16.5 ANCHORAGE
Select an anchorage location with minimal free fall and swing fall hazards. Select a rigid anchorage point capable of sustaining static loads as defined in
Section 6. ANSI compliant when used overhead. OSHA compliant when used below the D-ring.
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow the lifelines to pass under arms or between legs.
Safewaze SRLs have been tested and certified to the performance requirements of the standard(s) identified on their ID labels. See Figure 11 for examples of
product labeling.
17.0 PERFORMANCE
Only Safewaze or entities authorized in writing by Safewaze, shall make repairs to this equipment. Remove the SRL from use if the SRL has been subjected to fall
arrest forces or has been used to affect a rescue. If unrepairable dispose of the SRL as recommended in Section 19. For questions regarding disposal, service, or
repair of Safewaze SRLs, contact Safewaze at (800) 230-0319.
Cleaning procedures for Safewaze SRLs are as follows:
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Clean labels to maintain readability.
An excessive buildup of debris on the webbing of the SRL may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing. Improper retraction of the lifeline
constituent of the SRL could create a potential free fall hazard.
Clean web lifeline with mild soap solution and water. Allow web lifeline to air dry completely before retracting back into the housing. DO NOT USE HEAT to dry
web lifeline.
IMPORTANT:
If the lifeline comes in contact with acids or other caustic chemicals, remove the SRL from service and wash with
water and a mild soap solution. Inspect the SRL (using the Inspection Form on Page 17) before returning to service.
18.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, AND STORAGE
18.2 SERVICE
18.1 MAINTENANCE
Store Safewaze SRLs in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL after any
period of extended storage.
18.3 STORAGE
19.0 INSPECTION
Before each use ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. Inspect the unit to ensure it has not been damaged and that the unit pays out and
retracts properly. Prior to each use, the braking system must be inspected. Grasp the body of the unit in one hand and the web in the other. With a quick, jerking
motion, pull down on the webbing. The brake should engage, stopping movement almost immediately. Inspect the web (using the Inspection Form on Page 17)
and ensure that all connection hardware is working properly. Brake failure or unsatisfactory results during any portion of the inspection requires immediate removal
of the SRL from service. Figure 12 points out key inspection areas of the Latitude Pro Arc Flash series of SRLs.
19.1 PRIOR TO EACH USE
Figure 10 shows examples of equipment damage. Equipment inspectors must be trained to look for damage as illustrated in Figure 10, as well as other damage
that may occur. If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition remove the SRL from service.
