Lanyards: Essential safety devices that connect the worker's harness to an anchor
point. These flexible straps or ropes are designed to absorb the force of a fall and
limit the stress transmitted to the worker's body. They come in various types
including shock-absorbing, self-retracting, and positioning lanyards, each serving
specific fall protection needs.

Anchorage Connectors: Critical components that provide secure attachment
points for fall protection systems. These specially designed devices are
engineered to safely distribute fall forces and must be capable of supporting at
least 5,000 pounds per attached worker. They come in various forms including

beam clamps, concrete anchors, and roof anchors, each specifically designed for
different structural attachment points and working conditions.
Lifelines shown in the images above represent vital fall protection equipment that
provides continuous anchored support for workers at height. These essential
safety systems come in various forms including vertical and horizontal
configurations, and can be either temporary or permanent installations. The

illustrations demonstrate proper lifeline setup and usage for maintaining constant
fall protection while allowing necessary worker mobility.
Fall Arrest vs Fall Restraint:
Working at Height Training 13
Fall arrest systems are designed to safely stop a fall after it occurs, while fall
restraint systems prevent falls by restricting worker movement to safe areas. Both
systems require proper training, inspection, and maintenance to ensure worker
safety. Regular inspection of all components is critical to maintain system integrity.
