Use of a Leading Edge SRL requires extra precautions which the user must observe:
• A fall over an edge may require specialized rescue measures.
• The anchor point for Leading Edge SRLs must be situated at the same height, or
higher, than the edge over which a fall may occur. An anchor point below the level
of the edge is dangerous, as this causes the lifeline to redirect at a sharper than 90
degree angle (Figure 1).
• The user must not work on the far side of an opening opposite the Leading Edge
SRL anchor point.
• The redirection angle of the lifeline at an edge over which a fall may occur shall be
at least 90 degrees (Figure 1).
≥ 90˚
OK
• Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or
minimizing all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly
above the location where a fall occurs. Always work as close to, or in line with,
the anchor point as possible. Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death in the event of a fall (Figure 2). Ensure a Competent Person
includes swing fall in calculations if the hazard exists.
• Swing Fall Drop Distance: The additional clearance added from excess cable
being paid out when working at a lateral offset from your anchorage.
