Support lanyards

Work positioning lanyards, support lanyards, are an important part of personal protective equipment (PPE) and are designed to be able to position yourself, prevent or limit the consequences of a fall. 

The lanyard makes it possible for you to connect to a stable structure or a solid anchor point.

And preferably installed so that you can move without being exposed to the danger of falling all the way down. Support lanyards usually consist of an adjustment brake and a high-quality rope, along with various components such as carabiners, connectors and in some cases absorption units.

When choosing a work positioning lanyard, there are several important factors to consider.

Area of ​​use

Think about what kind of work is to be done and what specific conditions are present. Some lines are better suited to certain work environments and applications than others. Consider whether you need a shorter line for limited movement or a longer strap for greater reach.

Weight restrictions

Check the weight capacity of the support line to ensure they are suitable for your weight and any equipment that needs to be carried.

Comfort and ease of use

Choose a product that are appropriate for multiple tasks, with adjustment options to easily adapt to your movement needs. In summary, the simplicity and ease of use of the adjustment mechanisms are important factors.

Inspections and maintenance

Also ensure that it is easy to inspect and maintain. The equipment should be marked with clear information as well as descriptive information on how to inspect and maintain it.
