Fall Arrest Lanyards

(19 products)

A fall arrest lanyard connects your harness to an anchor point and stops you if you fall. But here's the critical choice: energy-absorbing lanyards for fall arrest, or restraint lanyards to prevent falls altogether? That decision shapes your entire fall protection systems approach.

Arrest vs. Restraint: Know the Difference

Energy-absorbing lanyards include shock packs or tear-webbing that deploy during a fall, limiting braking force to below 6kN—the threshold that prevents serious internal injury. Without that absorption, arrest forces can hit 15kN. Restraint lanyards have no shock absorber; they're short, fixed-length lines that physically stop you reaching fall edges when properly anchored.

Can you use a fall arrest lanyard for restraint? No. Restraint systems require precise radius calculation and no energy absorber. Mixing the two creates a dangerous misapplication.

Single Leg, Double Leg, Adjustable

Single leg lanyards suit static positions with secure overhead anchorage. Double leg designs let you move safely—one leg stays connected while you reposition the second. Adjustable length lanyards adapt to varied working heights without swapping kit.

Connector choice matters: scaff hooks for tube and rail, karabiners for eyebolts and structural steel, or specialist twist-lock designs. Match your connectors to your anchorage type. For retractable options, see our fall arrest blocks.
