Soundstage Permanents

Inspect all fall protection equipment prior to use

Locate an anchorage point for the self-retracting lanyard (SRL). Single-user anchorage points are located on the soundstage trusses and have been identified with a yellow tag

Select an anchorage point as close as possible to where you are working to avoid or limit a swing fall

Connect the SRL to the anchorage point with a self-locking carabiner

Attach the double-locking snap hook from the SRL to the “D” ring located on the back of your harness

Avoid quick or sudden movements in any direction to prevent loss of balance from line tension or locking

The SRL maintains normal line tension when line is being steadily extracted and retracted. Do not allow the SRL to go slack

Practice using your attached SRL on the catwalk. This will familiarize you with the tension and locking actions of the system and make you aware of the forces applied to your body by the line during movement

If you need to move farther than the SRL will allow, return to the catwalk and find another anchorage point

Never try to increase the length of an SRL by attaching it to another SRL.Never detach from the SRL until you are safely back on the catwalk
