EN354 & EN355 compliant fall arrest lanyard with shock-absorbing pack

With a choke ring specifically for pole work, the kernmantle fibre rope lanyards available in lengths between 1m and 2m with a single leg. In the unfortunate event of a fall, the lanyard will catch the fall and absorb many of the forces created.

FAQs ABOUT FALL ARREST LANYARDs

What does a fall arrest system consist of?
It consists of a full-body harness, anchorage, and connecting device. The means of connection may include a lanyard, deceleration device, lifeline, or a suitable combination of these.

Which harness attachment points can be used with a Fall Arrest Lanyard?
While the connector of this lanyard is connected to an anchorage, the energy absorber is attached to a fall arrest point, marked with an "A". A full-body fall arrest harness normally includes a rear D-ring for fall arrest; some also include a front fall arrest attachment point. 

How does a shock-absorbing lanyard work?
The unique feature of this lanyard is its built-in shock pack. When a significant, sustained dynamic force is applied to the lanyard such as in a fall, the pack expands to absorb the kinetic energy that is created by a body in freefall. 

Without a shock absorber built into the fall arrest system, the forces created in freefall will severely injure the worker and more than likely result in a fatality.
