Product Information
Full details
This Scan Fall Arrest Lanyard is designed for workers requiring fall protection at height. Its primary benefit is providing a secure connection between a safety harness and an anchor point, utilizing shock-absorbing webbing to minimize impact forces in a fall. A key consideration is the required safety distance; users must ensure sufficient clearance to prevent impact with the ground or lower structures during a fall event. The lanyard features elasticated webbing for reduced slack, a large scaffold hook for versatile anchor point connection, and a locking snap hook for secure attachment to the harness.

Visually inspect the webbing for cuts, abrasions, fraying, or chemical damage. Check the stitching. Ensure the hooks operate freely and lock securely. Inspect the energy absorber for any signs of deployment or damage.
What should I do if the lanyard has been in a fall?
Any lanyard that has been subjected to a fall or has been involved in arresting a fall must be immediately removed from service and destroyed. It should not be reused under any circumstances.
Can I use this lanyard with any type of harness?
This lanyard is designed to connect to a fall arrest harness. Ensure your harness is appropriate for fall arrest and has the correct attachment points compatible with the lanyard's snap hook.
Troubleshooting
Lanyard appears stiff or difficult to extend
Ensure the webbing is not twisted or caught on anything. Check for debris or dirt within the elasticated section, and clean as per care instructions if necessary. Avoid forcing the webbing.
Hook does not close or lock properly
Inspect the hook mechanism for obstructions or damage. Clean the gate and spring mechanism. If the issue persists, the lanyard should be removed from service.
