Product Information
Full details
The MSA Lanyard - Twin Leg is designed for professionals working at height, providing a critical connection between a full body harness and an anchorage point to arrest falls. Its primary benefit is maintaining fall arrest forces below 6 kN, significantly reducing injury risk, though its specialized connectors may require specific compatibility checks. This energy-absorbing lanyard is available in twin-leg configurations with various connectors, featuring a tear-tape design, abrasion-resistant loops, and robust construction for durability and user comfort.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the energy absorber?
The energy absorber, featuring a tear-tape design, is designed to deploy during a fall, absorbing kinetic energy and reducing the impact forces on the user's body and the anchorage system to below 6 kN.
Can this lanyard be used for positioning at height?
This lanyard is specifically designed as a fall arrest device. While it can provide fall protection during movement, it is not intended as a primary positioning lanyard. Always refer to specific product documentation for intended use.
What is the difference between the scaffolding hook and the screw gate karabiner?
The scaffolding hook has a wider gate opening (50.8 mm) and is typically used for larger structural anchor points. The screw gate karabiner has a narrower gate opening (18 mm) and is suitable for a wider range of standard anchorage connectors.
How often should I inspect my lanyard?
You should perform a visual inspection before each use. Additionally, a more thorough periodic inspection should be conducted by a competent person at regular intervals, as recommended by the manufacturer and relevant safety regulations.
What does it mean that the fall arrest forces are kept below 6 kN?
Keeping fall arrest forces below 6 kN is a critical safety standard. Forces above this level can cause severe internal injuries, including spinal damage, organ rupture, and broken bones. The energy absorber is designed to ensure these forces remain within a survivable limit.
Can I use this lanyard with any full body harness?
This lanyard is designed to connect to the fall arrest attachment point (usually a dorsal D-ring) of MSA full body harnesses. For compatibility with other brands, always consult the harness manufacturer's instructions and ensure the connector types are appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Lanyard fails inspection due to visible damage
Immediately remove the lanyard from service. Do not attempt to repair it. Replace with a new, certified lanyard.
Connector does not close or latch properly
Clean the connector mechanism. Check for obstructions or damage. If the issue persists, the lanyard should be removed from service.
Energy absorber shows signs of deployment (e.g., torn tear-webbing)
The lanyard has been subjected to a fall event or shock load. It must be immediately removed from service and replaced.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively reduces fall arrest forces to below 6 kN.
- Twin leg design allows for continuous connection and movement.
- Robust construction with durable webbing and abrasion-resistant features.
- Includes secure and easy-to-use connectors (karabiner and scaffolding hook).
- Designed for comfort and user-friendliness during extended use.
Cons
- Requires careful consideration of connector compatibility with existing anchorages.
- The twin-leg configuration adds some weight and bulk compared to single-leg lanyards.
- Not suitable for all types of work environments; specific fall protection planning is necessary.
- Requires regular inspection and maintenance to ensure continued safety performance.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Inspect the lanyard thoroughly before each use for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation.
- Attach the karabiner or scaffolding hook to a qualified anchorage point or the D-ring of your full body harness as per manufacturer instructions.
- Ensure connectors are properly latched and secured.
Compatibility:
- This lanyard is designed to connect to MSA full body harnesses and qualified anchorage points.
- Verify that the connectors (screw gate karabiner and scaffolding hook) are compatible with your specific anchorage points and harness D-rings. The scaffolding hook has a 50.8 mm gate opening, and the karabiner has an 18 mm gate opening.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the webbing and connectors with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Storage: Store the lanyard in a clean, dry place, protected from UV light, extreme temperatures, and corrosive substances. Avoid storing it under heavy objects that could compress or damage the webbing or energy absorber.
- Inspection: Regular inspections (before each use, and periodic formal inspections) are critical. Look for cuts, abrasions, burns, chemical damage, UV degradation, damaged stitching, or malfunctioning hardware. Any damaged lanyard must be immediately removed from service.
