ANSI 130-310 lbs. (58.96-140.61 kg) OSHA Up to 420 lbs. (190.51 kg)
3.0 APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS
Safewaze SRLs 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 8 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 1910.140 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 Edge SRL-Ps are designed to allow for foot level tie-off, but never anchor the SRL at a level below the user’s feet.
· 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 6-8 in this manual indicates the Minimum Fall Clearances when the Latitude Edge SRL-Ps are anchored overhead. 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 2 SRLs are designed for use in both Overhead and 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.

10.0 ACTUAL ARREST DISTANCE / MINIMUM REQUIRED FALL CLEARANCE
Personal Fall Arrest: Safewaze Class 2 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 6 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 Edge 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 Edge 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.

Cold 11″ (28 cm) 11″ (28 cm)

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 Edge SRL-P series when anchored overhead. Fall Clearances indicated in Table 7 are calculated using the greatest Actual Arrest Distance out of the four overhead tests performed on each model. Table 6 indicates the specific arrest distance for each unit in prescribed condition testing with 0′ offset.
EXAMPLE: The SW8005-8LE has Actual Arrest Distances of 1′ 7″, 1′ 6″, 1′ and 11″during Ambient, Wet, Hot, and Cold testing respectively. By using the greatest distance (Ambient = 1′ 7″) 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′ 7″ is required.

Fall Clearance Calculation for Latitude Edge SRL-Ps:
· Figure 3 Illustrates a typical Leading Edge Hazard with key distances represented by the Letters X, Y, and Z. The Letter X represents the Setback Distance of the anchor point to which the Leading Edge SRL is attached. Letter Y represents the distance along the Leading Edge where the user could be performing work operations. Finally, Letter Z represents the Fall Clearance distance required based upon the values of Letters X and Y.
· Table 9 provides Fall Clearance distances required when using a Safewaze Latitude Edge SRL-P. To determine your Fall Clearance requirements, find the value for your Setback Distance for Letter (X) on the left side of the chart. Determine your distance along the edge where work operations will be performed and select the appropriate value (Y) at the top of the chart. The point where these two values intersect within the chart, is the required Leading Edge fall clearance distance (Z).

FIGURE 3 – CALCULATE MINIMUM REQUIRED FALL CLEARANCE (CLASS 2 SRL – LEADING EDGE USE)

Minimum Required Fall Clearance in a Leading Edge environment is calculated using five measurements from the walking/working surface:
SRL Deceleration Distance D-ring Shift/Harness Stretch Safety Factor Height of Dorsal D-ring from walking/working surface (Free Fall) Swing Fall
Table 9 is calculated using all of the above criteria and indicates the Minimum Required Fall Clearance. The calculations also factor in the Set Back Distance of the SRL from the edge, and Lateral Offset Distance.

Latitude Edge SRL-Ps have Leading Edge capabilities, and are tested in accordance with ANSI Z359.14-2021. Leading Edge SRLs are tested for horizontal use and falls over a steel edge without burrs. They have been designed for use in situations where a fall may occur over steel edges.
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 they cause the lifeline to redirect at a sharper than 90 degree angle (See Figure 4).
· Individuals whose weight is over 420 lbs. (191 kg) must not use this device in Leading Edge applications.
· The user(s) 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 (See Figure 4).
· In evaluating your Leading Edge operations, ensure that work parameters are within the Maximum Free Fall Distance, Minimum Setback Distance, and Minimum Fall Clearance Required in a fall over an edge. These parameters are indicated on the Latitude Edge SRL-P Labeling.
· Work area relative to the anchor point, swing fall hazards, abrasion of the lifeline constituent on the edge, and a single anchor point, rather than an anchor point that allows horizontal movement, must all be considered.
· Maximum allowable Free Fall is 6 ft. (1.8 m)

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 5). 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 4). 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 by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze if you have any questions about compatibility.
NOTE: SOME SPECIALTY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. CONTACT SAFEWAZE WITH QUESTIONS.

FIGURE 4 – UNINTENTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT

1 – Non-compliant part

2 – gate presses against
non-complaint part

3 – gate opens

4 – parts disengage.

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 5) 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.
Only a Full Body Harness (FBH) may be used with this equipment. The Full Body Harness must connect to the SRL via the dorsal D-ring. Safewaze SRLs are not rated for use with a body belt. Use of Safewaze SRLs with a body belt may result in injury. Figure 6 illustrates typical connection of Safewaze SRLs to the Dorsal D-ring of the Full Body Harness.
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 5 – INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS

16.1 OPERATION
Inspect the SRL as described in Section 19, before using the equipment. Refer to Figure 6 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 6 illustrates some typical examples of harness and anchorage connections for Latitude Edge SRL-Ps. When using a snap hook to make a connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur (See Figure 4). 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. Where anchoring overhead is not feasible, the user must ensure that a Class 2 SRL is used for any circumstance that requires anchoring of the SRL below the user’s dorsal D-ring. CLASS 1 SRLs ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE BELOW THE DORSAL D-RING OF A FULL BODY HARNESS!
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 8 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 cable of the SRL may prevent the cable 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 cable lifelines using an acid-free oil or petroleum jelly at regular intervals. Always wear gloves when servicing/inspecting steel cable SRLs.
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 cable in the other. With a quick, jerking motion, pull down on the cable. The brake should engage, stopping movement almost immediately. Inspect the cable (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 9 points out key inspection areas of the Latitude Edge series of SRLs.
19.2 UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS
Figure 7 shows examples of equipment damage. Equipment inspectors must be trained to look for damage as illustrated in Figure 7, as well as other damage that may occur. If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition remove the SRL from service.
