1. DESCRIPTION
FallTech® Restraint Lanyards are composed of various lengths of polyester webbing,
polyester rope, or wire rope, with self-closing/self-locking active connectors at the ends.
The anchorage end of the lanyards are equipped with snap hooks, and the attachment
end may be a snap hook or a rebar hook.
FallTech lanyards are ANSI Z359.3-2007 compliant and meet all OSHA regulations.
Lanyards are available in five configurations, Types A , B, C, D, and E. See Table 1 and
Figure 1 in Appendix A. All figure and table references in this manual are to Appendix A.
For purposes of this manual, the lanyards may be referred to as the lanyards, the
equipment, or the units.
2. APPLICATION
2.1 Purpose: The Restraint Lanyard is intended for use on platforms, in aerial lifts and
other areas to prevent personnel from reaching a fall hazard. Restraint systems are
typically composed of a lanyard and a Full Body Harness (FBH), or a restraint belt. See
Figure 2.
NOTE: If a fall hazard exists, the use of a back-up Personal Fall Protection System (PFAS)
is required.
2.2 Restraint Anchorage Strength: Anchorages selected for restraint, and travel
restraint systems, shall have a strength able to sustain static loads applied in the
directions permitted by the system of at least:
a)
3,000 lbs. (13.3 kN) for non-certified anchorages, or
b)
two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages.
3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors are considered to be compatible with
connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way
that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open
regardless of how they become oriented. Contact FallTech if you have any questions
about compatibility. Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other
system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible
