2.4 RESCUE PLAN: When using this equipment, the employer must have a rescue plan and the means at hand
to implement it and communicate that plan to users, authorized persons, and rescuers.
2.5 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: SRLs shall be inspected by the authorized person
Additionally, inspections shall be conducted by a competent person
authorized inspection entity. The competent person shall use the Inspection Schedule (Table 1) to determine
appropriate inspection intervals. Inspection procedures are described in the "Inspection Checklist" (Table 2).
Results of the Competent Person inspection should be recorded in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" on
the back pages of these instructions.

2.6 LOCKING SPEED: Situations which do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working
in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRL to lock if a
fall occurs. Working on slowly shifting material, such as sand or grain,may not allow enough speed buildup
to cause the SRL to lock. A clear path is required to assure positive locking of the SRL.
2.7 NORMAL OPERATIONS: Normal operation will allow the full length of the lifeline to extend and retract
with no hesitation when extending and no slack when retracting as the worker moves at normal speeds. If a
fall occurs, a speed sensing brake system will activate, stopping the fall and absorbing much of the energy
created. For falls which occur near the end of the lifeline travel, a reserve lifeline system or Load Indicator
has been incorporated to assure a reduced impact fall arrest. If the SRL has been subjected to fall forces,
remove the SRL from service, mark "UNUSABLE", and dispose of in the recommended manner (see "Section
5.4 - Disposal"). Sudden or quick movements should be avoided during normal work operation, as this may
cause the SRL to lock up.
2.8 FREE FALL: When anchored overhead, SRLs will limit the free fall distance to 2 ft (0.6 m) or less. To avoid
increased fall distances, anchor the SRL directly above the worker. Avoid working where your lifeline may
cross or tangle with that of another worker. Avoid working where an object may fall and strike the lifeline;
resulting in loss of balance or damage to the lifeline. Do not allow the lifeline to pass under arms or between
legs. Never clamp, knot, or prevent the lifeline from retracting or being taut. Avoid slack line. Do not
lengthen SRL by connecting a lanyard or similar component without consulting Capital Safety.
2.9 FALL CLEARANCE: Figure 3A illustrates Fall Clearance required in feet (meters) between the working level and
the nearest obstruction for a user with a total weight up to 310 lbs (140 kg). X = clearance between working level
and the nearest obstruction. Ensure adequate clearance exists in the fall path to prevent striking an object during
a fall. Do not tie off below the harness Dorsal D-Ring. If the worker will be working at a position that is not directly
below the SRL anchorage point, the clearance required and vertical fall distance will be greater.
2.10 SWING FALLS: Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall
occurs (see Figure 3B). The force of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury. In a swing
fall, the total vertical fall distance will be greater than if the user had fallen directly below the anchorage
point, thus increasing fall clearance required to safely arrest the user. Use Figure 3A to determine the fall
clearance for your application. X = clearance between working level and the nearest obstruction. Minimize
swing falls by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible. Never permit a swing fall if injury
could occur.
1 Authorized Person:
A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the 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.
3 Competent Person:
An individual designated by the employer to be responsible for the immediate supervision, implementation, and monitoring of the employ-
er's managed fall protection program who, through training and knowledge, is capable of identifying, evaluating, and addressing existing and potential fall hazards,
and who has the employer's authority to take prompt corrective action with regard to such hazards.
