Cordon de sécurité

Safety lanyards are vital components in fall protection systems, designed to secure individuals working at heights and prevent accidents. They are available in various types, including shock-absorbing and retractable lanyards, each tailored to specific safety needs.

Types of Safety Lanyards:

Shock-Absorbing Safety Lanyards:

Function: These lanyards incorporate a shock-absorbing element that reduces the impact forces exerted on the body during a fall, thereby minimizing the risk of injury.
Design: Typically constructed from durable materials like nylon or polyester, they feature a built-in shock pack that deploys upon arresting a fall.
Applications: Ideal for environments where workers may experience free falls, such as construction sites, roofing, and maintenance tasks.
Retractable Safety Lanyards:

Function: These lanyards automatically retract, maintaining minimal slack and reducing trip hazards.
Design: Equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism, they extend and retract as the user moves, providing continuous fall protection.
Applications: Suitable for tasks requiring mobility and flexibility, such as window cleaning, steel erection, and general maintenance.
Considerations When Choosing a Safety Lanyard:

Compliance: Ensure the lanyard meets relevant safety standards, such as those set by OSHA and ANSI.
Weight Capacity: Select a lanyard that accommodates your weight, including tools and equipment.
Length: Choose a lanyard length appropriate for your work environment to prevent excessive slack or tension.
Connector Type: Verify that the lanyard’s connectors are compatible with your harness and anchor points.
