Safety Lanyards Information

What are Fall Protection Safety Lanyards?

Safety lanyards are critical components of fall protection systems used to connect a worker’s harness to an anchor point, offering protection in the event of a fall. They often include shock-absorbing features to minimize injury by reducing fall forces. 

Types of Safety Lanyards

  • Single Leg Energy Absorbing Lanyards: These provide fall arrest for one anchor point and are equipped with a shock-absorbing component to reduce fall forces.
  • Dual Leg Energy Absorbing Lanyards: Ideal for 100% tie-off situations. These allow users to stay connected to an anchor while moving between points.
  • Tie-Back Lanyards: These lanyards include a loop for tying back into the lanyard itself. This eliminates the need for a separate anchor point.
  • Positioning Lanyards: These are used to hold workers in place. They do not absorb shock but are designed to secure a worker in position while working at height.
  • Specialty Material Lanyards: These include fire-resistant or welding lanyards designed for use in high-heat environments.

Key Features of a High-Quality Safety Lanyard

  • Shock Absorption: Many safety lanyards feature built-in shock absorbers to reduce the impact of a fall by limiting the forces exerted on the body.
  • Varied Lengths: Availability in multiple lengths (2-6 feet) allows workers to choose the appropriate lanyard based on their work environment and distance to the anchor.
  • Multiple Hook Options: Lanyards may feature various hooks for attachment. These include standard hooks, carabiners, rebar hooks and tie-back connectors.
  • Durable Construction: Made from materials like webbing, cable or chain, safety lanyards are designed for different working conditions, such as fire-resistant or arc-flash environments.

FAQs for Safety Lanyards

What is the difference between a single-leg and dual-leg lanyard?

A single-leg lanyard connects to one anchor point, while a dual-leg lanyard allows the user to stay connected to an anchor while moving between points, providing continuous protection.

Can safety lanyards be used for positioning and fall arrest?

Yes, some lanyards are designed for both positioning and fall arrest, but ensure they are labeled for both functions and meet safety standards for your specific application.

How often should safety lanyards be inspected?

Safety lanyards should be inspected before each use and undergo a more thorough inspection periodically, as recommended by the manufacturer or safety regulations.

What is the maximum length of a safety lanyard?

Lanyard lengths vary, with most options ranging from 2 to 6 feet, but the right length depends on the application, distance to the anchor point, and available fall clearance.
