2.2
INSPECTION FREQUENCY: SRLs shall be inspected by the authorized person
(See Table 2). Additionally, inspections shall be conducted by a competent person
intervals of no more than one year. Extreme working conditions (harsh environment, prolonged use, etc.)
may necessitate more frequent competent person inspections. Inspection procedures are described in the
"Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). Results of the Competent Person inspection should be recorded in
the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" or recorded with the i-Safe™ system (see Section 5).
2.3
NORMAL OPERATIONS: Normal operation will allow the lifeline to extend and retract with no hesitation
or slack 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. Sudden or quick movements should be avoided
during normal work operation, as this may cause the SRL to lock up. For falls which occur near the end of
the lifeline travel, a reserve lifeline system or Energy Absorber has been incorporated to reduce the fall
arrest forces. If the SRL has been subjected to fall arrest forces: remove it from service, mark or tag as
"UNUSABLE", inspect and service as instructed in Sections 5 and 6.
2.4
BODY SUPPORT: A Full Body Harness must be used with the Self-Retracting Lanyard. The harness
connection point must be above the user's center of gravity. A body belt is not authorized for use with the
Self-Retracting Lanyard. If a fall occurs when using a body belt it may cause unintentional release or physical
trauma from improper body support.
2.5
COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS: Unless otherwise noted, Capital Safety equipment is designed for use
with Capital Safety approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non
approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect safety and
reliability of the complete system.
IMPORTANT:
Follow manufacturer's instructions for components and subsystems in your personal fall arrest system.
2.6
COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting
elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact Capital
Safety if you have any questions about compatibility.
Connectors used to suspend the SRL must comply with EN362. Connectors must be compatible with the
anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible
connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 4). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and
strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required. If the connecting element to which a snap
hook or carabiner attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where the connecting
element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner (A). This force may cause the gate to open
(B), allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point (C).
2.7
MAKING CONNECTIONS: Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be self-locking.
Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not
compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. Capital Safety connectors (snap hooks and
carabiners) are designed to be used only as specifi ed in each product's user's instructions. See Figure 5 for
examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.
NOTE: Large throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will
result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook is equipped with a 3,600 lb
(16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your application.
C. In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the
anchor, and without visual confi rmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.
D. To each other.
E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer's instructions for both the
lanyard and connector specifi cally allows such a connection).
F.
To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and
lock, or that roll-out could occur.
G. In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
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
employer'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.
