1.0 APPLICATIONS PURPOSE: Capital Safety Self Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) are designed to be a component in a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Figure 1 illustrates SRLs covered by this instruction manual and their typical applications. They may be used in most situations where a combination of worker mobility and fall protection is required (i.e. inspection work, general construction, maintenance work, oil production, confined space work, etc.).
Page 20
Results of the Authorized Service or Competent Person inspection should be recorded in the “Inspection and Maintenance Log” at the back of these instructions (see Section 5). lOCking SPEEd: Situations which do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRL to lock if a fall occurs.

2.15 COMPatiBility OF COnnECtORS: Connectors are considered to be 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. Contact Capital Safety if you have any questions about compatibility.
