Safety harnesses and lanyards have been critical pieces of equipment when it comes to protecting workers from the dangers of working at height. Serious injury and even death has been reported from falls in the 4-6 foot range, so you cannot be too careful.
A Retractable Lanyard can provide wearers with a wide range of both vertical and horizontal movement, in relation to a traditional lanyard. You simply find a secure anchorage point overhead, whether at the top of a ladder, or a beam in a construction site. The cable or webbing pays out according to your movement, retracting as you return, and stopping in the event of a fall or sharp movement. Most of these units incorporate a shock absorbing feature, which limits the force of stopping.
The 30 ft Safety Lanyard from Ultra-Lok is an ideal solution, with 3/16” galvanized steel wire rope for durability. The stainless steel working components will resist corrosion, and a reserve lifeline retention system is included for additional safety. The unit also has a self-locking swivel snap hook with impact indicator and a swiveling anchorage loop to prevent twisting of the line. Your safety is too important to trust to lesser equipment, so find a quality retracting lifeline today.
