The Dual Leg Lanyard – Dual leg lanyards are personal lifelines with two separate legs, connected at one end. Double self-retracting lifelines also create the same double leg effect. For jobs that require 100% tie-off, a dual leg lanyard or double self-retracting lifeline utilizes both legs and keeps one attached to an anchor point and the other leg is free to move to the next anchor point before disengaging the first leg again, thus achieving the 100% tie-off.
Can you hook two lanyards together?
May 11, 2005 Paul Hayes Sundt Construction 3940 Industrial Boulevard Suite 100-D P.O. Box 2280 West Sacramento, CA 95691 Re: Under Subpart M, whether a lanyard may be connected to another lanyard by a snaphook, provided the potential fall distance is six feet or less.
Dear Mr. Hayes: This is in response to your letter dated January 26, 2005, to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
You asked about the requirements for fall protection equipment, specifically lanyards and snaphooks, and whether two lanyards may be connected to one another.
We have paraphrased your question as follows: Question: Under the requirements in Part 1926 Subpart M, may one lanyard (which does not have an integral deceleration device) be attached to another lanyard (which does have an integral deceleration device), using locking snaphooks, provided that the free fall distance would not exceed six feet? Answer: Title 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M defines a “lanyard” in §1926.500(b) as follows: “.a flexible line of rope, wire rope, or strap which generally has a connector at each end for connecting the body belt or body harness to a deceleration device, lifeline, or anchorage.” In the situation you described, the lanyards have locking snaphooks on either end.
One lanyard is connected to the safety line, the other is connected to the worker’s harness, and the two are joined in the middle. Title 29 CFR 1926.502(d)(6) states: (d) * * * (6) Unless the snaphook is a locking type and designed for the connections, snaphooks shall not be engaged: (i) directly to webbing, rope or wire rope; (ii) to each other; (iii) to a Dee-ring to which another snaphook or other connector is attached; (iv) to a horizontal lifeline; or (v) to any object which is incompatibly shaped or dimensioned in relation to the snaphook such that unintentional disengagement could occur by the connected object being able to depress the snaphook keeper and release itself.
The snaphooks must be designed by the manufacturer to be connected to each other without failing. Also, in planning the system to comply with the requirements in §1926.502, keep in mind that the use of two lanyards may increase the distance to a complete stop in a fall. In summary, if two lanyards are hooked to one another with locking snaphooks, and one end is connected to a safety line and the other to a harness, the snaphooks must be designed by the manufacturer for such use.
Care should be taken to ensure that sufficient distance exists for complete fall arrest to occur. If you need additional information, please contact us by fax at: U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, Directorate of Construction, Office of Construction Standards and Guidance, fax # 202-693-1689.
What is a twin tail lanyard used for?
Twin leg lanyards – also known as twin tail lanyards, double lanyards or Y lanyards – can be used with a wide range of fall protection systems. The Y-shaped design makes twin lanyards a great option for any job that requires a 100% tie-off at all times.

With so many different style lanyards to choose from, we are here to help you make the right choice. When selecting a lanyard to go with there are key factors you should know.
: Webbing must be able to endure under tough conditions, such as exposure to weather elements from sunlight and rough use by other job site factors. We carry lanyards that are made for welding and arc flash hazards. These lanyards are made from Nomex and/or Kevlar and also certain cable lanyards. There are also normal cable lanyards that offer extra durability for abrasive situations. Nylon or polyester rope are used on positioning lanyards and a few shock absorbing lanyards, primarily for the wind energy work environment. : Snap hooks are the most common out of the bunch. Rebar Hooks are large hooks with a large gate opening, commonly called scaffold hooks and pelican hooks. And there are tie-back carabiners, that can be used like a normal snap hook or used to make your lanyard into it’s own anchor point. Connectors & hooks all are available in steel and high strength aluminum to make your lanyard lighter weight. : Certain jobs require a user to have 100% tie-off capabilities, in these cases you need to have a double or twin leg lanyard. Single leg lanyards are lighter weight and you don’t have an extra leg hassling you while you are working. It is your duty to make sure you have the right lanyard for your job site requirements. : 6 ft. is the standard lanyard length, but we have adjustable, shorter, and longer lanyards available. Make sure the length of your lanyard is suitable to allow yourself to do your job without hindering your movement. Make sure a lanyard is kept as a short as possible to minimize free fall distance. : Impact indicators enables users to easily inspect a lanyard, to know if it has been involved in a fall. Once a energy absorber or shock absorber has been deployed, the lanyard must be removed from service and properly disposed. : Lanyards used for your fall arrest system must contain a shock absorber that limits the arresting forces to 1800 lbs. or less. Most of the lanyards we carry limit the fall arrest force to 900 lbs. for extra protection. When attaching a lanyard to an anchor point at your feet, you need a specialty free fall lanyard, that has an extra long and stronger energy absorber to reduce the much greater impact force that happens when tying off at your feet. These lanyards are also used for the big fellas that need a 420 lb. rated lanyard, when used for the big guys it’s used as a normal lanyard. Most lanyards have a 310 lb. rating. Shock absorbing lanyards come in an external shock pack PVC sleeve and tears out during a fall arrest. Tubular lanyards have an integrated energy absorber through out the length of the lanyard in a low profile design. Also available in an expandable or stretch style, which keeps the lanyard shorter and expands and contracts when you move.
What is a double sided lanyard?
Quality Double Ended Lanyards You Can Afford – Double ended lanyards are exactly how you imagined them to be – lanyard cords with two separate ends. The minor adjustment done on the straps allows you to carry items that traditional lanyards can’t hold.
What are the 2 types of lanyards?
Style – There are two styles of lanyard, standard and double ended. A standard lanyard is one strip of fabric looped round and joined with a clip, hook or some other form of attachment. A double ended lanyard is not joined in the centre but has a clip at either end, making this an ideal solution if you are using the lanyard for ID purposes, as it prevents the badge holder from twisting around and obscuring the identification.
When using a two legged lanyard when can you have both legs anchored at the same time?
Both lanyard legs should only be connected during anchorage transition. While performing work, only one leg should be connected to an anchorage or anchorage connector at a time.
Which end of lanyard attached to harness?
4. Connect Your PFAS – After you properly install your anchor point, you need to attach the rest of the system to it. How you connect it typically depends on whether you are using a PFAS or an SRL system. However, you should always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you use a PFAS system, you will typically attach your lifeline to the anchor as your manufacturer recommends.
You then attach your rope grab and lanyard to the lifeline.
First, inspect and don your harness, and ensure it is safe and comfortable.
Attach the lanyard (the shock absorber end) to the D- ring, which is located on the back of your harness.
You may need help, so do this on the ground. If you use an SRL system, attach it to your anchor directly unless it has an integrated anchor system. Then, attach the snap hook end to your dorsal D-ring. The benefit of this more complicated system is that the SRL acts like a seatbelt and eliminates the possibility of a fall, when used correctly.
What is the difference between a lanyard and a harness?
Understanding the Basics of Fall Protection Equipment – Safety harnesses and lanyards make up a significant part of fall arrest systems, designed to protect workers from fall hazards. The safety harness provides a point of attachment for a fall arrest system, distributing fall forces over the body, while the lanyard the harness to an anchorage point.
How does a twin tail work?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the aircraft design. For the hairstyle, see Bunches and Pigtail, A twin-tailed B-25 Mitchell in flight A twin tail is a type of vertical stabilizer arrangement found on the empennage of some aircraft, Two vertical stabilizers—often smaller on their own than a single conventional tail would be—are mounted at the outside of the aircraft’s horizontal stabilizer,
This arrangement is also known as an H-tail, as it resembles a capital “H” when viewed from the rear. The twin tail was used on a wide variety of World War II multi-engine designs that saw mass production, especially on the American B-24 Liberator and B-25 Mitchell bombers, the British Avro Lancaster and Handley Page Halifax heavy bombers, and the Soviet Union’s Petlyakov Pe-2 attack bomber.
Variations on the twin tail include the triple tail, twin boom tail and double tail,
Why do all lanyards have a twist?
Why do lanyards have a twist? – One thing that impacts the length of the lanyard is the twist. The twist in the loop is not a mistake, rather, it allows the wearer to position the lanyard directly around their neck. This makes it more comfortable to wear but also ensures that the lanyard lays flat against their chest.
Why do lanyards have a half twist?
The antiSHOCK chainsaw lanyard from Teufelberger is another innovation for arborists. What makes this lanyard for tools so special is how it absorbs forces.

What are the different types of harness lanyards?
Types of Safety Harness Lanyard used at Height – The main types of lanyard used in height safety procedures include work positioning lanyards, restraint lanyards and fall arrest lanyards. Some lanyards are manufactured from high strength webbing and some from kernmantle rope.
A number of lanyards will have a fixed length and some lanyards will be adjustable, some will have shock absorbing properties, some do not. The ones without energy absorption are generally used for restraint and work positioning tasks where the user is restrained from reaching areas where they may potentially fall, whereas lanyards with energy absorption are used for fall arrest situations where a fall is possible so that they can reduce the forces implied by a fall.
Lanyards with shock absorbing properties have a special separate component consisting of a pack of webbing designed to tear in a controlled manner and thereby slowing the acceleration rate and reducing the forces implied. These absorbers should never be used again if they have been arrested, the Kratos energy absorbers clearly show when they are ok to use and when they are not.
Can a lanyard be tied to itself?
2. Misuse of Lanyards – A common mistake made with lanyards is users wrapping them back upon themselves. Most fall arrest lanyards are not designed to wrap around a structure and hook onto themselves, but a worker may try to set it up in that way if no other anchorage point is available.
This can cause equipment failure due to damaged to the lanyard material or improper gate loading. This problem can be solved with anchorage straps, which are designed to be wrapped back on themselves – providing the proper strength needed to be safe while also remaining accessible. Furthermore, regardless of if a lanyard is designed for wrapping around beams, piping, ductwork, or around a guardrail, with time, the sawing action could damage it.
This problem can be mitigated by using a beam clamp or beam straps as an anchorage connector.
Which side is a lanyard worn?
A Captain of the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps wears a scarlet lanyard over her right shoulder. – A Captain of the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps wears a scarlet lanyard over her right shoulder. Virtually nothing is written in authoritative text that either mentions a dress lanyard or details its early development except in the period immediately after World War Two.
What little is known can be classified as modern myth.
For instance such stories have it that the lanyard was developed for the cavalry to bundle fodder for animals and later used by the artillery to hold various implements, when in fact nothing can be found to support these suggestions.
The word ‘Lanyard’ itself is commonly used to describe a short rope to hold something, and can therefore be used to describe various items in use by the military.
For instance a lanyard can be used to hold a knife or can opener and can even be part of the trigger mechanism of an artillery piece, but these items are not the forerunner of the modern day Lanyard. Lanyard of the type worn today are first mentioned in military text within the British Army’s Dress Regulation of 1900, which states, that all Officers of a unit should carry a whistle attached to a silk lanyard the same colour as the coat or jacket except for the Light Infantry which will wear a lanyard of dark green.
This first mention gives a clear glimpse of the possible development of the lanyard, given that it was to be made of silk and, for one select organisation, coloured. Given that the lanyard was made of silk, it indicates it was to be worn with dress uniforms to signify status. The first mention of a lanyard in an Australian manual describes it as an item issued with a military clasp knife to enable it to be secured to the uniform to prevent loss.
This type of lanyard was a simple piece of twine looped in the same fashion as a modern lanyard but coloured a natural brown or khaki. These lanyards were still issued to soldiers up until the 1980’s and are not the forerunner of the lanyard used on the dress uniforms in more recent times.
Although not mentioned in the various Dress Manuals from Federation to the post-war period, photographs indicate that some Artillery units wore a dress lanyard as part of their formal uniform. The lanyard was generally worn looped around the left shoulder with the loose end in the breast pocket. In 1920 the position was changed to the right side to simplify retrieval of the loose end from the pocket when a bandolier was worn.
The practice of wearing lanyards, of various colours, on the right shoulder, applies to all members of the Australian Army except for Infantry Corps units and ‘A’ Field Battery, Royal Australian Artillery who wear their lanyards on the left shoulder.
Officer ranks colonel and above and senior regimental sergeant major’s do not wear lanyards.
With the creation of the regular army in 1949, changes were introduced for the new permanent force.
These changes included adopting new uniforms, Corps badges and other accoutrements styled on the sister organisations of the British Army.
During the early 1950’s, whistles were introduced as an item of general issue to all ranks of the Corps of Staff Cadets and to personnel of the rank of sergeant and above. Whistles were attached to a coloured lanyard and worn round the right shoulder with the whistle placed in the top pocket.

What is the importance of harness lanyard?
What is a full body safety harness? A full body safety harness is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is designed to be worn by a worker to provide fall protection when working at height. Harnesses are recommended to be used on Boom type platforms, they are not usually a safe addition when working from a vertical lift, other than in exceptional circumstances.
If you are uncertain, a risk assessment should determine whether it is more appropriate to wear a harness to address the fall risk. https://www.ipaf.org/en-gb/resource-library/fall-protection-mewps-h1 A harness must be used alongside an adjustable restraint lanyard, which is a line of webbing, synthetic or wire rope that is used to secure the workers safety harness by the D-ring to an anchorage point to the platform.
If a fall were to occur the lanyard and harness will evenly distribute the force of the fall across the body and keep the worker upright. It is important to conduct a risk assessment before starting work at height tasks to prevent falls from height Download your free HLS risk assessment template Using a harness for work at height offers several benefits, focused on safety and risk reduction.
Fall protection: The purpose of wearing a fitted full body harness and lanyard correctly is to prevent falls from height. By using appropriate anchorage points that should be positioned above the worker, will reduce the distance of the swing if a fall were to occur. This protects the worker from impacting any equipment or building by acting as a barrier, minimising the risk of serious injuries or fatalities.
Increased Stability: To improve the performance of completing a task by keeping a worker stable and balanced while working at height. The straps featured on a harness can be adjusted to fit securely and centred around the body reducing the stress and fear of falling from height. This stability allows workers to maintain control of their movements.
Hands-Free Operation: Harnesses often includes multiple attachment points for tools and equipment, allowing workers to have their hands free while working at height. This feature improves productivity and enables the completion of complex tasks that require the use of both hands. It also prevents the risk of injuring others on the ground if a tool were to accidentally slips from a worker’s hands.
Distribution of impact forces: The body harness straps that are positioned over the shoulders, chest, waist, and shoulders are designed to distribute the forces exerted on the body during a fall. If your harness is incorrectly worn, the forces encountered will be diverted to a vulnerable part of the body, resulting in severe injury and suspension trauma.
Psychological Comfort: By wearing a full body harness the right size that is not too tight or loose can provide comfort and confidence to workers when performing tasks at height, especially at awkward angles where you do not want the material of the harness to restrict mobility. Having psychological discomfort can impact focus and concentration, so it is important to prioritise a worker’s comfort to improve their overall well-being.
Compliance with Safety Regulations: The work at height regulations 2005 states, that those working at height must be competent and be trained on how to avoid falling, to minimise the distance and consequences should they fall to avoid injury, as well as how to use relevant equipment. Having a fall protection system in place will ensure that employers and workers are compliant to health and safety regulations and avoid potential fines.
According to the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 (as amended) “Every employer shall ensure that suitable personal protective equipment is provided to their workers who may be exposed to a risk to their health or safety while at work except where and to the extent that such risk has been adequately controlled by other means which are equally or more effective.”
Versatility: Harnesses are available in variety of designs and configurations to suit various levels of comfort and work environments, including construction, industrial maintenance, rope access, and more. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of tasks at height.
Training and Education: Wearing a harness promotes a safety-conscious culture and emphasizes the importance of proper training and education on working at height. This focus on training can increase awareness, knowledge, and skills related to fall protection and overall workplace safety.
What harness training is available? Falls from platform are the number one cause of non-fatal and fatal accidents when using MEWPs, with the risk of an operator being thrown away from the platform if a machine tilts, encounters an obstacle, or if an operator overreaches.
If you work in an industry that requires you to work at elevated heights, we encourage you take the training, and learn how to effectively use fall protection equipment to supply more safety in the workplace. We have recently updated the harness training IPAF accredited courses on our website, where there is now a requirement to complete the harness awareness and user theory and practical course, before starting the harness inspection practical course,
The skills you gain will help reduce the risk of a potentially fatal accidents and protect your company from the repercussions of those accidents. Conclusion It is essential to know how to use and select a harness and restraint lanyard correctly, and how to conduct statutory inspections.
This is because it is essential to maintain all equipment in a safe condition and recognise defective harnesses due to deterioration to prevent falls when working at height.

What is a safety lanyard used for?
Safety Harness Lanyards are a vital link of personal fall arrest and work positioning systems. They consist of a length of webbing, cable or rope with a hardware connection on both ends. Their role is to securely attach the worker’s harness to an anchor, lifeline, or structure such as rebar in the case of chain rebar assemblies.
