Safety Lanyards & Energy Absorbers FAQs
What is a safety lanyard?
A safety lanyard is a connection device used within a fall protection system. It connects a worker's harness to an anchor point or other compatible equipment and may be used for fall arrest, work positioning or restraint applications depending on its design.
What is an energy absorbing lanyard?
An energy absorbing lanyard incorporates an energy absorber designed to help reduce the forces transmitted to the user and anchor system during a fall. These lanyards are commonly used in fall arrest systems where there is a risk of a fall occurring.
What is the difference between a restraint lanyard and a fall arrest lanyard?
Restraint lanyards are designed to prevent a worker from reaching a position where a fall could occur. Fall arrest lanyards are designed for situations where there is a risk of falling and are typically used with an energy absorber to help manage fall forces.
What are adjustable lanyards used for?
Adjustable lanyards allow the user to modify the working length of the lanyard to suit the task. They are commonly used for work positioning, restraint and other applications where flexibility and controlled movement are required.
How often should lanyards and energy absorbers be inspected?
Lanyards and energy absorbers should be checked before each use and inspected regularly by a competent person in accordance with manufacturer instructions and workplace requirements. Equipment showing signs of damage, wear or deployment should be removed from service.
Pair your lanyard with compatible safety connectors and locking carabiners to create a compliant fall protection system.
