5. MAXIMUM ARREST FORCE
Shock absorbing lanyards have a maximum arrest force of 1800 lbf (8 kN) when tested in accordance with the
applicable ANSI standards. The average arrest force is 900 lbf (4 kN) and cannot be less based on the ambient
dry conditions.
6. MAXIMUM ELONGATION
The maximum permanent elongation of shock absorber is 4 ft (1.22m) after fall.
7. LANYARD LENGTH
Select a shock absorbing lanyard with the proper length for intended application. Do not join two lanyards
together or use knots as a means to adjust lanyard length. If you are unsure as to the length of lanyard
required for your application, consult the supplier or a trained competent / qualified person for assistance in
selecting the proper lanyard.
8. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Avoid use near sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, moving machinery, and electrical hazards.
Avoid exposure to harmful chemicals, heat, and direct sunlight (UV rays).

removed from service and destroyed.
10. RESCUE
It is the responsibility of the user and purchaser of this lanyard to ensure that a rescue plan is in place to
immediately detect and safely retrieve a fallen worker. Please contact the supplier or a trained professional if
you require assistance in formulating a rescue plan.
11. INSPECTION
Before each use visually inspect the entire lanyard for any obvious signs of damage, deterioration or distress.
Inspect webbing for frayed, cut, or broken fibers. Check for tears, abrasion, burns, discoloration, kinking,
knotting, roping, excessive soiling, needed or excessive lubrication and excessive aging.
l
Inspect for broken stitches or pulled thread.
l
Inspect connectors and adjuster for corrosion and/or distortion.
l Inspect ID label to ensure that it is present and fully legible.
l
Inspect equipment for evidence of defects or damage to hardware elements including cracks, sharp
edges, deformation, chemical attack, excessive heating, alteration, and excessive wear.
l
Check and ensure that fall indicator tag is present and not deployed.
l
Measure the length of the lanyard, ensure it matches the initial length indicated on the label ± 1’’. If
length is greater than initial length, it may have been subjected to fall arrest forces, remove from service
and destroy. If inspection reveals any of the above conditions the lanyard must be immediately removed
from service and destroyed. If in doubt about safety or condition of the unit, have it inspected by a
competent/qualified person or return it to supplier or authorized agent for a detailed inspection.
l
Inspect all other components of the fall arrest system according to supplier instructions. Before using
any fall arrest system ensure that a rescue plan is in place to immediately detect and to safely retrieve a
fallen worker.
