Safety Lanyards
Safety lanyards are a worker’s vital link to their fall protection anchor point. Some common type of lanyards are fall arrest lanyards, self-retracting lanyards (SRLs), work positioning lanyards and fall restraint lanyards, with different types of terminations/connections.
- Fall Arrest Lanyards – The most common type due to their ease of use and clear fall indicator, if they have been deployed. Fall arrest lanyards are often 2 metres in length, with a shock absorber on harness end. In order to use this type of lanyard, a minimum 19.5′ of clearance is required for arresting a fall. Available in single or double legs options.
- Fall Restraint Lanyards – Designed to keep the worker in place by removing the risk of falls with a shortened lanyard. Fall restraint lanyards are commonly used in boom lifts to avoid falling out of the cradle.
- Work Positioning Lanyards – Provide support to the worker to allow hands free when work in a variety of situations. Work positioning lanyards are not designed to arrest a fall.
Lanyards are also made of various materials such as polyester webbing, cable and wire rope, to suit various work applications. For work around sharp edges, a wire rope lanyard or fall arrestor is recommended, as they offer exceptional strength, durability and flexibility. Fire retardant lanyards are most suitable for use when hot work is involved.
