Fall Prevention: Safety lanyards are essential components of fall arrest systems. These fall arrest lanyards connect the worker's harness to anchor point, allowing freedom of movement while providing a reliable means of stopping a fall.
Shock Absorption: Shock-absorbing lanyards are designed to reduce the impact force on the body and anchor points during a fall, helping to prevent injuries to the worker and minimizing stress on the fall arrest system.
Choose a fall arrest harness lanyard based on factors such as the type of work being performed, the required mobility, shock absorption needs, and compatibility with the harness and anchor points.
Inspect retractable harness lanyards before each use for signs of wear, cuts, abrasions, or damage that could affect their strength and reliability. Follow safety lanyard manufacturers' guidelines for inspection intervals and criteria for retiring lanyards based on usage and conditions.
The load capacity of a sling depends on its material, width, and configuration. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and markings on the sling to ensure it is suitable for the intended load.
