FALL DISTANCE CALCULATION

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION

SAFEHOLD SRL/RTFA'S

are designed in conjunction

with SAFEHOLD approved

components.

Replacing or substituting any

components in a system could

reduce the effectiveness of a

system, and must not be done.

The device will arrest a fall within

2m. Do not use when this is less

than 3m ground clearance below

the users feet. This does not take

into consideration any swing fall or

additional fall distance if the user

is not working directly below the

anchorage. For further information,

please contact SAFEHOLD.

Never work outside of a 30 degree

cone created from the device

through vertical, if a fall were to

occur the device would lock

and the user would swing like a

pendulum and may sustain injury

from this hazard.

Inspect the fall arrest block, lifeline,

hook and anchorage for signs of

wear, deformation, damage or

corrosion.

Pull line sharply to engage brakes

and ensure the brakes lock before

each and every use.

Pull out line to ensure that it pays

out and recoils smoothly. Ensure

that the webbing is free from cuts,

abrasion and wear marks.Check

steel cable for damage, kinks and

rust. Check shock pack on LE

device for signs of deployment.

Ensure hook swivels and twist gate

operates and closes correctly.

Ensure hook load indicator is not

deployed. If the red section is

visible, the SRL/RTFA must be

removed from service immediately.

Check the user instructions are

clear and legible. If the webbing

becomes wet in use, ensure

webbing is extended and left to dry

naturally.

To clean the housing or webbing,

a mild detergent can be used

with warm or cold water. The

webbing must be extended from

the device and left to dry naturally.

Ensure that SRL/RTFA certication

is current before use, the block

must have been inspected within

the last 12 months (6 months if

used in corrosive or off-shore

environments).

If for any reason the inspection of

this block shows signs for concern

or doubt then the block must be

quarantined and removed from

service immediately. Advice should

be sought from the supervisor and

if still concerned the block must be

sent to the supplier, an approved

service agent or the manufacturer

for evaluation or disposal. If the

device is to be discarded, the

webbing or cable must be cut

through to prevent further use. If

this is necessary, cut the webbing

at the hook end above the shock

absorber allowing the webbing to

be retracted into the device.
