Fall Arrest Lanyards

The key features of a fall arrest lanyard are as follows:

• Shock Absorber: This is the crucial component that breaks aay or stretches to limit the deceleration force on the body, keeping it below 6kN.
• Fall Indicator: Either a visible tag or stitching that breaks if the lanyard has been subjected to a fall, signaling that it must be taken out of service. 
• Connectors: Connectors like hooks and carabiners ensure the lanyard is securely attached to anchorage points, helping to prevent accidental opening. 
• Materials: Fall arrest lanyards are usually made from webbing, rope or cable. 
• Length: Fall arrest lanyards are generally a maximum of two meters long, including connectors. 
• Standards Compliance: Most fall arrest lanyards comply with EN 355 (energy absorbers) or EN363 (general fall arrest systems).
