Explaining Lanyards by Dutest

A Lanyard is a connecting element of a fall protection system. They come with a shock-absorbing element that limits the force felt on the body to less than 6kN. The different kinds of Lanyards are:

Work Positioning Lanyards

They are designed to help the worker hands-free while still attached to the surface. They can be made from ropes, cables or webbing depending on where they are being used. They come in a fixed length but are adjustable when no weight is attached. A user must be trained to adjust when under load.

Fall Arrest Lanyards

Called Simple Hooks, they have self-retracing lifelines. They have tubular shock-absorbing legs, are made of ropes, cables or webbing depending on the use and have snap hooks on each leg.

Fall restriction Lanyards

They are a specialized version of the work positioning Lanyards. Linesmen can use them on wood poles.

Fall restraint lanyards

These can be adjusted when one end is attached to an anchor and the other to the user.

Mostly, all four kinds are used in combination depending on the usage. Lanyards form a key fall protection system commonly used in construction.
