How to use

Attach one end of the lanyard to the designated dorsal or sternal attachment point of a compatible full-body harness and connect the other end to a certified anchor point capable of withstanding fall-arrest loads. Before each use, inspect the webbing, stitching and connectors for signs of wear, cuts, fraying, corrosion or deformation. Ensure the energy-absorbing element is intact and unobstructed. Use the shortest practical lanyard length and appropriate anchor location to minimize potential fall distance and avoid swing hazards. After any fall event, remove the lanyard from service and replace it according to manufacturer instructions.

Recommendations

Use this lanyard only as part of a complete personal fall-arrest system including a certified full-body harness and suitable anchor. Comply with applicable local regulations and employer safety procedures. Regularly inspect and maintain the lanyard, store it away from chemicals, sharp edges and direct sunlight when not in use, and follow manufacturer guidance for service life and disposal.
