Selection and Applications

Purpose of an MSA Lanyard

Fall Arrest

The lanyard is part of a fall arrest system when used with an approved energy absorber and attached to the fall arrest attachment of a full body harness. See harness instructions for approved attachment points.

Twin Leg Energy-Absorbing Lanyard

Twin energy-absorbing lanyards allow continuous connection (tie-off) while the user moves between anchorage locations.

Work Restriction/Restraint

The lanyard can be used to restrict a user from reaching a fall hazard.

Work Positioning

The lanyard may be used with a fall arrest system for positioning a user to work at height. Class E lanyards as defined by CSA Z259.11-17 (Rebar assemblies) may be used for work positioning only.

Fall Arrest Attachment Element (D-ring) Extender

An extender can be connected to the back D-ring of the user's harness for better accessibility.
