Product Specific Applications

WARNING

!

Personal Fall Arrest: Velocity SRLs may be used in Personal Fall Arrest applications as a
component of a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). Structure must withstand loads
applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted.
SRL must always be positioned at or above harness dorsal D-ring AND at or below anchor point.
Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.

Restraint: Velocity SRLs may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers
from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of
lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.

(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-310 lbs.

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be

sufficient clearance below the
anchorage connector to arrest
a fall before the user strikes
the ground or an obstruction.
When calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 3’
safety factor, deceleration
distance, user height, length
of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch,
and all other applicable factors.

Diagram shown is an example
fall clearance calculation ONLY.

Swing Falls: Prior to installation

or use, make considerations for
eliminating or minimizing all
swing fall hazards. Swing falls
occur when the anchor is not
directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always
work as close to in line with
the anchor point as possible.
Swing falls significantly increase
the likelihood of serious injury
or death in the event of a fall.

injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.

For all applications: worker weight capacity range

Fall clearance calculation shown based on
