Lanyard hook is one of the work safety equipment used as anti-fall during high-rise operation. Used with shock absorber and carbine. They make the bond to the rope of life as a whole.
Lanyard selection is made according to the surface to be worked on. Lanyard models that vary by surface include:
- Static rope lanyard
- Webbing lanyard
- Steel lanyard
- Dynamic rope lanyard
- Flexible lanyard
Apart from these, there are lanyard models that are rewind and adjustable according to the area to work. Shock absorber lanyards are used by people working in areas higher than 3 meters to prevent falling.
Positioner lanyard models are not anti-fall, they allow only two hands to work freely and provide safety.
Lanyard Price
Lanyards are used in different models depending on the working area and how high they will be run. Lanyard prices vary depending on the model and material. The use of occupational safety equipment protected by law is mandatory, especially in hazardous work. Before using the Lanyard hook, which model to select is determined by calculating the clean Drop Distance.
For safety, clean Drop Distance must be calculated each time before starting work. If this height is not calculated correctly, the length of the lanyard may be insufficient and cannot prevent it from falling to the ground.
A person using a Lanyard should not pass a lanyard under his arm during Operation. If a fall occurs, the lanyard passing under the arm can cause injuries. In general, when selecting lanyard, the arm length of the person who will work is taken into account.
Types Of Lanyard
Single-arm and double-arm lanyard models are selected according to the area to be used. Double-arm models are usually selected for high-altitude work. It is one of the reasons for choosing not to restrict the area of movement.
People who will work at altitude must use lanyard in combination with a shock absorber. In case of a fall, the shock absorbers gradually turn on and cut off the energy. Thus, the impact effect is minimized. Before use, it is necessary to check the lanyard, especially to ensure the strength of the ropes.
Lanyard should not be used if Wear is seen in a certain place during the check. Carabiner used together should be preferred locked.
