SRL Fall Protection Inspection

SRL Fall Protection Inspection


Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL), sometimes referred to as a Self-Retracting Lanyard or Inertia reel, refers to a fantastic fall-arrest system that provides reliable protection and support for manual work. An SRL prevents a fall by locking onto a line when there is a sudden taut jerk on the line, as opposed to merely absorbing a fall. Due to the serious nature and function of an SRL, SRL fall protection inspections are of high importance to ensure devices are all in perfect working order.

SRL’s allow for free movement by extending the line if the action is natural, and locking the line once it is unnatural, in the event of a fall. Neglecting to have your SRL correctly inspected and serviced could cause the locking mechanism to fail, making the SRL redundant in the case of a fall. At Newcastle Safety Servicing, we inspect all SRL devices and provide maintenance, repairs or replacements.

Our Experience with SRL Fall Protection Inspection & Servicing

The requirement for the maintenance of SRL’s and other fall-arrest systems and devices is included in AS/NZS1891.4 2009, making inspections of the utmost importance when it comes to fall protection. Personal equipment SRL’s should be checked before and after each use by a height safety operator or by another competent person. These regular checks do not need to be documented. However, routine SRL fall protection inspections will be recorded.

SRL fall protection systems need to be externally inspected every 3 to 6 months and have a full inspection and service as recommended by the original manufacturer. Inspections and services need to be carried out by a trained and competent height safety equipment officer. At Newcastle Safety Servicing all our inspectors are fully trained and competent height safety equipment technicians. We will ensure your SRL’s comply with the NSW state-wide regulations of height safety equipment maintenance.
