How to Inspect Your Self Retracting Lifeline Correctly

Inspecting your equipment is an essential action when ensuring safety. There’s no point in wearing a lifeline if it’s going to fail when you need it. Using old or inadequate safety materials can have a detrimental outcome if a fall occurs. It’s important to inspect your gear prior to each and every use; your life is literally on the line, so take the time to examine your equipment.

Here are some tips on how to successfully check over your self-retracting lifeline.

1. Examine Metal Components
   • The Fall Indicator: located at the connection point on your SRL. When the force indicator has been tripped, it indicates that fall-like impact forces have been applied on the self-retracting lifeline. If the fall indicator has been tripped, you will see a red indicator at the connection point and the device should be immediately removed from service.
   • The Snap Hook: Ensure the mechanism opens and closes properly. Press on the gate to confirm it cannot be forced open. Please check to validate that the snap hook is not bent or deformed in any way.
2. Inspect the Housing:
   • Ensure all fasteners are present and tight.
   • Inspect the label for serial number, batch number, manufacture date and part number.

3. Inspect the Cable:

1. • If the cable gets tangled in the housing, it is no longer adequate for arresting a fall.
   • Inspect the entire length of the cable for cuts, burns, frays, kinks, or tears.

4. Perform a Strike Test:
   • Grip the handle and quickly pull downward on the cable, place all the force above the fall indicator so you do not accidentally trigger it.
   • This will test the braking mechanism of your SRL.

If you follow these tips and perform regular inspections, you will keep your SRL healthy for years of use. We also have handy downloadable safety inspection forms to help guide you through your SRL examination.
