ManSafe SRL user instructions
Contact Latchways if there are any concerns regarding the use, maintenance, applications or
operation of this device.
Intended purpose: The ManSafe SRL, in accordance with EN/ANSI/CSA standards, is
intended to be used as a connecting element within a personal fall arrest system. It must be
used vertically in situations where user mobility is required and fall protection is needed. The
Mini SRL is a personal issue item. The ManSafe Retriever SRL is intended to be used where
an integral means of retrieving a casualty is required in the case of a fall, e.g. in confined space
environments.
Product limitations: The ManSafe SRL shall only be used within it's limitations and for the purpose
for which it is intended. No attempt shall be made to modify or repair the equipment. All instructions
shall be followed to ensure the safety of the User. Authorised repairs are to be conducted by
a Technician.
1. ManSafe SRLs are for a single user only, only one person can be connected at any time.
2. ManSafe SRLs must be protected from fire, acids, caustic solutions, welding flames, sparks
or similar.
3. ManSafe SRLs shall not be used if there is any risk of the device contacting high voltage
power lines. This warning also applies to webbing-type devices, as moisture can be absorbed
by the lifeline providing a path for electrical current.
4. ManSafe SRLs shall only be used within a cage when a risk assesment has considered the
risk of striking the cage during a fall.
5. ManSafe SRL's retrieval function (where present) is intended for use in lifting a single casualty
in an emergency (e.g. following a fall). It must not be used for lifting material or equipment,
lifting multiple users or for man-riding purposes.
Personnel requirements: The ManSafe SRL shall only be used by a person who is trained and
competent in its safe use. Fitness and age significantly affect a person's ability to safely withstand
fall arrest loads. Only people who are physically and mentally fit and healthy, not under the influence
of drugs or alcohol, are suitable to use this equipment. Medical advice should be sought if a User's
suitability is unclear. The ManSafe SRL shall not be used by pregnant women or minors.
