Lanyards for Arrest, Restraint & Positioning
Different tasks require different lanyard functions. Our range includes work positioning lanyards that allow operatives to maintain a stable working position while keeping their hands free, ideal for structural, scaffolding, and tower-based work.
For situations where access to a fall hazard needs to be restricted, fall restraint lanyards are used to prevent the user from reaching a dangerous edge, making them suitable for roof work, maintenance, and controlled access environments.
Where a fall risk cannot be eliminated, a fall arrest lanyard is used to safely stop a fall after it occurs. Many of these incorporate an energy absorber or energy-absorbing lanyard design to reduce the forces transmitted to the user and anchor point during a fall.
Practical Options for Everyday Site Use
We supply both single and twin configurations to suit different access requirements. A single leg lanyard provides a simple, lightweight solution for straightforward connections, while a twin leg lanyard supports continuous attachment during movement.
