  • A restraint lanyard should be used only when you want to prevent a user from accessing an area where there is a risk of falling.
  • The Forked lanyards are designed to be used in the same way but for passing intermediate anchor points.
  • A work positioning lanyard could be used when there is no risk of falling, otherwise it must be used with a suitable fall arrest
    system.

 

RAPPEL: Lanyards without the energy absorber should never be used as a fall arrest system
