Why You Should Be Using an SRL vs a Lanyard

It's time to swap out the less expensive lanyards as part of your fall protection program and updating to a safer retractable or SRL. Take a lot of the variables out of falling at heights.

This has expanded my knowledge and made me so much more safe and prepared to calculate and make adjustments to each and ever job needing fall protection.

That’s great news and thank you for sharing. We appreciate you watching the video!

What about a slow fall/slide that you can’t get under control. Will the retractable stop you or will it let you keep sliding? I like the concept of the retractable, but I also like to be locked in with a traditional harness that will stop me pretty much where I want to stop. Thank You!

Everything you're saying makes perfect sense but all the leading edge SRLs I've seen still require 17 feet or so of fall clearance. So is it really that much better?

Doesn’t apply to ladders in a wind turbine. It’s a requirement for us.

SRL should never be used on certain situations can you talk about that please?
