Join hosts Chris Byron, aka 'That Guy', and Mike Cameron, Werner's technical genius, as they welcome Ray Mann, Global Senior Specialist Application Engineer at 3M, in this entertaining and informative video brought to you by Werner.

In this video, the team explores the science behind self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) and the evolving standards that impact how they’re used—especially for lighter-weight workers.

You’ll learn:

📉 Why ANSI has lowered the minimum working weight threshold to 110 lbs, and how that affects SRL performance
⚠️ The increased injury risk for workers under 110 lbs due to higher initial arrest forces
🧪 How data from 3M, the U.S. Naval Academy, and others is shaping safer fall protection standards
🏷️ What the new Class 1 vs. Class 2 SRL designations mean for your jobsite
🔍 Clarification on inspection grid myths, labeling, and component capacity markings

Whether you're a safety manager, compliance officer, or field supervisor, this video will help you understand the latest in SRL technology and how to apply it safely and effectively.
