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.
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 HD SRL-Ps are not designed to allow for foot level tie-off.
8.0 PURPOSE 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.
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.

Arrest Distance of 42 in. Fall Clearance calculations may vary dependent upon the SRL being used. It is essential that the correct Arrest Distance is used to determine Minimum Required Fall Clearance.

Table 9 indicates the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) for each type of SRL in the Latitude HD line. Table 9 also provides the Maximum Allowed Distance below the D-ring a Latitude HD SRL-P may be used, as well as the Actual Arrest Distance as tested for each unit. Both are factored into the MRFC calculation.
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.
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.
