PURPOSE
Malta Dynamics Self-Retracting Lifelines are devices used to safely expand the
working area where a harness with a six-foot lanyard is not adequate. A Self-
Retracting Device (SRD) such as a self-retracting lifeline, is designed to reduce
the shock load to the body of a worker by limiting the distance of a fall. The SRD
allows complete freedom of movement. An SRD is one component of a Personal
Fall Arrest System (PFAS). PFAS normally include a full body harness, anchorage
connector (such as a carabiner and an SRD.)
The Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) may be used in a stationary or mobile manner. As
a stationary device, the SRL should be mounted to an approved, fixed anchorage
connector overhead. The SRL extends as the user moves away from the anchor
point, and retracts as the user moves back toward the anchorage point. An SRL
used in a mobile manner should travel on a steel cable, rope or fixed rail, traveling
from one anchorage connector to another.
Self-Retracting Lifelines may include a swivel eye anchorage, self-locking swivel
snap hook or universal rebar hook with impact indicator and 3/16" wire cable or
webbing, carabiner and tag line.
