Double Lanyard with Shock Absorber:
*Dual Connection: The features two lanyards, providing redundancy and increased safety in case of a single lanyard failure.
*Shock Absorber: Integrated shock absorbers in each lanyard effectively reduce the impact force during a fall, minimizing the risk of injury.
*Length & Strength: The lanyards are designed with suitable length and strength, ensuring they can withstand the forces imposed during a fall.
*Chemical & Abrasion Resistant: The materials used are resistant to chemical attack and abrasion, ensuring long-term durability.
Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect both the harness and lanyards for signs of wear, cuts, knots, or temporary repairs. Ensure the shock absorbers are attached and functioning correctly.
Fitment: Adjust the harness to fit comfortably and securely, ensuring all straps are snug but not too tight.
Anchoring: Connect the lanyards to a secure anchor point that can withstand the forces imposed during a fall. Avoid attaching to machinery, obstacles, cables, or sharp edges.
Positioning: Attach the lanyards as high as possible to minimize the fall distance and the resulting impact force.
Work Safely: Maintain three-point contact when moving or repositioning the harness to ensure stability.
Q: What is the maximum fall distance the Double Legs Lanyard With Shock Absorber can withstand?
A: The Double Legs Lanyard With Shock Absorber is designed to withstand falls within the standard 4-meter buffer distance, with the shock absorber absorbing the impact force to minimize injury.
Q: Can I use the harness for activities other than construction or tree climbing?
A: While primarily designed for high-risk industries, the harness can be used for any activity that requires fall protection, provided the anchor points are secure and appropriate.
Q: How often should I inspect the harness and lanyards?
A: It is recommended to inspect the harness and lanyards before each use, as well as regularly (e.g., monthly or quarterly) depending on usage and exposure to harsh conditions.
Q: Can I replace the shock absorbers if they become damaged?
A: Yes, shock absorbers can be replaced if damaged or worn out. Always use genuine replacement parts to ensure continued safety and compliance.
Q: What is the difference between a single and double lanyard system?
A: A double lanyard system, like the ML205, provides an additional layer of safety by having two independent lanyards. If one fails, the other will still provide fall protection.
Q: How do I store the harness and lanyards properly?
A: Store the harness and lanyards in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid storing them in a coiled or twisted state, which can cause damage over time.
