Note that there is a difference between leading edge (“LE”) and non-leading edge rated fall protection equipment. With LE equipment, the lifeline material is typically larger, stronger, and more cut resistant. You can use LE rated products on a variety of edge surfaces, such as concrete, and they can be used on finished concrete with a rounded edge. A Competent Person must be involved in selecting the appropriate equipment for your application and have ownership of the setup, which involves training. You should feel free to consult with us about your application needs and reference the ANSI Z359 . ALL ANSI/ASSP Z359.14 LE devices MUST have a shock absorbing method between the worker and the SRL. There are also clearance requirements for LE rated products. Typically, more fall clearance is required because of added free fall distance when anchored at foot level. The exact clearance depends on product type, anchorage point location and user weight. For example, SRL-LE “They have highcapacity and uniform energy absorption designed to balance peak force, capacity and deflection.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AMERICA
