Restraint:
Non-Shock Lanyard may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
Limitations
Fall Clearance:
There must be sufficient
clearance below the anchorage connector
to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When calculating
fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 3’
safety factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness
stretch, and all other applicable factors.
Lanyard must be rated for Fall Arrest
to be used in any application in which
a fall could occur.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls:
Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always work as close to in
line with the anchor point as possible. Swing
falls significantly increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death in the event of a fall.
Shock absorber required for applications in
which free fall is possible.
Rescue/Confined Space:
Non-Shock Lanyard may be used in Rescue/Confined Space applications.
Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after exposed to a
fall. There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of rescue. Structure
must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. No
free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.
Work Positioning:
Non-Shock Lanyard may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with
both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at
least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-310 lbs.
Non-Shock Absorbing Lanyards may only be used in Fall Arrest
applications when used with compatible shock absorber extension.
!
WARNING
Not all Guardian Non-Shock Absorbing Lanyards may be used
in every application type. ALWAYS consider lanyard length, design,
and any other structural components. ALWAYS read and adhere to
product labeling. A Competent Person MUST make a determination
regarding correct lanyard application and compatibility.
!
WARNING
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing
worker falling directly in-line with anchor point.
Always consider potential swing fall and other
hazards when calculating fall clearance.
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever
possible! If Swing Fall exists,
always account for additional
fall clearance.
