Everyone who works from a height is aware of the dangers of a fall accident. This is why the professionals use safety equipment such as a Retractable Lanyard. Lanyards act as the connector between a safe anchorage point, and the harness or belt you are wearing. Many of the available models come with a shock absorbing system.
The ShockWave2 100% Tie-Off Shock Absorbing Safety Lanyard is one of the most popular models. It expands up to 6 ft. and contracts to 4 ½ ft. in reaction to your movements. The twin-leg 100% tie-off style helps you remain connected at all times and it reduces trip fall hazards, dragging and snagging for complete freedom of movement. It incorporates a unique inner core that immediately begins to extend and absorb energy during a fall, limiting arresting forces to no more than 900 lbs. The Self Retracting Lifeline features easy to use self locking snap hooks at center and flat steel hooks at the leg ends. There is abrasion resistant tubular webbing for durability and longevity and an impact indicator allows the user to visually inspect the unit for a fall. The safety lanyard meets all applicable industry standards such as OSHA and ANSI.
