If the Self-Retracting Lifeline is known to have arrested a fall it must be removed from 

service immediately and returned for inspection and servicing. 

Before each use check 

(a)  that the brake operates correctly 

(b)  that the SRL is securely anchored level with or above the user (NEVER below) 

(c)  that all components to be used in conjunction with this device are compatible and in 

good condition 

(d)  avoid anchoring the device in such a position that could result in a ‘pendulum/swing 

fall’ (this may occur if the device is positioned at > 30º from the vertical in relation 

to the end user). 

Extend the wire rope/webbing fully (wearing suitable protective gloves) 

and inspect along its length for damage, such as: 

(a)  broken or frayed wires/webbing 

(b)  soiling and/or corrosion 

(c)  kinks and twists in the wire/webbing 

(d)  inspect the swage/stitching for damage 

(e)  check  the  connector(s)  being  used  as  per  the  User  Instructions  supplied  with  the 

 connector 

(f)  check that the Overload/Fall Indicator is not exposed.  

Check the device housing for signs of mechanical deformation, cracks, or chemical 

contamination and/or other defects. 

Retract the wire rope/webbing slowly; during retraction give the wire rope a sharp sudden 

tug in order to activate the braking mechanism. This check should be carried out along 

the full length of the rope at approximately 20% increments. 

If any of the above criteria fail then the device must be removed from service. 

In the event of any doubt consult a trained and competent person. 

Warning: If this SRL or any fall protection device is known to have arrest a fall, 

it must be removed from service immediately. 

1.  A PeakWorks SRL device with recovery mechanism in accordance with EN 360:2002 / 

1496:2007 CSA Z259.2.2 type 3, ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007, Z359.14-2014 is an automatic fall 

arrest system, part of a fall protection PPE with integrated fall restraint functions to serve as 

a fall arrest and recovery lifting device. In conjunction with a safety harness (EN 361 / 1497, 

CSA Z259.2.2 type A or D, ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007), this SRL device provides safety for 

persons carrying out work with a risk of falling (e.g. when moving in containers, vertical shafts, 

sewer systems). With the recovery mechanism, the lifeline is wound up to lift the casualty in an 

emergency. This device may only be used for the intended purpose.

2.  The instructions for use are to be fully read and understood before use. Nonobservance of the 

instructions for use will put lives at risk (Fig. 1). In case of fall, prolonged suspension of a person 

for more than 20 minutes must be avoided (risk of shock).
