Product Description
18-Inch Shock Absorbing Extension Lanyard: Enhanced Reach and Safety
The 18-inch Shock Absorbing Extension Lanyard is designed to increase accessibility and improve safety when working at heights. It connects directly to the dorsal D-ring of a safety harness, effectively extending it by 18 inches. This extension makes it significantly easier for workers to reach behind and make secure connections, ideal for those who frequently connect and disconnect throughout the day.
In addition to enhancing accessibility, this extension lanyard also integrates shock absorption to reduce the impact forces during a fall. It can be used in combination with a non-shock lanyard for Fall Arrest applications, but users must account for the added length when calculating free fall distance and fall clearance.
