Latchways ManSafe SRL Mode D'emploi page 7

System requirements: A fall arrest system comprises of a structural anchor point, full body
harness, connector (karabiner/snap hook) and SRL. All elements in the system shall be used only
as specified by the elements manufacturer. It is essential for safety that the anchor device and
anchor point shall always be positioned, and work carried out in such a way, to minimise both the
potential for a fall and potential fall distance.
Anchor point requirements

CSA
Note: If multiple fall arrest systems are attached to the same anchor point the strength
requirement shall be multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest systems.
Note: The Anchor point position shall consider any risks posed by moving machinery and
pendulum falls. To ensure positive locking of the ManSafe SRL a clear, unobstructed fall path is
necessary. Do not use the ManSafe SRL when working on materials such as sand or grain, as
insufficient fall speed may prevent lock in the event of a fall. It is essential to verify the free space
required beneath the User before each use, so that, in the event of a fall there will be no collision
with the ground or other obstacle. A minimum of 3 m (10 ft) from the working level to the nearest
obstruction, lower level or ground underneath a hazard should be maintained.
WARNING! Incompatible components can lead to connectors accidentally disengaging.
The User shall ensure all connectors are correctly engaged and locked.
1. Connectors shall conform to EN 362:2004, ANSI Z359.12-2009 and/or CSA Z259.12-11
and be self-closing and self-locking.
2. A full body harness conforming to EN 361:2002, ANSI Z359.1-2007 and/or CSA Z259.10-12
shall be worn when using the ManSafe SRL.
3. An emergency written rescue plan shall be in place, to be implemented in the event of a fall.
Cleaning, storage and transportation: Clean the ManSafe SRL exterior, lifeline and labels
(to maintain legibility) with warm water (max. 40ºC/100°F) and non-biological detergent then
rinse. An excessive build-up of dirt or paint etc. on the lifeline may compromise the retraction. If
the ManSafe SRL becomes wet, either from being in use or from cleaning, position the ManSafe
SRL such that any excess water can drain and leave to dry naturally away from direct heat. The
full body harness and any other system components shall be cleaned and stored according to
manufacturer's instructions. Store the ManSafe SRL in a cool, dry, clean environment, away from
direct sunlight. Examine the ManSafe SRL after long periods of storage prior to returning it to
service. During transportation the device shall be protected to prevent damage or contamination.
Alterations and additions: No alterations or additions are permitted without Latchways' prior
written consent.
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum load of 12 kN
(2700 lbs). Refer to EN 795:2012 or CEN/TS 16415:2013.
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum certified load
of 3600 lbs (16 kN) or 5000 lbs (22.2 kN) in the absence of
certification. Refer to ANSI Z359.14-2012 CLASS B.
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum load of 5000 lbs
(22.2 kN). Refer to CSA Z259.15
