Shock Absorbers Lanyard
Shock Absorbers Lanyards are essential safety equipment for workers who work at heights. These lanyards are usually made of thicker material and are shaped to prevent injuries from impact forces. When a fall occurs, the energy absorber lanyard will expand and decelerate to reduce the force of the fall to a safe level.
A shock absorber lanyard is usually constructed with two legs. The leg and lanyard hardware is made of steel or aluminum, which makes them durable and resistant to wear. They are available in different styles, including V-style lanyards with shock absorbers built into the legs, and Y-style lanyards with an external shock absorber.
Energy absorbing lanyards are one of the most commonly used types of safety lanyards. In order to maximize their effectiveness, they should be chosen based on the type of application they will be used for. Depending on the type of work, they may be equipped with different connectors. For example, workers exposed to welding spatter or electrical hazards should select a lanyard with a connector designed for that condition.
To determine the proper type of lanyard for the application, you should consult with a competent person. He or she will examine the risks associated with the environment and will make a recommendation for mitigation measures. If you are planning to purchase a shock absorbing lanyard, you should know how to inspect the hardware for damage. You should also be aware of the maximum weight capacity of the product. This amount will depend on the type of lanyard and the manufacturer.
Some lanyards can be made of polyethylene terephthalate, silk, or polyester. Others are made of nylon or steel. Make sure to research the manufacturer before buying a lanyard. Check the warranty and service life of the product.
Energy absorbing lanyards can be as long as six feet. Ideally, they have two strands of cord at least three feet apart. It is important to choose a lanyard with a label that lists the weight capacity. Also, check for frayed or broken webbing. If you need to adjust the length of the lanyard, you can buy a self retracting version.
Shock absorbers are typically made of nylon or polyester. However, they are also available in an elastic style. The elastic is surrounded by strong tubular webbing, which prevents UV degradation and protects the elastic from abrasion.
Generally, lanyards are used to restrain and collect items. They are used in conjunction with a safety harness to reduce the force of a fall. As the worker falls, the shock absorber lanyard will decelerate the body, preventing injury. But it can also fail at a crucial moment.
Energy absorbing lanyards have improved in terms of weight capacity, and the ANSI mandates that the maximum weight limit for them be between 130 and 310 pounds. If you are working at a height that requires more than a six foot lanyard, consider an external shock absorbing lanyard. External shock-absorbing lanyards have a layered section where the webbing is inspected for wear, damage, and chemical exposure.
