What is an SRL in Fall Protection?
Falling from a height poses significant risks, and for many workers, their primary defense is fall protection equipment, including self-retracting lifelines. An SRL limits fall distance and decreases forces to the body, working to prevent serious injuries or fatalities. Whether you need an SRL for a construction site, confined space, or other specific applications, these devices are indispensable for ensuring worker safety.
Fall Protection SRLs
SELF RETRACTING LIFELINES
Self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), also known as retractable lifelines or fall arrest devices, are critical components of fall protection systems. These devices detect when a worker begins to fall and immediately engage an internal braking mechanism to stop the descent.

Frequently Asked Questions
At What Height Do I Require Fall Protection Equipment?
Professionals in the construction industry require fall protection equipment starting at 6′ for compliance. Team members working in general industries must use personal SRLs and the correct lanyard hook types at 4′ for their safety.
Are SRLs From Malta Dynamics Eligible for Repairs?
It is recommended that teams replace SRLs when they do not pass an inspection by an experienced professional. Replacing your worn equipment is the best way to make sure each part of the self-retracting lifeline system works as intended.
Malta Dynamics products can be repaired, but you must reach out to a qualified professional with experience working with SRLs for dependable results. Repairs are mandatory under the following circumstances:
- The SRL has supported the weight of a fallen worker.
- The hook on the SRL has been deemed inoperable.
- There are multiple kinks across SRL cabling.
- A competent person finds the SRL cabling unable to engage during testing.
How Do I Clean My Self-Retracting Lifeline?
Users may wipe off self-retracting lifelines with a damp sponge. Use a mild soap or detergent with water to lift stubborn grime. Once you remove the dirt, be sure to dry the device completely with a towel. Do not submerge self-retracting lifelines in water to keep your investment operating as it should.
Are Self-Retracting Lifelines Suitable for Leading Edge Jobs?
A self-retracting lifeline must be tested and approved for leading edge specific applications prior to use. Malta Dynamics labels our SRLs for sale to make the shopping experience straightforward. Generally, a leading edge SRL features more robust cables and wear-resistant parts. These SRL types also have energy-absorbing technology inside the system to effectively break falls.
What Types of Hooks Come With Malta Dynamics SRLs?
Our SRL offerings have detailed product descriptions with specifications. Our team mentions whether you’ll receive a snap or rebar hook with other essential information. Most product names also state what type of hook comes with your purchase for convenience and transparency.
Is There an Expiration Date for Fall Protection Equipment?
Fall protection equipment like SRLs must be reviewed by a competent person before each use. This individual will deem each component in the fall protection system safe or unsafe after the inspection.
There are no OSHA or ANSI regulations that require manufacturers to include a length of service document with fall protection equipment purchases. Therefore, it is up to a competent person to inspect parts’ condition and decide when they need repair or replacement.
Should I Use Fall Protection Equipment on Ladders?
OSHA and ANSI do not have specific standards for construction employees working on portable ladders. Your workers will not have to be tied off while using collapsible ladders, but you can use Malta Dynamics fall protection equipment in these scenarios for extra caution.
Businesses are free to exceed OSHA and ANSI standards, but you will not receive a fine if your team members do not use fall protection equipment around portable ladders.
