Fall Arrest Lanyards

About

Our range of fall arrest lanyards is a core part of our fall protection lineup. If used correctly, these specialist shock-absorbing lanyards and safety lines will catch you in the event of a fall; more importantly, they aim to do so whilst reducing the forces felt, arresting the fall in a controlled manner. Each lanyard in this category features a shock-absorbing element; these usually take the form of a block of woven fabric block wrapped in a protective sleeve at one end of the lanyard. When you subject the shock absorber to the forces of a fall, it deploys, releasing further material; this acts much like the crumple zone in a car, reducing the sudden stopping force on the body and reducing the likelihood of serious injuries. These lanyards can be found in almost all areas where it is not feasible to avoid working at height or where a restraint would not be suitable. This can be the case for tasks as simple as climbing a ladder or working on scaffolding still being built.
