- The lanyard can be used in temperatures from -45 C to 50 C.
- Do not use only the safety lanyard (with no shock absorber) on its own as a device to arrest a fall
from height.
- Two separate lanyards each with an energy absorber should not be used side by side (i.e. parallel).
- The free tail of a twin tail (double) lanyard combined with energy absorber should not be clipped
back on the harness
- It is permissible to use the safety lanyard without a shock absorber only as a rope that restricts
(prevents) the worker from the area at risk of a fall.
USING THE SAFETY LANYARD AS A RESTRAINT LANYARD
The safety lanyard can be used as an element of personal protective system that prevents falls from
a height by restricting the travel of the user,
so that the person is prevented from reaching
areas or positions where the risk of a fall from
a height exists. The restraint system is not
intended to arrest a fall from a height or work
in situations where the user needs support
from the body holding device (e.g. to prevent
him from slipping or falling). Any suitable body
holding device may be used in the restraint
system. The length of the lanyard (L) must be
shorter than the distance from the anchor point
to the fall arrest area - see drawing alongside.
USING THE SAFETY LANYARD AS WORK
POSITIONING LANYARD (EN 358)
Work positioning lanyard is used to prevent a free fall of the user by connecting a body holding
device to an anchor point or to a structure by encircling it and supporting the user in tension. The
lanyard is designed for protection of one person of max. weight 140 kg. The work positioning
lanyard shall not be used as a fall arrest device. If there is a risk of a fall from height, always use
additional fall device in accordance with EN 363. Work positioning lanyard can be fitted only with
certified connectors compliant with EN362.
FASTENING WORK POSITIONING LANYARD
1. Fasten one of the lanyard snap hooks
on the right (or left for left-handed people)
belt fastening buckle for work positioning in
accordance with EN 358 fig. 1.
2. Put the lanyard around a structure and
fasten the snap hook on the second (free)
belt fastening buckle - fig. 2, or snap the
snap hook onto a permanent anchor point
located above the belt - fig. 3. Adjust the length and the tension of the rope to assure a stable work
position and restrict the free fall of the worker. The lanyard must be kept taut during use.
ATTENTION:
Make sure that connections between each separate fastening element are stable prior
to start work and while working. Snap hooks must be closed and protected with a mechanism which
prevents them from accidental opening.
