A single-leg SRL is appropriate when the worker can remain connected to one compatible anchorage throughout the task. A dual-leg SRL can help maintain continuous fall protection while the worker transitions between approved anchor points. The unused leg must be handled and parked according to the manufacturer's instructions. Device weight, connector type, anchorage compatibility, worker movement, and fall clearance should be considered before selection.
Web lifelines are lightweight and commonly used for compact SRLs and harness-mounted PFLs. Wire-rope or steel-cable lifelines can provide increased abrasion resistance and may be offered in longer lengths or sealed units for demanding environments. However, metal lifelines may not be appropriate near electrical hazards. Consider sharp edges, welding, heat, moisture, chemicals, corrosion, electrical exposure, weight, and required length when choosing the lifeline material.
