the second person may be pulled off the working surface due to deflection. The potential for the second person
falling increases as the horizontal lifeline span length increases. The use of independent horizontal lifeline systems
for each person, or shorter span length, is recommended to minimize the potential of the second person falling.
FREE FALL: The personal fall arrest system must be rigged to limit free falls to 2 m. or less when using an energy
absorbing lanyard, or such that the SRL is overhead without slack.
SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where the connecting subsystem or other system components will be in contact
with, or abrade against, unprotected sharp edges. If working around sharp edges is unavoidable, a protective
cover must be used to prevent cutting of the personal fall arrest system components.
IN THE EVENT OF A FALL: The responsible party must have a rescue plan and the ability to implement a rescue.
Tolerable suspension time in a full body harness is limited, so a prompt rescue is critical.
RESCUE: With the number of potential scenarios for a worker requiring rescue, an on-site rescue team is benefi-
cial. The rescue team is given the tools, both in equipment and technique, to perform a successful rescue. Training
should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuers' proficiency.
SYSTEM REMOVAL: When no longer required, the horizontal lifeline system should be removed from the job site.
Release tension on the horizontal lifeline:
Pull on the release lever under the handle on the ratchet tensioner and open the handle fully. This will release the
lock and allow the webbing safety line to rotate within the hub. Remove the webbing safety line from the anchor-
age points and roll the webbing up from the long end towards the center. Fold all the parts of the webbing line into
the storage bag including the instructions and close.
It is the responsibility of all users of this equipment to understand these instructions, and to be trained in the cor-
rect installation, use, and maintenance of this equipment. These individuals must be aware of the consequences of
improper installation or use of this equipment. This user manual is not a substitute for a comprehensive training
program. Training must be provided on a periodic basis to ensure proficiency of the users.
BEFORE EACH INSTALLATION: Inspect all system components according to these or other manufacturer's
instructions. System components must be formally inspected by a qualified person, other than the user, at least
annually. Formal inspections should concentrate on visible signs of deterioration or damage to the system com-
ponents. Items found to be defective must be replaced. Do not use components if inspection reveals an unsafe or
defective condition. Record results of each inspection in the inspection and maintenance log of this manual.
INSTALLED SYSTEMS: An inspection of the horizontal lifeline system by a qualified person must be conducted
after the system is installed. The system must be periodically inspected by a qualified person when left installed
for an extended period, and prior to each day's use. Periodic inspections should be performed at least monthly, or
more frequently when site conditions and use warrant. Inspections of installed systems should include the inspec-
tion steps listed.
BEFORE SYSTEM USE:
Inspect all metal components (hooks, O-rings, ratchet tensioner, etc.) for cracks, deformities, corrosion, or other
damage that may affect their strength or operation. Inspect webbing for cuts, edge wear tears, burns, abrasion,
and chemical contamination. Webbing abrasion over the edges whilst under tension may cause damage to outer
fibres leading to possible failure. Inspect system labels. The labels must be present and fully legible.
IMPORTANT: If this equipment is subjected to the forces of a fall arrest, it must be removed from service and
destroyed, or returned to Capital Safety for inspection or repair.
If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove unit from service and destroy, or contact Capital
Safety for possible repair.
IMPORTANT: Only Capital Safety or parties authorized in writing may make repairs to this equipment.
USER EQUIPMENT: Inspect harness and energy absorbing lanyard or SRL according to manufacturer's instruction.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: Clean the Web horizontal lifeline system with water and a mild detergent. Wipe
dry with a clean, dry cloth and hang to air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An excessive build-up of dirt, paint, etc.
may prevent the system from working properly, and in severe cases, weaken the web.
STORAGE: Store this horizontal lifeline system in a clean, dry environment, out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas
where chemical vapors are present. Thoroughly inspect the system after extended storage.
USER EQUIPMENT: Maintain, service, and store user equipment according to manufacturer's instructions.
