"Lanyards Can Let You Down" Article Featured in OHS Magazine |
|
In the April issue of Occupational Health & Safety
magazine, an article "Shock-Absorbing Lanyards Can Let You Down" by Hugh
Smith, Product Marketing Leader, Americas, addresses the advantages of
using personal fall limiters over traditional shock-absorbing lanyards.
The article highlights one company's commitment to reducing fall
hazards by equipping 150 workers with personal fall limiters in a move
that will eventually outlaw lanyards on the job site. All employees,
contractors and sub-contractors will be required to comply with the new
policy, which incorporates rigorous hands-on training and inspection,
and encourages people to take personal responsibility for their own
safety.
The primary driver of their decision to change out lanyards for PFLs,
safety managers tell us, is fall arrest clearance, which is critical to
worker safety.

Ask the Expert: Multiple Connections to a Harness Back D-Ring? |
|
Q: I have two shock-absorbing lanyards, can I attach both of the end connectors to a single harness back D-ring for 100% tie-off?
A: Sperian Safety at Height does not recommend attaching two
connectors (locking snap hooks, carabiners, etc.) from two separate
connecting devices (shock-absorbing lanyards, fall limiters or
self-retracting lifelines) to the same back D-ring on any Miller® brand
harness. A variety of Miller double-leg options, however, have been
specially developed for both shock-absorbing lanyards and retractables
for 100% tie-off fall protection.
