Polyester web lanyard with a continuous (Shock Pack) energy absorber. Width 1 in, (25 mm). This lanyard is equipped with two different double locking carabiners, namely one standard with a ¾ in. (19 mm) throat opening and one rebar hook with a 2-1/4 in (57.15 mm) throat opening. This can support a weight of 100 lb to 255 lb (45 kg to 115 kg), including clothing, tools and equipment. This lanyard is available in six (6'). 

Dentec Safety Specialists product code: 16L111602.
This product meets the standard CSA Z259.11-17.

The energy absorber is designed to reduce the impact of a fall below a force of 675 lb (306 kg). During a fall, the energy absorber deploys over a distance of 48 in. (4 ft) to reduce the fall arrest force upon the worker. Once deployed, lanyards and harnesses must be replaced. Think of it as a narrow escape.

It features two carabiners (hooks) made of steel that require a double-locking action for a throat opening of respectively ¾ in and 1 ¾ in. Meets the standard ANSI Z359.1-2007 So therefore can support a force of 3600 lb (16 kN) without any distortion. The nearest carabiner to the energy absorber must be hooked to the dorsal anchorage point on the harness.

Certification labels provided at one end of the lanyard.

Regarding the anchor point:

The anchor point should be located above the dorsal anchorage ring and should be held in a vertical position with respect to the worker. One should also be aware of the potential risk of falling. Is there a sufficient and obstacle free distance below the worker? Are there emergency measures to get him down on the ground quickly? Can the anchor point withstand a force of 5000 lb? For more information, consult the manufacturer's manual.

The worker is responsible for visually inspecting the lanyard before each use. During this routine inspection, the worker must note any signs of degradation, malfunction, or breakage. The lanyard will have to be replaced if any such signs are detected.

Inspection:

On top of this routine inspection, the lanyard must be inspected by a qualified person different than the worker. The frequency of these inspections varies according to the manufacturer. Some manufacturers require an inspection every 90 days, others every 180 days, or even yearly. These inspections should be performed more often if the lanyard is worn in extreme environmental working conditions.

The recommended lifetime of a lanyard is 5 years. While some manufacturers keep silent on this topic, in practice, if the lanyard is used regularly and stored and maintained in standard conditions, its lifetime will not exceed 5 years in most cases.

Sylprotec offers a lanyard inspection service. Find out more by clicking on the Services tab, under the Sylprotec logo at the top of the page.

Any equipment that has withstood a fall or an impact must be scrapped.

Maintenance:

For cleaning, use a gentle soap or detergent and lukewarm water (37°C). Do not use bleach, chlorine, or other abrasive or chemical products. If your harness is too dirty or contaminated, it is time to replace it.

Air dry without using heat in a clean environment. You can accelerate the drying process by wiping the wet lanyard with a clean absorbent wipe, or by using a fan. Avoid exposure to sunlight and to any sources of contamination.

Suggestion:

To complete your fall protection you will find a range of harness and anchors. Some products are suggested under the "accessories" tab at the bottom of this page.
