Retractable Lifelines
Cable Condition
Examine the cable by pulling it out fully and inspecting it over its entire length. Check that it is free of rust and broken wires. Let the cable spool up slowly and note any problems while spooling. Check the plastic guide where the cable enters the housing and ensure that it is not worn out and is still protecting the cable from harm.
Storage & Tag Lines
Ensure that the unit is equipped with a tag line so the cable can be stored inside the unit when it is not in use. Make sure that any cover used to keep the unit clean does not interfere with the cable. Full body harnesses should not be left hanging on the life line.
Date of Last Service
