·
The warnings below are designed to reduce the risks associated with the use of Safewaze SRLs:
· User must inspect the SRL prior to each use which includes a check for
proper locking and retraction. · If the inspection reveals an unsafe or
defective condition, the SRL must be removed from service and destroyed or
repaired as specified
in this manual. · If a Safewaze SRL is exposed to fall arrest or impact
forces, it must be immediately removed from service and tagged “Unusable”. ·
Never allow slack to form in the SRL lifeline constituent. Never tie or knot
the lifeline. · Utilize extra caution to keep the lifeline free from any
obstructions including but not limited to; surrounding objects, tools,
equipment,
moving machinery, co-workers, yourself, or possible impact from overhead
objects that could come into contact with the lifeline or worker. · Avoid
making sudden or quick movements as this could cause the SRL to inadvertently
lock. · Do not use a Safewaze SRL in an environment where the fall path is
obstructed. Use of a Safewaze SRL on slowly shifting or unstable
material such as grain or sand, or within cramped or confined spaces, may not
allow the worker to reach adequate speed for the SRL lock up, resulting in
possible engulfment. · Work directly under the anchor point as much as
possible to reduce risk of striking an object due to swing fall. · Unused
leg(s) of a harness mounted SRL must be attached to the parking component on
the front of the harness. · If the PFAS is made up of components from
different manufacturers, ensure that all components of the PFAS are compatible
with each other and meet all applicable standards, regulations, or
requirements. A Competent or Qualified Person should always review and approve
the PFAS system prior to worker use. · Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or
abrasive surfaces. · DO NOT use combinations of components or subsystems, or
both, that may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other · DO
NOT alter equipment · DO NOT misuse equipment · User must have a written
Rescue Plan and means at hand to implement it when using this equipment. All

cold or other harsh environments which may produce a harmful effect. If in
doubt about serviceability of this equipment, contact Safewaze.
IMPORTANT
·
Users should enact the precautionary measures listed below to reduce the inherent risks of working at height:
· Fall protection equipment that fails inspection must be removed from service
and tagged “Unusable”. The equipment should then be returned to Safewaze for
repair / service (if applicable) or destroyed. For questions regarding service
/ repair of components, contact Safewaze.
· Never exceed the maximum allowable weight capacity of your fall protection
equipment. · Never exceed the maximum free fall distance of your fall
protection equipment. · Only Safewaze, or entities authorized in writing by
Safewaze, may make repairs to Safewaze fall protection equipment. · User(s) of
Safewaze fall protection equipment must ensure that their health and physical
condition allows them to withstand all forces
and potential risks associated with working at heights. ANSI limits the weight
capacity of fall protection equipment to a maximum of 310 lbs. Some equipment
covered in this manual may indicate a weight capacity in excess of 310 lbs.
Although some equipment may be rated to a higher capacity, it should be noted
that heavier users are at an increased risk of serious injury or death. This
being due to increased forces on the body during a fall, and the risk for
accelerated onset of suspension trauma. · Use of a body belt is NOT authorized
for fall arrest applications. Use only a Full Body Harness (FBH). · Always
wear required personal protective equipment when installing, using, or
inspecting this equipment. · If conducting training operations with this

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Safewaze Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL). This
manual must be read and understood in its entirety and used as part of an
employee training program as required by OSHA or any applicable state agency.
This manual and any other instructional material must be provided to the
user(s) of the equipment. The user must understand how to use the SRL safely
and effectively, as well as any related Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS)
components.
2.0 APPLICATION
Safewaze SRLs are intended for use as part of a complete personal fall arrest,
restraint, work positioning, suspension, or rescue system. Safewaze SRLs are
designed for a single user whose weight (including clothing, tools, and
equipment) is:
ANSI 130-310 lbs. (58.96-140.61 kg) OSHA Up to 420 lbs. (190.51 kg)
3.0 APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS
Safewaze SRL-Ps conform to the national standard(s) identified on their ID
label. Refer to local, state, and federal (OSHA) requirements for additional
information concerning the governing of occupational safety regarding Personal
Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS). See Figure 12 for examples of product labeling.
When used according to instructions, this product meets ANSI Z359.14-2021,
OSHA 1910.140, 1910.66.
Applicable standards and regulations depend on the type of work being done,
and also might include state-specific regulations. Refer to local, state, and
federal (OSHA) requirements for additional information concerning the
governing of occupational safety regarding Personal Fall Arrest Systems
(PFAS).
TABLE 2 – ANSI STANDARDS
ANSI Z359.14-2021 Safety Requirements for Self-Retracting Devices for Personal Fall Arrest and Rescue Systems
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):
The SRLs covered in this manual meet ANSI Z359.14-2021, and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations 1910.140, 1910.66.
ANSI requires SRLs be classified according to their intended use and are
tested either as Class 1 or Class 2 units. Dynamic performance testing begins
by installing the SRL in a controlled test environment. With the SRL attached
to a suitable anchorage, the lifeline constituent is attached to a test
weight. The weight
is then dropped to simulate a fall arrest event. NOTE: SRL must be tested in
all installation configurations allowed per its user instructions. Test
results are recorded.
Parameters recorded are:
·
Arrest Distance (AD)
·
Average Arrest Force (AAF)
·
Maximum Arrest Force (MAF)
The Arrest Distance is the total vertical distance required to completely arrest a fall. The Arrest Distance includes the deceleration distance and the activation distance. The Average Arrest Force is the average of the forces applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall protection system. The Maximum Arrest Force is the maximum amount of force that may be applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall protection system. These tests are conducted in ambient conditions. The units must also be tested in extreme atmospheric conditions. There are three conditions: Cold, Hot, and Wet (Units saturated in water and tested). Separate units may be used for each test. All test results are recorded. This test data is then used to establish the fall clearance guidelines published in this user instruction manual.
Class 1 and 2:
Class 1: Self-retracting devices which shall be used only on overhead anchorages and shall be subjected to a maximum free fall of 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, in practical application.
Class 2: Self-retracting devices which are intended for applications wherein overhead anchorages may not be available or feasible and which may, in practical application, be subjected to a free fall of no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) over an edge.
When the SRL is anchored overhead of the user, ANSI Z359.14-2021 specifies
that both Class 1 and Class 2 SRLs shall have an arrest distance of less than
42 in. (1.1 m). Average arrest forces must not exceed 1,350 lbs. (612.35 kg).
Conditioned testing of the units allows slightly higher Average Arrest
Forces of 1,575 lbs. (714.41 kg), but Maximum Arrest Forces must always remain
below 1,800 lbs. (816.47 kg).
When dynamically tested in accordance with requirements of ANSI Z359.14-2021, Class 1 and Class 2 Self-Retracting Devices must have an AAF of 1,350 lbs. (612.35 kg) or less, and an AD of less than 42 in. (1.1 m).
Class 2 SRL labels must include fall clearance table illustrations that include a diagram of the axes shown on the table. These labels shall be affixed to the product. Please see Section 10 of this user instruction manual for how to calculate your Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) using the affixed labels.
Classification information found on product labels is based on test results. Table 1 indicates the SRLs covered in this manual. NOTE: Arrest distance is one of several parts of the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC). MRFC is discussed in detail in Section 10. OSHA requires an SRL limit the free fall to 2 feet (0.6 m) or less. If the maximum free fall distance must be exceeded, the employer must document, based on test data, that the maximum arresting force will not be exceeded, and the personal fall arrest system will function properly.

4.0 WORKER CLASSIFICATIONS
Understand the definitions of those who work in proximity of or may be exposed
to fall hazards or rescues. Qualified Person: “Qualified Person” means one
who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional
standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has
successfully demonstrated his ability to solve or resolve problems relating to
the subject matter, the work, or the project.
Competent Person: “Competent Person” means one who is capable of identifying
existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions
which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has
authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
Authorized Person: “Authorized Person” means a person approved or assigned by
the employer to perform a specific type of duty or duties or to be at a
specific location or locations at the job site.
It is the responsibility of a Qualified or Competent person to supervise the
job site and ensure safety regulations are complied with.
5.0 TRAINING
This equipment is intended to be used by persons trained in its correct
application and use. It is the responsibility of the user to assure they are
familiar with these instructions and are trained in the correct care and use
of this equipment. Users must be aware of the operating characteristics,
application, limits, and the consequences of improper use.
6.0 LIMITATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
When installing or using this equipment always refer to the following
requirements and limitations: · Capacity: Safewaze Self Retracting Lifelines
are designed in compliance with ANSI Z359.14-2021 to meet the weight capacity
range of
(130-310 lbs), OSHA up to (420 lbs).
· Anchorage: Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall have a strength
capable of sustaining static loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least:
1. 5,000 lbs. (2267.9 kg) for non-certified anchorages, or 2. Two times the
maximum arresting force for certified anchorages.
When more than one fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the
strengths set forth in (1) and (2) above shall be multiplied by the number of
systems attached to the anchorage.
From OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66: Anchorages used for attachment of personal
fall arrest systems shall be independent of any anchorage being used to
support or suspend platforms, and capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs.
(2267.9 kg) per user attached, or be designed, installed, and used as part of
a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at
least two, and is under the supervision of a qualified person.
· Locking Speed: The nature of this equipment requires sufficient space in the
working area to allow for the SRL to lock. Working in small or confined spaces
may keep the user’s body from reaching the speed needed to lock the SRL during
a fall. Working on slowly shifting materials, such as grain or sand, may not
allow the speed needed to cause the SRL to lock.
· Free Fall: Safewaze SRLs when used correctly with the unit anchored directly
overhead and no slack in the lifeline, will limit the free fall distance to 0
ft. (0 m). In order to limit free fall distances, keep attachment of the SRL
below Dorsal D-ring height to as minimal a distance as possible. Safewaze
Latitude Pro SRL-Ps are not designed to allow for foot level tie-off.
· Swing Falls: As the user moves laterally away from an overhead anchor point,
the risks related to swing falls increase. The force of striking an object
involving swing fall can in some instances generate more forces than a fall
with the user wearing no fall protection equipment. Minimize swing falls by
working as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
· Fall Clearance: Figure 2 Illustrates a Fall Clearance Calculation. Fall
Clearance (FC) is the total combined values of Free Fall (FF), Deceleration
Distance (DD), and a Safety Factor (SF). Safety Factor calculations may differ
by manufacturer, but for the purposes of this manual, the Safety Factor is
calculated at 2 ft.. The Safety Factor includes D-ring shift and Harness
Stretch.
Table 6-10 in this manual indicate Minimum Fall Clearances when the Latitude
Pro SRL-Ps are anchored overhead, or below the Dorsal D-ring. For falls from a
kneeling or crouched position an additional 3 ft. (1 m) of Fall Clearance is
required. If a Swing Fall Hazard exists, the total vertical fall distance will
be greater than if the user had fallen directly under the anchor point.
Section 11 and Table 10 in this manual provide information regarding Swing
Fall hazards and additional Fall Clearance Requirements.
· Hazards: Extra precautions should be taken if this equipment is used in an
environment where hazards exist. Hazards can include but are not limited to:
moving machinery, high voltage equipment or power lines, caustic chemicals,
corrosive environments, toxic or explosive gases, or high heat. Avoid working
in an area where overhead equipment or personnel could fall and contact the
user, fall protection equipment, or the lifeline. Areas where the user’s
lifeline may cross or tangle with the lifeline of another user should be
avoided. Do not allow the lifeline to pass under arms or between the user’s
legs.
· Sharp Edges: Safewaze Class 1 SRLs are NOT designed for use in Leading Edge
Environments. Should a specific work area have extremely sharp edge(s) that
may come into contact with the lifeline constituent of the SRL, a Class 2 SRL
is required.

Self Retracting Lifelines are used as part of a PFAS. Safewaze SRLs are
designed to safely arrest the user in a fall from height, while minimizing
forces associated with what can be an extremely violent event. Safewaze SRLs
are authorized for use with Horizontal Lifeline Systems but must NEVER be used
as the lifeline constituent of an HLL System. Class 1 SRLs are designed for
overhead applications. Class 2 SRLs are designed for both overhead and below
Dorsal D-ring use. Maximum allowable Free Fall for Class 1 SRLs is 2 ft..

10.0 ACTUAL ARREST DISTANCE / MINIMUM REQUIRED FALL CLEARANCE
Personal Fall Arrest: Safewaze Class 1 SRLs can be used as part of a complete
Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for a maximum of one user. Only one user
may be connected to an SRL. Avoid sharp and/or abrasive edges. If contact with
an abrasive surface is unavoidable, proper edge protection must be used. The
structure utilized for attachment must be capable of withstanding a load of
5,000 lbs. in all directions permitted by the system. The maximum allowable
free fall is 2 ft.
Actual Arrest Distance (AD):
Safewaze SRLs are tested in accordance with ANSI Z359.14-2021 conditioning
test protocols. Table 6 reflects the actual performance of each unit in the
Latitude Pro SRL-P series when subjected to Ambient, Wet, Hot, and Cold
testing. The Fall Clearance specifications in Table 8 of this manual reflect
the ANSI Z359.14-2021 Maximum Arrest Distance allowance of 42″. Actual Arrest
Distances for each unit in the Latitude Pro SRL-P series are indicated below.
These Actual Arrest Distances are typically lower than the 42″ maximum as
specified per ANSI. In certain instances this may allow for a Qualified Person
to adjust Minimum Required Fall Clearances indicated in Table 8.

Minimum Required Fall Clearance:
The Minimum Required Fall Clearance distances indicated in Table 7 are based
upon Ambient, Wet, Hot, and Cold testing results for each unit in the Latitude
Pro SRL-P series. Fall Clearances indicated in Table 7 are calculated using
the greatest Actual Arrest Distance out of the four tests performed. Table 6
indicates the specific arrest distance in prescribed condition testing with 0′
offset.
EXAMPLE: The Latitude Pro SRL-Ps have Actual Arrest Distances of 22″, 21″,
22″, and 23″ during Ambient, Wet, Hot, and Cold testing respectively. By using
the greatest distance (Cold=23″) out of the four tests performed and inserting
that value in Row B of the Chart in Figure 2, a Total Fall Clearance of 5′ 11″
is required.

Specific models of the Latitude Pro SRL-P series are designed and tested for
use below the Dorsal D-ring. The user must account for additional clearance
requirements when the anchor point is located below the D-ring. Safewaze
Latitude Pro SRL-Ps meet all ANSI Z359.14-2021 requirements for a Class 1 SRL
when anchored overhead. When anchored below the Dorsal D-ring, Latitude Pro
SRL-Ps are compliant with OSHA 1910.140 and OSHA 1910.66.
Table 9 indicates the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) for each type of
SRL in the Latitude Pro line. Table 9 also provides the Maximum Allowed
Distance below the D-ring a Latitude Pro SRL-P may be used, as well as the
Actual Arrest Distance as tested for each unit. Both are factored into the
MRFC calculation.

11.0 SWING FALLS
An anchorage point located in a position that is not directly over the user’s
fall location results in a Swing Fall (See Figure 4). Swing falls may result
in the user striking an object with enough force to cause serious injury.
Greater clearance is needed to ensure safety during a swing fall as vertical
fall distance will be greater than a fall originating directly below the
anchorage point. For help determining additional required fall clearance due
to Swing Fall, (See Table 10).

12.0 FALL PROTECTION AND RESCUE PLAN
When using this equipment, employers must create and maintain a Fall
Protection and Rescue Plan and provide the means to implement those plans. The
plans must be communicated to equipment users, authorized persons, and
rescuers. These plans must meet ANSI Z359.2 “Minimum Requirements for a
Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program.” They should include the
requirements and guidelines for the employer’s managed Fall Protection
Program. This would include eliminating and controlling fall hazards, duties
and training, policies, fall protection procedures, rescue procedures,
incident investigations, and evaluation of the program’s effectiveness.
13.0 NORMAL OPERATIONS
During normal operations, the lifeline constituent of the SRL will extend and
retract freely with no slack or hesitation as the worker moves at normal
speeds. In the event of a fall, Safewaze SRLs are equipped with a speed
sensing braking system. The braking system will activate, stopping the fall,
and absorbing much of the energy created by the fall. Due to the speed sensing
braking system, user(s) should avoid quick or sudden movements, as this may
cause the SRL to inadvertently lock. If the user is performing operations near
the end of the working length of the SRL, a reserve line is incorporated
within the SRL to reduce fall arrest forces.
14.0 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS
Safewaze Fall Protection Equipment is designed for use with Safewaze
components and subsystems only. A Qualified Person should make the
determination of Safewaze equipment compatibility with equipment not
manufactured by Safewaze. Replacement or substitution of equipment not
manufactured by Safewaze, may degrade, or reduce the safety and reliability of
the complete system.
IMPORTANT: Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated
components and subsystems in your personal fall
arrest system.
15.0 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
Connectors are 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. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable
of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (2267.9 kg). Connectors must be compatible
with the anchorage or other system components (See Figure 5). Do not use
equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may
unintentionally disengage (See Figure 5). Connectors must be compatible in
size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required
by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze if you have any questions
about compatibility.
FIGURE 5 – UNINTENTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT
1 – Non-compliant part
2 – gate presses against
non-complaint part
3 – gate opens
4 – parts disengage.
NOTE: SOME SPECIALTY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. CONTACT SAFEWAZE
WITH QUESTIONS.
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a
snap hook or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the gate of the
snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or
carabiner presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate
(3). This allows the snap hook or carabiner to disengage (4) from the
connection point.
15.1 MAKING CONNECTIONS
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking
and/or twist lock. 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.
Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. (See Figure 6) for
examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and
carabiners:
· To a D-ring to which another connector is attached. · In a manner that would
result in a load on the gate (with the exception of Tie-Back hooks). NOTE:
Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which
will result in a load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the
snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lbs. (1632.9
kg) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility. ·
In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or
carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual confirmation seems to be
fully engaged to the anchor point. · To each other. · By wrapping the lifeline
around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as allowed for Tie-Back
models · To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or
carabiner will not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur. · In a manner
that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
NOTE: Large throat snap hooks must 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
complies with ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lbs. (1632.9 kg) gate.
Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your
application.

FIGURE 6 – INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS
16.0 USE
WARNING: Contact Safewaze if you have questions regarding compatibility of
this equipment that are not covered in this manual.
Do not alter or misuse this equipment. Some subsystem components could affect
the performance of the operation of this equipment. Do not anchor this product
to moving machinery, hazards that include chemical, electrical or gaseous
characteristics. Failure to comply with this warning could result in injury or
death.
WARNING: Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your fitness to
safely absorb the shock from a fall arrest. Age and fitness
seriously affect a worker’s ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or
minors must not use Safewaze SRLs. Failure to heed this warning may result in
serious injury or death.
16.1 OPERATION
Inspect the SRL as described in Section 19, before using the equipment. Refer
to Figure 7 for common system connections used with SRL applications. Mount
the SRL to an approved anchor point. Ensure connections are compatible in
size, shape, and strength. Ensure hooks are fully closed and locked. When the
worker is fully attached, the worker is then free to move about within the
recommended working area. If a fall occurs, the SRL will lock and arrest the
fall. Upon rescue, remove the SRL from use. When working with an SRL, always
allow the lifeline to retract back into the device in a controlled manner. Do
not release the unit to “free-spin” back into itself.
WARNING: Do not tie or knot the lifeline. Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or
abrasive surfaces. Inspect the lifeline frequently for
cuts, fraying, burns, or signs of chemical damage. Dirt, contaminants, and
water can lower performance of the lifeline. Use caution near power lines.
Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury or death.
16.2 AFTER A FALL
As discussed in Section 12, employers must create and maintain a Fall
Protection and Rescue Plan and provide the means to implement those plans.
ANSI Z359.2 “Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection
Program ” specifes “The employer shall provide prompt rescue to all fallen
authorized persons”, with a recommended goal for rescue subject contact of
less than 6 minutes. While there is no specific criteria for what constitutes
a “prompt rescue”, all workers must be trained on the site Rescue Plan, and
all equipment associated with the Rescue Plan.
Any equipment exposed to the force of a fall, or that shows damage consistent
with the effects of a fall, must be removed from service immediately.
Equipment must then be serviced (See Section 18) if applicable, or disposed of
(See Section 19).
16.3 BODY SUPPORT
A full body harness must be worn when using Safewaze SRLs.
16.4 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Figure 7 illustrates some typical examples of harness and anchorage
connections for Latitude Pro SRL-Ps. When using a snap hook to make a
connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur (See Figure 5). Do not use snap hooks
or carabiners that will not completely close over the anchor point. This
includes traditional overhead anchor point tie-off, housing attachment to
dorsal D-ring, and 100% tie-off. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
supplied with each system component.
WARNING: Never connect the snap hook of one SRL to the lifeline of another SRL
or lanyard. Failure to comply with this warning
may result in equipment malfunction, serious injury or death.

16.5 ANCHORAGE
Select an anchorage location with minimal free fall and swing fall hazards.
Select a rigid anchorage point capable of sustaining static loads as defined
in Section 6. ANSI compliant when used overhead. OSHA compliant when used
below the D-ring.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the lifelines to pass under arms or between legs.
17.0 PERFORMANCE
Safewaze SRLs have been tested and certified to the performance requirements
of the standard(s) identified on their ID labels. See Figure 12 for examples
of product labeling.
18.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, AND STORAGE
18.1 MAINTENANCE
Cleaning procedures for Safewaze SRLs are as follows: Periodically clean the
exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Clean labels to
maintain readability. An excessive buildup of debris on the webbing of the SRL
may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing. Improper
retraction of the lifeline constituent of the SRL could create a potential
free fall hazard. Clean web lifeline with mild soap solution and water. Allow
web lifeline to air dry completely before retracting back into the housing. DO
NOT USE HEAT to dry web lifeline.
IMPORTANT: If the lifeline comes in contact with acids or other caustic
chemicals, remove the SRL from service and wash with
water and a mild soap solution. Inspect the SRL (using the Inspection Form on
Page 18) before returning to service.
18.2 SERVICE
Only Safewaze or entities authorized in writing by Safewaze, shall make
repairs to this equipment. Remove the SRL from use if the SRL has been
subjected to fall arrest forces or has been used to affect a rescue. If
unrepairable dispose of the SRL as recommended in Section 19. For questions
regarding disposal, service, or repair of Safewaze SRLs, contact Safewaze at
800-230-0319.
18.3 STORAGE
Store Safewaze SRLs in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight.
Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL after
any period of extended storage.
19.0 INSPECTION
19.1 PRIOR TO EACH USE
Before each use ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.
Inspect the unit to ensure it has not been damaged and that the unit pays out
and retracts properly. Prior to each use, the braking system must be
inspected. Grasp the body of the unit in one hand and the web in the other.
With a quick, jerking motion, pull down on the webbing. The brake should
engage, stopping movement almost immediately. Inspect the web (using the
Inspection Form on Page 18) and ensure that all connection hardware is working
properly. Brake failure or unsatisfactory results during any portion of the
inspection requires immediate removal of the SRL from service. Figure 13
points out key inspection areas of the Latitude Pro series of SRLs.
19.2 UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS
Figure 11 shows examples of equipment damage. Equipment inspectors must be
trained to look for damage as illustrated in Figure 11, as well as other
damage that may occur. If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition
remove the SRL from service.

19.3 PRODUCT LIFE
The working life of Safewaze SRLs are determined by work conditions, care,
maintenance, and proper inspections. As long as the SRL passes inspection, it
may remain in service.

19.4 DISPOSAL
Dispose of the Safewaze SRL if it has been damaged by fall arrest forces or
inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition that cannot be repaired by
an authorized Safewaze Service Center. Before disposing of the SRL, cut the
lifeline in half so that it is not mistakenly reused. For questions regarding
disposal, service, or repair of Safewaze SRLs, contact Safewaze at
