If a worker falls and is forced to remain suspended for any length of
time, physical damage to the body or even death can result. For this
reason Werner Co., OSHA, ANSI, CSA and most local regulations
require that a rescue plan and the means to implement the rescue
plan are in place before use of this equipment.
f. Training
OSHA, ANSI, and most local ordinances require that workers using
this product receive adequate training by a competent person
before use of this product. These instructions and their entire
contents should be a part of that training.
II. Lanyard Descriptions
Lanyards have a variety of attachment hardware types and types of
lanyard legs depending on their intended use. Use the lanyard type
that is appropriate for the work being done.
a. Fall Restraint or Positioning Lanyards
With no shock pack or other provision for energy absorption these
lanyards fall outside the dynamic performance requirements of
OSHA and ANSI standards for energy absorbing lanyards. Without
energy absorption, these lanyards are to be used only for
positioning/fall restraint either when there is no possibility of
a fall or to prevent workers from reaching a fall hazard.
