Lanyards
Choosing a Fall Protection Lanyard
Lanyards connect a worker's harness to an anchor point. Werner makes nearly all of this collection: arc flash single leg and twinleg lanyards, 6-ft. DeCoil, DeCoil Stretch, SoftCoil, and DeCoil cable twinleg lanyards, adjustable and tie-back twinleg versions, and a 12-ft. free fall / 400 lb twinleg. Klein adds a breakaway lanyard for safety glasses, which is eyewear retention rather than fall protection.
What to Look For
- Single or twinleg. A twinleg lanyard lets you stay tied off while moving between anchor points.
- Arc flash rating. Electrical work near arc flash hazards calls for lanyards built for that use.
- Stretch and coil. Stretch and coiled webbing stays shorter and out of the way until needed.
- Tie-back. Tie-back lanyards wrap around a beam and hook back on themselves.

Lanyards FAQ
How do I choose lanyard length?
Most lanyards here are 6 ft. Check the available fall clearance below your work area and the capacity and free fall listed for each model. The 12-ft. free fall / 400 lb twinleg is a separate class for its specific use.
Can I use a fall protection lanyard for tools?
No. Tool lanyards are a different product built for tool weight. Fall protection lanyards should only connect a harness to an anchor.
