Choosing the correct lanyard to work alongside your safety harness is important.

If there is a risk of a fall users will need to ensure they use a fall arrest lanyard. This kind of lanyard integrates an energy absorbing unit which will absorb the forces in the event of a fall.

If you are working and there is no risk of a fall then a work restraint lanyard can be used. The restraint lanyard acts as a leash to stop you from reaching an area where a fall can take place.
