b. Fall Arrest Lanyards
Fall arrest lanyards contain an energy absorbing element that will
absorb the energy of a fall reducing the fall’s impact on the user.
There are two energy absorber types. One consolidates the energy
absorber into one compact package, the Shock Pack. The other
type, the Werner SoftCoil™ lanyard with energy absorbing inner core
employs energy absorbing webbing the full length of the lanyard leg
inside tubular webbing. This entire lanyard stretches when there is
an impact so there is no separate Shock Pack. Both absorb energy
equally; the traditional shock pack has the advantage of enabling
use of different types of lanyard legs, while the SoftCoil™ type is
slightly more compact.
All Werner shock absorbing lanyards are designed for a maximum
free fall distance of 6 feet unless otherwise indicated on the product
labels. Every Werner lanyard can be had with a variety of different
connectors, according to the intended use. The different lanyard
types are:
1. Werner DeCoil Energy Absorbing Lanyard with DCELL Shock

Available with a variety of hook options. The hook, carabiner,
or loop on the shock pack end is always attached to the

ii. Dual leg

Available with a variety of hook options. Again always connect
to the dorsal (back) D-ring with the hook, carabiner, or loop at
the shock pack end of the lanyard.
