III. Connections

a. Lanyard Use

Connect the shock pack end of the lanyard (or the label end of

the no-shock-pack SoftCoil lanyards) ONLY to the harness’ back

D-ring, NEVER to any other connection.

b. Connecting to Harness

1. Connect the lanyard to the rear D-ring for general fall arrest.

1. Connect the opposite end of the lanyard to an anchor or anchor

connector ensuring the connection is made with compatible

never to a permanently xed component on

the harness (hip D-ring, chest D-ring, etc.).
