Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs)
A Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) is a fall protection device that automatically extends and retracts, providing mobility while ensuring immediate fall arrest. SRLs are commonly used in construction, confined space entry, and industrial safety.
How SRLs Work
Types of Self-Retracting Lifelines
🔹 Standard SRLs – Used for fall arrest in general work-at-height situations.
🔹 Leading Edge (LE) SRLs – Designed for sharp-edge environments where the lifeline may come into contact with an edge.
🔹 Sealed SRLs – Water and debris-resistant for extreme environments (marine, construction, etc.).
🔹 Rescue & Retrieval SRLs – Includes a built-in winch for raising/lowering a worker in confined spaces.
🔹 Personal SRLs – Compact, lightweight units that attach directly to the worker’s harness.
Key Features of SRLs
✅ Instant Fall Arrest – Stops a fall within inches, reducing impact force.
✅ Automatic Retraction – Keeps the lifeline taut, reducing tripping hazards.
✅ Durable Materials – Typically made of galvanized steel or Kevlar webbing for strength.
✅ Swivel Snap Hooks – Prevents twisting and ensures secure attachment.
✅ Shock Absorption System – Minimizes impact forces on the worker’s body.
Common Applications
✔ Construction & Roofing – Ensures worker safety on elevated surfaces.
✔ Confined Space Entry & Rescue – Used with tripod and davit systems for fall protection.
✔ Industrial Maintenance – Essential for workers at height in factories, bridges, and towers.
✔ Tower & Wind Energy Work – Provides safety during wind turbine maintenance.
Standards & Compliance
A confined space is defined as a work environment with limited or restricted entry and exit, typically characterized by access points smaller than 24 inches in diameter. All job sites classified as confined spaces must be equipped with OSHA-approved rescue equipment to ensure the safe retrieval of employees who may be unable to exit the hazardous area without assistance.
Over the years, our vendor partners have introduced numerous innovative fall protection and confined space rescue and descent products, many of which have become industry standards. Each of our rescue and descent systems is designed in close collaboration with end-users to address specific application needs. This approach ensures enhanced comfort, greater productivity, and full OSHA compliance, prioritizing worker safety at heights.
