Safety Regulations

1.1

Correct Use

The Self-Retracting Lanyard (SRL) and the Self-Retracting Lanyard with Emergency Rescuer
(Rescue SRL) are part of a fall arrest system when attached to the fall arrest attachment of a full body
harness and an appropriate anchorage. See harness instructions for approved attachment points. If a
user falls, the device will automatically stop the user's descent in a short distance while limiting the fall
arrest force on the user's body.
Rescue units also provide an emergency rescue mechanism for retrieval of a user who experienced a
fall.
See instruction labels on the product for capacity of that system. All systems are designed for a single
person, with only one person on the lifeline at any time.
The Self-Retracting Lanyard and the Self-Retracting Lanyard with Emergency Rescuer are intended
for use by trained and qualified personnel.
It is imperative that this manual be read and observed when using the product. In particular, the safety
instructions, as well as the information for the use and operation of the product, must be carefully read
and observed. Furthermore, the national regulations applicable in the user's country must be taken into
account for a safe use.
Alternative use, or use outside this specification will be considered as non-compliance. This also
applies especially to unauthorized alterations to the product and to commissioning work that has not
been carried out by MSA or authorized persons.

user-borne objects, is less than the capacity shown on product label. Persons with muscular, skeletal,
or other physical disorders should consult a physician before using the SRL. Pregnant women and
minors must never use the SRL. Increasing age and lowered physical fitness may reduce a person's
ability to withstand shock loads during fall arrest or prolonged suspension. Consult a physician if there
is any question about physical ability to safely use this product to arrest a fall or suspend.
