• Attachment: Never wrap the lanyard around an anchor point and attach it back on itself, as this can cause a “choke effect” that weakens the lanyard.
• Usage: Do not use the lanyard for suspension; it should only serve as a connecting element.
• Modification: Avoid using two single lanyards to create a forked lanyard or to extend the lanyard’s length.

A connector is a crucial component of a fall protection system. It serves as the link between the worker’s harness and the anchorage point, ensuring a secure connection within the fall protection system to prevent falls and ensure worker safety.

A davit arm is a support structure used in confined space entry and rescue operations. It extends over the edge of a confined space opening and supports a tripod or winch system, allowing workers to safely enter and exit the confined space and providing a stable anchor point for rescue operations.

A lanyard is a component of fall protection equipment used to connect a worker’s body harness to an anchorage point. Its primary purpose is to arrest a worker’s fall, preventing them from hitting the ground or other lower-level surfaces. Lanyards help control the fall distance and reduce impact forces, lowering the risk of injury.

A permanent lifeline system is a safety feature installed on rooftops or other elevated work areas to provide secure anchor points for workers. It’s typically recommended in situations where workers frequently access the roof for maintenance or other tasks, and the risk of falling is high. This includes working on large, flat or low-sloped roofs, steep-sloped roofs, roofs with skylights or other openings, and in conditions where weather changes frequently or access is difficult.

A Retractable Fall Arrester Block, also known as a Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL), is a vertical lifeline used as part of a complete fall arrest system. It functions similarly to a seatbelt, where the lifeline extends and retracts smoothly but locks when a sudden force, such as a fall, is applied. The internal braking mechanism disperses the energy of the fall, limiting the impact on the user.

A shock-absorbing lanyard reduces the force exerted on the body during a fall and is essential in fall arrest systems to minimize injury. It should be used when working at heights over 6 feet.

A temporary lifeline is a type of fall protection system designed for short-term jobs where workers need to be protected from falls at height. These lifelines are easy to install and remove, providing a safe and efficient method for securing workers. They can be installed horizontally or vertically between two anchor points, allowing for the attachment of a personal protection system.

A tripod set is used in confined space entry to provide a secure anchorage point and a system for safely lowering and raising workers into and out of confined spaces, such as manholes, tanks, and underground vaults. It is an essential piece of fall protection equipment that helps prevent accidents during confined space operations.

An Anchor Point is a crucial component of a personal fall arrest system. It ensures the user is securely connected to a lanyard, lifeline, or another component of the fall arrest system while working safely at height.

Fall arrest systems stop a fall after it occurs, while fall restraint systems prevent a fall from happening by restricting a worker’s movement within safe areas.

A shock-absorbing lanyard reduces the impact forces experienced by a worker during a fall to less than 6 kN. It typically includes a shock-absorbing pack that activates when tension is applied, helping to minimize the forces on the worker’s body during a fall and reducing the risk of injury.

A work positioning lanyard is used to secure a worker in a vertical position while performing tasks that require stability, such as window cleaning or building maintenance. It attaches to the worker’s body harness and a secure anchor point, preventing falls while allowing the worker to use both hands.

Our harnesses typically have a weight limit of up to 140 kg (310 lbs), but this may vary based on the specific product model. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines.

When working at height, understanding the fall clearance distance is crucial. If a worker is anchored vertically above head level, the length of the lanyard and the elongation of the energy absorber during a fall determine the fall clearance. A minimum clearance of 6 meters is recommended to prevent contact with lower-level hazards, especially in scenarios where the user experiences a free fall of up to 4 meters.

A suspension trauma strap is designed to prevent suspension trauma, also known as harness hang syndrome. It allows a suspended worker to stand up and take the weight off their legs, increasing blood flow and reducing the risk of suspension trauma.

• Steel: Durable and strong, ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications, and cost-effective.
• Aluminum: Lightweight with higher corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor use and environments prone to rust.

This includes working on large, flat or low-sloped roofs, steep-sloped roofs, roofs with skylights or other openings, and in conditions where weather changes frequently or access is difficult.

A Retractable Fall Arrester Block, also known as a Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL), is a vertical lifeline used as part of a complete fall arrest system. It functions similarly to a seatbelt, where the lifeline extends and retracts smoothly but locks when a sudden force, such as a fall, is applied. The internal braking mechanism disperses the energy of the fall, limiting the impact on the user.

A shock-absorbing lanyard reduces the force exerted on the body during a fall and is essential in fall arrest systems to minimize injury. It should be used when working at heights over 6 feet.

A temporary lifeline is a type of fall protection system designed for short-term jobs where workers need to be protected from falls at height. These lifelines are easy to install and remove, providing a safe and efficient method for securing workers. They can be installed horizontally or vertically between two anchor points, allowing for the attachment of a personal protection system.

A tripod set is used in confined space entry to provide a secure anchorage point and a system for safely lowering and raising workers into and out of confined spaces, such as manholes, tanks, and underground vaults. It is an essential piece of fall protection equipment that helps prevent accidents during confined space operations.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. It analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, administers a shock.

An Anchor Point is a crucial component of a personal fall arrest system. It ensures the user is securely connected to a lanyard, lifeline, or another component of the fall arrest system while working safely at height.

Chemical permeation is the process by which a chemical moves through a protective material at a molecular level.

It’s crucial to understand permeation because even if a chemical coverall appears undamaged, harmful chemicals can still pass through the material over time. This can lead to skin exposure and health risks. Therefore, choosing a coverall with high permeation resistance is essential for worker safety.

Cleanroom apparel is clothing designed to minimize contamination and protect against particulate matter in controlled environments. It is used in cleanrooms, laboratories, and other settings where sensitive processes and products are being handled. 

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure used to ensure that machinery or equipment is properly shut off and cannot be started again until maintenance or servicing work is completed. It involves isolating energy sources and applying locks and tags to prevent accidental operation.
