These four lanyard types are approved to EN 358:2000 for fall restraint (to prevent the user getting to a position
where a fall could occur); and work positioning (holding the user in a position of work, but backed up with
independent fall arrest protection). These lanyards should NOT be used as part of a fall arrest system. These
lanyards have an 'adjuster' within the lanyard which MUST be adjusted to the application each and every time
it is used.
The lanyard should be selected with appropriate connectors for the application it is intended to be used in and
connection to other items of the fall protection PPE system e.g. Safety Harness, Work Positioning Belt.
