Overview of CSA Classifications for SRLs and Regulatory Changes as of June 12, 2013

Welcome to RuSafe, Inc. President Arleigh Robar discusses significant regulatory changes effective June 12, 2013, affecting Classifications of Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) as per CSA standards. Type I SRLs are under 10 ft, with a 1 m arrest distance, while Type II SRLs exceed 10 ft, necessitating specific limits on arrest distance and maximum arrest force. Type III SRLs include built-in retrieval features. The innovative Gate Strength Standard Z259.12-11 introduces a 16kN (3600 lbs) load test requirement for gates, enhancing safety standards in the industry.

  4. CSA Classifications Type I CSA designates SRLs that are under 10 ft. in length as a Type I CSA test is for an Arrest distance of 1 m (39 inches = 1 m) Device passes as long as it holds together Not required to have an impact indicator

  5. CSA Classifications Type II CSA designates SRLs more than 10 ft. in length as Type II CSA test requires the arrest distance to be limited to 1.4 m (54 inches) The MAF must be reduced to 8 kN (1800 lbs.) CSA test is for an Arrest distance of 1.2 m (48 inches) Device passes if it de-energizes the fall force to an MAF of 1800 lbs. or less Required to have an impact indicator

  6. CSA Classifications • Type III • CSA designates SRLs with a built in retrieval as Type III

  7. Basic Methods of Use Works on velocity Models range in weight usage up to 310 lbs (some manufacturer’s models up to 420 lbs) Many will stop your fall in inches/feet (This is not the CSA standard)

  8. Many Manufacturer’s Requirements for Use Free fall Limits 30 degrees from vertical

  9. Many Manufacturer’s Requirements for Use Horizontal Use

  10. Miss Understanding Usage Crouch Factor Add three feet to your fall distance when crouching down

  11. Innovative Technology

  12. New Gate Strength Standard Z259.12-11 The load test for gates will be 16kN (3600lbs)

  13. Something New
