OPERATION, USE AND PLAN:

Anchorage: The anchorage to which the SRL is attached must sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the fall

arrest system of at least 3,600 lbs. with certication of a qualied person, or 5,000 lbs. without certication. Refer to OSHA and

ANSI for specic denition. This device is only to be used by one person. When more than one personal fall arrest system is

attached to the same structure, the strength requirements stated above must be multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest

systems attached to the structure.

Horizontal Systems and Tripods: In applications where the SRL is used in conjunction with a horizontal system or with

Megapod, ensure the support structure and or the horizontal system components are compatible.

Horizontal systems must be designed and installed under the supervision of a qualied engineer.

Anchorage Selection: Select an anchorage point capable of support is at least 5,000 lbs. Additionally, select a location for

anchorage of the SRL that will avoid a free fall and swing fall hazards. To prevent an increased free fall distance, do not work

above the anchorage location.

Free Fall: Avoid slack in the line and do not lengthen the SRL by connecting a lanyard or other snap hooks directly to the

retractable.

Do not use this device at or below your feet. This will increase your free fall distance beyond the allowable limits set by OSHA and

exceed the capabilities of the SRL to safely arrest a fall

Swing Falls: Swing fall will occur when the anchorage point is not directly over the head of the worker or directly above the point

where a fall occurs. The force of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury including death. Minimize swing falls

by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible. In all situations where a swing fall can occur, the likelihood of an

injury can occur. Please contact SAFE KEEPER Fall Protection if you have questions on a particular application involving one of our

retractable.

Fall Clearance: Ensure that there is always adequate clearance in the path of a fall to avoid striking an object or lower level. A

minimum of six feet from the working level to the lower level or nearest obstruction is recommended as long as the SRL is

attached directly over head of the worker and the worker is not in danger of insult as a result of a swing fall hazard.

Sharp Edges: Unprotected and sharp edges can damage the lifeline. Please make sure to avoid working where this can occur

and provide protection where possible. A SAFE KEEPER manufactured energy absorbing device can be added to aid in reducing

the impact forces on the entire device. For more details contact SAFE KEEPER.

INSPECTION OF SELF RETRACTING LIFELINES:

Before each use of this equipment inspect it according to the following guidelines: A formal inspection of fall protection

products/components must be performed at least every six months by a competent person other than the user. The frequency

of formal inspections should be based on conditions of use or exposure. Record the inspection results in the inspection and

maintenance log at the end of this manual. OSHA 1910.66, OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.14 requires an inspection of

equipment before each use. Before using this equipment, record the serial number information from the label in the inspection

and maintenance log at the end of this manual.

Annually: ANSI requires a formal inspection of the SRL be completed by a competent person other than the user at least twice a

year. More formal and frequent inspections may be required based upon the severity and environmental conditions of the

workplace. SAFE KEEPER Retractable, unless otherwise marked, are required to be recertied every two years from the date

of rst use.

WARNING:

If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the product from service and send product back to SAFE

KEEPER authorized service center.
