Safewaze Latitude Pro Arc Flash SRLs meet the testing requirements of the ASTM F887-18 standard and were developed for use in areas where an Arc Flash, or High Heat hazard may exist. In the event of an Arc Flash or other high heat incident, the Safewaze Latitude Pro Arc Flash SRLs are designed to withstand the high temperatures of such an event, and continue to function as a Fall Arrest device.

1.1 PURPOSE Safewaze Pro Arc Flash SRLs are designed for use in environments where a fall could occur. The purpose is to prevent the fall or limit the potential fall arrest forces as much as possible. A variety of connection and configuration options are available to suit any users preference or job-site requirements (See Table 1).
0 ft. (0 cm). 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 Arc Flash SRLs are designed for use up to a maximum of 2 ft. (.61 m) below the user’s Dorsal D-ring.
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 generated by the fall.
2.6 BODY SUPPORT Only a Full Body Harness (FBH) may be used with this equipment. The Full Body Harness must connect to the Latitude Pro Arc Flash 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 3 illustrates typical connection of Safewaze SRLs to the Dorsal D-ring of the Full Body Harness.
