WARNING
1. A lanyard assembly should be secured to an anchorage
point that is at a level which will result in the minimum
free fall and the least total fall distance consistent with
the wearer’s ability to carry out work tasks. The maximum
allowable free fall is no more than 2 m.
2. Energy absorbers that absorb energy by permanent
deformation or destructive action should be discarded if
that process has commenced.
