9.0 SPECIFICATIONS
8.0 PURPOSE
Self Retracting Lifelines are used as part of a PFAS. Safewaze SRLs are designed to safely arrest the user in a fall from height, while minimizing forces
associated with what can be an extremely violent event. Safewaze SRLs are authorized for use with Horizontal Lifeline Systems but must NEVER be used
as the lifeline constituent of an HLL System. Class 1 SRLs are designed for overhead applications. Class 2 SRLs are designed for both overhead and below
Dorsal D-ring use. Maximum allowable Free Fall for Class 1 SRLs is 2 ft..
1.
Authorized Person:
A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where such person will be exposed to a fall hazard.
2.
Rescuer:
Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.
Either the Authorized Person¹ (User) or the Rescuer² must inspect this equipment prior to each use. The Inspection table (Table 3), should be used to determine
proper inspection frequency. The Inspection Form (Page 18) describes proper inspection procedures. The Competent Person should record inspection results in
the Inspection Form and retain a copy for records. (NOTE: User is advised to make copies of the Inspection Form on (Page 18) of this manual prior to filling out
the form for the first time). Copies of the Inspection Form can be used for later Inspections. Annual inspections by a Competent Person other than the user must
be recorded in the Inspection Log (Page 19).
NOTE:
Special rescue measures may be required for a fall over an edge.
