Shock-absorbing lanyards are essential for fall protection systems. They extend to absorb energy and minimize the impact on the body during a fall, reducing the risk of injuries. These lanyards dampen the jolt, slowing down the deceleration and lessening the force on the body. Compared to sudden stops, they greatly decrease the chances of harm. Being lightweight, shock-absorbing lanyards are more comfortable than self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) for extended use. They con-nect a worker’s safety harness to an anchor point, preventing free-falling. It’s important to have enough fall clearance for the lanyard to fully expand during a fall. Shock-absorbing lanyards are often used in construction, manufacturing, and utilities industries. They are effective in minimizing fall injuries and offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for worker safety at heights.
