Shock absorbing lanyard

Lanyards are flexible lines with a connector at each end used to connect the anchorage to the body support component of a fall protection system. Lanyards must be connected to the back D-Ring for fall arrest, located between the shoulder blades and ideally should be anchored above the worker to minimize fall distance. The worker should not walk too far from the overhead anchorage or a swing fall may occur.

SHOCK ABSORBING LANYARDS
Lanyards used for fall protection must include a shock absorber to dissipate the energy of the fall, limiting the forces on the body of the falling user.

POSITIONING LANYARDS
Rope or web lanyards without shock absorbers may be used for applications that require positioning, restraint of a worker or if the fall possibility is less than 2 Ft.

DOUBLE LEG LANYARDS OR 100% TIE-OFF LANYARDS
This style lanyard (two lanyards that are connected at one end) is used to provide 100% tie-off. It allows you to stay connected and protected while you move from one location to another.
