The Safety Direct RDCO30P is a 30-foot self-retracting descender (SRD) designed to provide controlled fall arrest with enhanced worker mobility. Unlike fixed-length lanyards, the SRD automatically pays out and retracts lifeline as the worker moves, maintaining tension and reducing free-fall distance. This makes it an ideal solution for roofing, ladder access, and elevated work areas where movement and clearance management are critical.
30 ft Working Length
Provides extended reach for rooftop and structural tie-off applications while maintaining controlled retraction and rapid locking during a fall event.
Controlled Self-Retracting Design
The internal braking mechanism engages instantly during a fall, limiting arrest forces and helping reduce swing and impact risk compared to traditional lanyards.

Why Use an SRD Instead of a Lanyard?
SRDs maintain a shorter arrest distance by staying taut as the worker moves. This helps reduce free-fall, lower arrest forces, and improve mobility—especially important when working near edges or with limited clearance.
Built for Active Rooftop Work
The RDCO30P is well-suited for crews who need freedom of movement without sacrificing fall-arrest performance. Its self-retracting action makes it easier to stay productive while maintaining continuous protection.
- Automatic payout & retraction: Moves with the worker for hands-free mobility.
- Fast-acting brake: Locks quickly during a fall to limit arrest distance.
- Versatile application: Ideal for roof edges, ladders, and elevated access points.
