Safewaze Latitude Edge SRLs are designed for use in environments where a fall could occur. The purpose is to prevent the fall or limit the potential
fall arrest forces as much as possible. A variety of connection and conguration options are available to suit any user’s preference or jobsite
requirements (See Table 1). Applications include, but are not limited to: roong, concrete, steel, MEP, and industrial maintenance.
ANSI Z359.14 Safety Requirements for Self-Retracting Devices for Personal Fall Arrest and Rescue Systems
OSHA 1926.502 Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices
• Capacity: Safewaze Self Retracting Lifelines are designed in compliance with ANSI Z359.14 to meet the weight capacity range of
(130-310 lbs.), OSHA( Up to 420 lbs.).
•Anchorage: Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall have a strength capable of sustaining static loads applied in the directions
permitted by the system of at least:
1. 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) for non-certied anchorages, or
2. Two times the maximum arresting force for certied anchorages.
When more than one fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths set forth in (1) and (2) above shall be multiplied by the
number of systems attached to the anchorage.
From OSHA 1926.500 and 1910.66:
Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest systems shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend
platforms, and capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) per user attached, or be designed, installed, and used as part of a
complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two, and is under the supervision of a qualied person.
TABLE 3 - ANSI STANDARDS / OSHA REGULATIONS
• Locking Speed: The nature of this equipment requires su󰀩cient space in the working area to allow for the SRL to lock. Working in small or
conned spaces may keep the user’s body from reaching the speed needed to lock the SRL during a fall. Working on slowly shifting
materials, such as grain or sand, may not allow the speed needed to cause the SRL to lock.
•Swing Falls: As the user moves laterally away from an overhead anchor point, the risks related to swing falls increase. The force of
striking an object involving swing fall can in some instances generate more forces than a fall with the user wearing no fall protection
equipment. Minimize swing falls by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
•Free Fall: Safewaze SRLs when used correctly with the unit anchored directly overhead and no slack in the lifeline, will limit the free fall
distance to 0 ft. (0 cm). To limit free fall distances, keep attachment of the SRL below Dorsal D-ring height to as minimal a distance as
possible. Safewaze Latitude Edge SRLs are designed to allow for foot level tie-o󰀨, but never anchor the SRL at a level below the
user’s feet.
•Fall Clearance: Figure 6 Illustrates a Fall Clearance Calculation. Fall Clearance (FC) is the total combined values of Free Fall (FF),
Deceleration Distance (DD), and a Safety Factor (SF). Safety Factor calculations may di󰀨er by manufacturer, but for the
purposes of this manual, the Safety Factor is calculated at 1.5 ft.. The Safety Factor includes D-ring shift and Harness Stretch.
Tables 7 and 8 in this manual indicate the Minimum Fall Clearance when the Latitude Edge SRLs are anchored overhead. Table 7 covers
users in the 130 lbs. to 310 lbs. range (Per ANSI), while Table 8 covers users in the 310 lbs. up to 420 lbs. (Per OSHA). For falls
from a kneeling or crouched position an additional 3 ft (1 m) of Fall Clearance is required. If a Swing Fall Hazard exists, the total vertical
fall distance will be greater than if the user had fallen directly under the anchor point. Section 3 and Table 9 in this manual provide
information regarding Swing Fall hazards and additional Fall Clearance Requirements.
1.1 PURPOSE
1.2 STANDARDS
Safewaze SRLs conform to the national standard(s) identied on their ID label. Refer to local, state, and federal (OSHA) requirements for additional
information concerning the governing of occupational safety regarding Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS). Examples of Latitude Edge SRL labeling
are located on (Page 16) of this manual.

TABLE 4 - INSPECTION SCHEDULE PER ANSI Z359.14
1. Authorized Person: Aperson assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where such person will be exposed to a fall hazard.
2. Rescuer: Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.
NOTE: SOME SPECIALTY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. CONTACT SAFEWAZE WITH
QUESTIONS.
IMPORTANT: Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated components and subsystems in your personal fall
arrest system.
•Sharp Edges: Safewaze Latitude Edge SRLs are designed for use in Leading Edge Environments. If the specic work area has extremely
sharp edge(s) that may come into contact with the lifeline constituent of the SRL, the sharp edge(s) should be covered with a protective
material.
•Hazards: Extra precautions should be taken if this equipment is used in an environment where hazards exist. Hazards can include but are
not limited to: moving machinery, high voltage equipment or power lines, caustic chemicals, corrosive environments, toxic or explosive
gases, or high heat. Avoid working in an area where overhead equipment or personnel could fall and contact the user, fall protection
equipment, or the lifeline. Areas where the user’s lifeline may cross or tangle with the lifeline of another user should be avoided. Do not
allow the lifeline to pass under arms or between the user’s legs.
2.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY
Either the Authorized Person¹ (User) or the Rescuer² must inspect this equipment prior to each use. The Inspection Table (Table 4), should be used
to determine proper inspection frequency. The Inspection Form (Page 18) describes proper inspection procedures. The Competent Person should
record inspection results in the Inspection Form and retain a copy for records. (NOTE: User is advised to make copies of the Inspection Form on Page
18 of this manual prior to lling out the form for the rst time). Copies of the Inspection Form can be used for later Inspections. Annual inspections by a
Competent Person other than the user must be recorded in the Inspection Log (Page 19).
2.2 FALL PROTECTION & RESCUE PLAN
When using this equipment, employers must create and maintain a Fall Protection and Rescue Plan, and provide the means to implement those plans.
The plans must be communicated to equipment users, authorized persons, and rescuers. These plans must meetANSI Z359.2 “Minimum Requirements
for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program.” They should include the requirements and guidelines for the employer’s managed Fall
Protection Program. This would include eliminating and controlling fall hazards, duties and training, policies, fall protection procedures, rescue
procedures, incident investigations, and evaluation of the program’s e󰀨ectiveness.
2.3 NORMAL OPERATIONS
During normal operations, the lifeline constituent of the SRL will extend and retract freely with no slack or hesitation as the worker moves at normal
speeds. In the event of a fall, Safewaze SRLs are equipped with a speed sensing braking system. The braking system will activate, stopping the fall,
and absorbing much of the energy created by the fall. Due to the speed sensing braking system, user(s) should avoid quick or sudden movements,
as this may cause the SRL to inadvertently lock. If the user is performing operations near the end of the working length of the SRL, a reserve line is
incorporated within the SRL to reduce fall arrest forces.
2.4 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS
Safewaze Fall Protection Equipment is designed for use with Safewaze components and subsystems only. A Qualied Person should make the
determination of Safewaze equipment compatibility with equipment not manufactured by Safewaze. Replacement or substitution of equipment not
manufactured by Safewaze, may degrade, or reduce the safety and reliability of the complete system.
2.5 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open, regardless of how they become oriented. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be
capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components (See Figure 1). Do
not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (See Figure 1). Connectors must be compatible in
size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze if you have any
questions about compatibility.

Copyright Safewaze 2022
Page 6
FIGURE 1 - UNINTENTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the gate of the
snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or carabiner presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3).
This allows the snap hook or carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.
FIGURE 2 - INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS
2.6 MAKING CONNECTIONS
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/or twist lock. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and
strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specied in each product’s user’s instructions. (See Figure 2) for
examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
• To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
• In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of Tie-Back hooks). NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to
objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a
3,600 lbs. (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
• In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor, and
without visual conrmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.
• To each other.
• By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as allowed for Tie-Back models
• To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that
roll-out could occur.
• In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
2.7 BODY SUPPORT
Only a Full Body Harness (FBH) may be used with this equipment. The Full Body Harness must connect to the Latitude Edge SRL via the dorsal D-ring.
Safewaze SRLs are not rated for use with a body belt. Use of Safewaze SRLs with a body belt may result in injury. Figure 3 illustrates typical connection
of Safewaze SRLs to the Dorsal D-ring of the Full Body Harness.

FIGURE 3 - SRL TO HARNESS CONNECTION EXAMPLES
2.8 LEADING EDGE SRLs
Latitude Edge SRLs have Leading Edge capabilities, and are tested in accordance with ANSI Z359.14 - 2014. Latitude Edge SRLs are tested for
horizontal use and falls over a steel edge without burrs. They have been designed for use in situations where a fall may occur over steel edges.
Use of a Leading Edge SRL requires extra precautions which the user must observe:
• A fall over an edge may require specialized rescue measures.
• The anchor point for Leading Edge SRLs must be situated at the same height, or higher than the edge over which a fall may occur. An
anchor point below the level of the edge is dangerous, as they cause the lifeline to redirect at a sharper than 90-degree angle
(See Figure 4).
• The user(s) must not work on the far side of an opening opposite the Leading Edge SRL anchor point.
• The redirection angle of the lifeline at an edge over which a fall may occur shall be at least 90 degrees (See Figure 4).
• In evaluating your Leading Edge operations, ensure that work parameters are within the Maximum Free Fall Distance, Minimum Setback
Distance, and Minimum Fall Clearance Required in a fall over an edge. These parameters are indicated on the Latitude Edge Labeling.
• Refer to Section 2.0 of this manual for information on the limitations regarding use of this equipment. Work area relative to the anchor point,
swing fall hazards, abrasion of the lifeline constituent on the edge, and a single anchor point, rather than an anchor point that allows
horizontal movement, must all be considered.

Fall Clearance Calculation for Latitude Edge SRLs:
• Figure 5 Illustrates a typical Leading Edge Hazard with key distances represented by the Letters A, B, and C. The Letter A represents the
Setback Distance of the anchor point to which the Leading Edge SRL is attached. Letter B represents the distance along the Leading Edge
where the user could be performing work operations. Finally, Letter C represents the Fall Clearance distance required based upon the
values of Letters A and B.
• Table 5 provides Fall Clearance distances required when using a Safewaze Latitude Edge SRL. To determine your Fall
Clearance requirements, nd the value for your Setback Distance for Letter A on the left side of the chart. Determine your distance
along the edge where work operations will be performed and select the appropriate value (B) at the top of the chart.
The point where these two values intersect within the chart, is the required Leading Edge fall clearance distance.

3.0 SWING FALLS
An anchorage point located in a position that is not directly over the user’s fall location results in a Swing Fall (See Figure 8). Swing falls may result in
the user striking an object with enough force to cause serious injury. Greater clearance is needed to ensure safety during a swing fall as vertical fall
distance will be greater than a fall originating directly below the anchorage point. For help determining additional required fall clearance due to Swing
Fall, (See Table 9).

Copyright Safewaze 2022 Page 11
Allowable Work Zone Allowable Work Zone with Enhanced Caution
Using Table 9:
Table 9 provides the ability for the user to determine additional fall
clearance requirements if a Swing Fall Hazard is present when using the Latitude
Edge SRL in an overhead application. The Green Cell bordered in White at the
center of the Table represents the Dorsal D-ring of the user’s Full Body Harness
(FBH). This cell is the intersection of the X and Y axes.
Example - Latitude Edge SRL Anchored Overhead:
Example represents the user anchored 4’ Overhead (Up along the Y
Axis) and 4’ Laterally (Along the XAxis). The intersection of these distances on
the chart indicate an additional 2’ of fall clearance required. This additional
required fall clearance must be added to the total fall clearance calculation in
Tables 7 and 8 on Page 9 of this manual.

WARNING: Contact Safewaze if you have questions regarding compatibility of this equipment that are not covered in this manual.
Do not alter or misuse this equipment. Some subsystem components could a󰀨ect the performance of the operation of this equipment.
Do not anchor this product to moving machinery, hazards that include chemical, electrical or gaseous characteristics. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in injury or death.
WARNING: Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your tness to safely absorb the shock from a fall
arrest. Age and tness seriously a󰀨ect a worker’s ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not
use Safewaze SRLs. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious injury or death.
5.0 USE
5.1 OPERATION
Inspect the SRL, as described in Section 8, before using the equipment. Refer to Figure 11 for common system connections used with SRL applications.
Depending on the SRL model, mount the SRL either to an approved anchor point or on the back of a Full Body Harness as described in Section 2.7.
Connect the snap hook, carabiner or Tie-Back attachment to a suitable anchorage. Ensure connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength.
Ensure hooks are fully closed and locked. When the worker is fully attached, the worker is then free to move about within the recommended working
area. If a fall occurs, the SRL will lock and arrest the fall. Upon rescue, remove the SRL from use. When working with an SRL, always allow the lifeline to
retract back into the device in a controlled manner. Do not release the unit to “free-spin” back into itself.
WARNING: Do not tie or knot the lifeline. Avoid lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. Inspect the lifeline frequently for
cuts, fraying, burns, or signs of chemical damage. Dirt, contaminants, and water can lower performance of the lifeline. Use caution
near power lines. Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury or death.
5.2 AFTER A FALL
Equipment exposed to the force of a fall, or that shows damage consistent with the e󰀨ects of a fall, must be removed from service immediately.
Equipment must then be repaired (See Section 7.1) if applicable or disposed of (See Section 8.5).
5.3 BODY SUPPORT
A full body harness must be worn when using Safewaze Latitude Edge SRLs.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a body belt for free fall applications. See OSHA 1926.502 for guidelines.
5.4 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Figure 11 illustrates some typical examples of harness and anchorage connections for Safewaze SRL FallArrest Systems. When using a snap hook
to make a connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur (See Figure 1). Do not use snap hooks or carabiners that will not completely close over the
anchor point. This includes traditional overhead anchor point tie-o󰀨, housing attachment to dorsal D-ring, and 100% tie-o󰀨. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with each system component.

5.6 DUAL LEG SRL
With the Dual Leg Safewaze SRL mounted on the back of a Full Body Harness, the user can have continuous fall protection (100 % tie-o󰀨) while
ascending, descending, or moving laterally (See Figure 12).With the lifeline leg of one SRL attached to an anchorage point, the worker can
move to a new location, attach the unused lifeline leg of the other SRL to another anchorage point, and then disconnect from the original anchorage
point (See Figure 12).
IMPORTANT: Never connect more than one person at a time to the dual-leg system.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the lifelines to pass under arms or between legs.
6.0 SPECIFICATIONS
6.1 PERFORMANCE

8.1 BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. Inspect the unit to ensure it has not been damaged and that the unit pays out
and retracts properly. Prior to each use, the braking system must be inspected. Grasp the body of the unit in one hand and the cable/web in the other.
With a quick, jerking motion, pull down on the web/cable. The brake should engage, stopping movement almost immediately. Inspect the webbing
and/or cable (using the Inspection FORM on Page 18) and ensure that all connection hardware is working properly. Brake failure or unsatisfactory
results during any portion of the inspection, require immediate removal of the SRL from service. Figure 15 points out key inspection areas of the
Latitude Edge 11’ SRL.
8.0 INSPECTION
7.3 STORAGE
Store Safewaze SRLs in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect the SRL
after any period of extended storage.
7.1 SERVICE
Remove the SRL from use if the SRL has been subjected to fall arrest forces or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition. If unrepairable
dispose of the SRL as recommended in Section 8.5.
7.2 CLEANING
Cleaning procedures for Safewaze SRLs are as follows:
Periodically clean the exterior of the SRL using water and a mild soap solution. Clean labels to maintain readability.
An excessive buildup of debris on the cable may prevent the cable lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing and create a potential free fall
hazard.
Clean cable using an acid-free oil or petroleum jelly at regular intervals. Always wear gloves when servicing/inspecting steel cable SRLs.
7.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, AND STORAGE
IMPORTANT: If the lifeline comes in contact with acids or other caustic chemicals, remove the SRL from service and wash with
water and a mild soap solution. Inspect the SRL (using the Inspection Form on Page 18) before returning to service.
8.2 INSPECTION FREQUENCY
Safewaze SRLs must be inspected at the intervals dened in Section 2.1. Inspection procedures are covered in the “Inspection Form”
(See Page 18). Annual inspections by a Competent Person other than the user must be recorded in the Inspection Log on page 19 of this manual.
8.3 UNSAFE OR DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS
Figure 14 shows examples of equipment damage. Equipment inspectors must be trained to look for damage as indicated in Figure 14, as well as other
damage that may occur. If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition remove the SRL from service.
8.4 PRODUCT LIFE
The working life of Safewaze SRLs is determined by work conditions, care and inspection provided. If the SRL passes inspection, it may remain in
service.
8.5 DISPOSAL
Dispose of the Safewaze SRL if it has been damaged by fall arrest forces or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition that cannot be repaired
by an authorized Safewaze Service Center. Before disposing of the SRL, cut the cable lifeline in half so that it is not mistakenly reused.
