TWIN LEG ACCESS SHOCK ABSORBING LANYARDS

The twin leg lanyard permits the user to move around to different anchor points whilst having one hook attached to an anchor point at all times. All the rules regarding the use of shock absorbing lanyards must be maintained.

Purpose: Shock absorbing lanyards are designed to reduce the fall arrest forces on the body. Correct use of twin leg lanyard

• The personal shock absorbing end of the lanyard MUST be attached to a fall arrest attachment point on the harness at all times. (fig. A) • DO NOT attach the lanyard legs to any part of the harness at any time (fig. B) This is know as “short circuiting” and could cause the lanyard to fail in the event of a fall. • It is best to use both of the lanyard’s legs at all times (fig. C) • Either or both lanyard tails MUST be attached to an anchorage at all times (fig. D)

If you are using a B-Safe Twin Leg Lanyard, you must not attach the unused leg to anything other than the designated attachment/ stowage point.
