Cable Inspection Considerations:
User must be aware of the potential for damage or deterioration that may occur
while in use.
Crushing: Cable may get crushed or bent while in general use, resulting in unsafe
condition for use.
Cutting: Movement over sharp edges or other objects while cable in under tension
can damage or break strands, resulting in an unsafe condition for use.
Abrasion: Normal wear can result in abrasion. Pay particular attention to outer
strands, which are most susceptible to abrasion. Extreme abrasion results in an
unsafe condition for use.
Kinking: Deformation in the cable causes the lifeline to appear bent or kinked,
and results in an unsafe condition for use.
Corrosion Damage: Use extreme caution to avoid potential damage when using
a Self-Retracting Lifeline in an environment where corrosive compounds, welding
or high heat may exist. Corrosion damage can cause cable to crack. Working
in a corrosive environment requires increased inspection frequency to ensure
corrosive damage does not impact the performance of the SRL.
Arc or Heat Damage: Welding or high heat may fuse cable wires and change the
strength characteristics of the wire and cable as a whole. Periodically examine the
SRL if it must be used in these types of environments.
