SRL
Inspect for loose bolts and bent or damaged parts.
(Figure 13)
Inspect Housing (A) for distortion, cracks, or other damage.
Inspect the Swivel Eye (B) for distortion, cracks, or other damage. The Swivel Eye should be attached
securely to the SRL, but should pivot freely.
The Lifeline (C) should pull out and retract fully without hesitation or creating a slack line condition.
Ensure device locks up when lifeline is jerked sharply. Lockup should be positive with no slipping.
The labels must be present and fully legible (see Figure 18).
Look for signs of corrosion on the entire unit.
Swivel Snap Hook & Impact
Inspect the Swivel Snap Hook for signs of damage, corrosion, and working condition. Swivel should
Indicator
rotate freely. Inspect the Impact Indicator. If the Red Band is displayed (Indicated Mode), impact
(Figure 14)
loading has occurred and the SRL must be removed from service and inspected. Do not attempt to
reset the Impact Indicator. Return the SRL to an authorized service center for resetting. NOTE: The
Swivel will not turn freely when the Impact Indicator is in Indicated Mode.
Wire Rope Lifeline
Inspect wire rope for cuts, kinks (A), broken wires (B), bird-caging (C), welding splatter, (D) corrosion,
(Figure 15)
chemical contact areas, or severely abraded areas. Slide the Cable Bumper (E) up and inspect ferrules
(F) for cracks or damage and inspect the wire rope for corrosion and broken wires. Replace the wire
rope assembly if there are six or more randomly distributed broken wires in one lay, or three or more
broken wires in one strand in one lay. A "lay" of wire rope is the length of wire rope it takes for a
strand (the larger groups of wires) to complete one revolution or twist along the rope. Replace the
wire rope assembly if there are any broken wires within 1 inch (25 mm) of the ferrules.
With the Cable Bumper up, unroll and inspect the Use Instruction Label (G). The label should be
present and fully legible (see Figure 18).
Inspect the Reserve Lifeline payout. If a fall has been arrested with most of the lifeline out, the
Reserve Lifeline may have been deployed. Pull the lifeline out of the SRL until it stops. If a red band
(H) is visible, the Reserve Lifeline is spent and the unit must be serviced by an authorized service
center before reuse.
Rope Lifeline
Inspect rope for abrasion (A), cut strands (B), pulled strands (C), melting or glazing (D), compression
(Figure 16)
(E), inconsistent diameter (F), and discoloration or degradation (G). Slide the lifeline Bumper (H) up
and inspect for cut strands.
With the Cable Bumper up, unroll and inspect the the Use Instruction Label (I). The label should be
present and fully legible (see Figure 18).
Inspect the Reserve Lifeline payout. If a fall has been arrested with most of the lifeline out, the
Reserve Lifeline may have been deployed. Pull the lifeline out of the SRL until it stops. If a warning
label (J) is visible, the Reserve Lifeline is spent and the unit must be serviced by an authorized service
center before reuse.
SRL-LE Energy Absorber
On Self-Retracting Lanyards with Leading Edge capability (SRL-LEs) verify that the integral Energy
(Figure 17)
Absorber has not been activated. An open cover (A) or torn cover (B), webbing pulled out of the
cover (C), torn (D) or frayed webbing (E), ripped stitching, etc. are indicators of an activated Energy
Absorber.
Modular Hardware
Inspect modular connection components for proper operation. Using the procedures in Section 3.4,
confirm the female connector locks move freely when depressed and they securely capture male
connectors when the male and female components are assembled. Inspect for signs of damage,
corrosion, and working condition. Inspect the locks and springs to ensure they are intact and function
correctly.
