Fall Indicator Labels
The fall indicator label for Internal, ElasTech, Heavyweight and
Ironman SAL’s are Located at the base of the “scrunched” Shock-
absorber element. In the image below, the top view is of an intact label.
The lower view is from an SAL that has been involved in a fall. If your
indicator label looks like the one in the bottom view, remove the lanyard
from service immediately. See Figure 10.1 below.
Fig 10.1 – Internal SAL Indicator Label
The fall indicator label used in “pack-style” SAL’s such as ClearPack,
SoftPack and WrapTech is concealed inside the shock absorber
element. In the event of a fall the shock-absorber will expand beyond
the protective cover, and the fall indicator label will be visible. This label
is shown on the next page in Figure 10.2.
