What Should be the Length of a FALL ARREST LANYARD
The standard maximum length of the Fall Arrest Lanyard is 2 meters. Important thing to note is to have a lanyard long enough to be used friendly, however, kept as short as possible, to minimize the free fall distance. All all arrest lanyards are tested and certified as per EN 355:2002 for their maximum length of 2m.
How does the ENERGY ABSORBER WORK ?
In the event of a fall the special webbing inside the Energy Absorber opens up. This opening of the webbing takes up most of the jerk which is felt as an impact when a fall occurs. Hence finally very little jerk is felt on the body of the worker. We can therefore imagine that if this Energy Absorber is absent from a fall protection system, the forces which are felt on the body of the worker can be very high and can result in injury.
