The double lanyard with shock absorber is 180cm in length and features two scaffolding hooks which allow you to easily move from one area to another whilst continuously remaining attached. Featuring an energy shock absorber to reduce the impact of any fall to prevent whiplash-like injuries, the carabiner allows for a secure fastening.
One of the most versatile pieces of fall protection equipment, the double lanyard (also known as a Y-lanyard) is CE Marked and compliant with European Standards EN 354, EN 355 and EN 362. Together, these will assure you that you'll be safe in the event of a fall having passed stringent testing whilst ensuring the shock caused in the event of a fall being arrested is reduced.
Manufactured by Portwest and suitable for attachment to full-body harnesses, the blue double lanyard with shock absorber is ideal for fall arrest work, such as when on scaffolding.
Initially, fall protection systems relied on a single belt, usually made of leather or canvas and worn around the waist, to prevent falls. Though this did arrest some falls, it wasn't always successful. And when it did work, it often created new dangers, including:
In the 1970s and 1980s, workers began using two lanyards for additional safety. Known as a "100% tie-off system," the second lanyard offered backup protection if anything happened to the first. It didn't, however, prevent the hazards of using body belts. If you fell "correctly," horizontally, you were often fine, but falling in any other position put you at serious risk.
Several safety organizations, including OSHA, tested body belts throughout the late 1900s. In one test performed by the British Standards Institute's National Engineering Lab, the body belt folded the dummy in half, slamming its head against the surface below. In another study by OSHA, engineers determined that an average-sized woman could survive for 2.5 minutes while suspended in a body belt. The average-sized man would only last 32 seconds.
Though some companies used safety harnesses rather than just body belts as early as the 1940s, they didn't become common until OSHA banned body belts as the only form of fall protection in 1998. Inspired by the harnesses used by paratroopers, manufacturers developed harnesses that strapped across the upper and lower body to distribute weight more evenly.
Over the years, we have seen not just an evolution of the harness, but a revolution in comfort. Manufacturers use materials that are lightweight and strong enough to withstand regular use. The straps are arranged to arrest falls with minimal injury and maximum comfort during use. The dorsal D-ring is used universally because of the convenience it offers and the way it helps to distribute weight.
Today, full body harnesses improve safety in two main ways. Along with an optimized design, they are no longer uncomfortable to wear or use. Workers can easily and conveniently use them for specific tasks, encouraging regular use and increasing workplace safety.
