Product Specific Applications
Personal Fall Arrest: Diablo SRL may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in Fall Arrest
applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum permitted free fall is 2’ (SRL may be positioned no more than 2’
below harness dorsal D-ring or 2’ above anchor point). Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: Diablo SRL may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers
from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of
lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of

WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
Permitted weight capacity varies based on regulation. For all applications, worker weight capacity
range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is as follows:
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be
sufficient clearance below the
anchorage connector to arrest
a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When
calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 2’
safety factor, deceleration
distance, user height, length
of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch
and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example
fall clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation
or use, make considerations for
eliminating or minimizing all
swing fall hazards. Swing falls
occur when the anchor is not
directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always
work as close to in line with
the anchor point as possible.
Swing falls significantly
increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death in the
event of a fall.
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing worker falling
directly in-line with anchor point. Always consider potential swing fall
and other hazards when calculating fall clearance.
