What important factors should be considered when using a lanyard for fall arrest?

Categories: Fall Protection, Product Information, Technical Support
  • Inspection: Always inspect the lanyard for damages, cuts, and burns before use.
  • 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.
