C (-40 °F to 130 °F).
• DO NOT use the V-TEC SRL near energized equipment or where contact with high voltage power
lines may occur. Metal components of the V-TEC SRL may provide a path for electrical current to
flow, resulting in an electrical shock or electrocution.
• Remove any surface contamination such as, but not limited to, concrete, stucco, roofing material,
etc. that could accelerate cutting or abrading of attached components.

• RESCUE AND EVACUATION: the user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to
implement it. The plan must take into account the equipment and specific training necessary to
affect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions. If the rescue be from a confined space, the
provisions of OSHA regulation 1910.146 and ANSI Z117.1 must be taken into account. It is
recommended to provide means for user evacuation without assistance of others. This will usually
reduce the time to get to a safe place and reduce or prevent the risk to rescuers.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
