Safe clearance
distance required

When using fall arrest lanyards it is important that the user is aware of the safe clearance distance required below their feet. The graph to the right demonstrates how thet SpanSet range of lanyards have surpassed the requirements of EN355.

Differences between
Single and Twin
fall arrest lanyards

Single Lanyard Applications

• Fixed work positions where the anchor point doesn't change.
• Horizontal roof systems where the user is connected to a single mobile device on a system.
  (e.g., fixed horizontal lifelines)
• Confined spaces with minimal need for movement.
• Low-movement tasks such as inspecting equipment at a stationary point.

Twin Lanyard Applications

• Climbing structures (e.g., towers, scaffolding) where constant movement between anchor points is required.
• Construction sites, telecom towers, wind turbines, where moving from point to point is frequent.
• Maintaining 100% tie-off — the main reason for using twin lanyards.
• Tasks requiring continuous fall protection while transitioning anchor points.

 Fixed or adjustable Energy Absorbing Lanyard

• Basic and reliable solution.
• Anchor point is always at a known, optimal distance.
• Work in a static position.
• Applications: Inspecting equipment on a roof, MEWP works...

Elasticated Lanyard

• Convenience and comfort.
• Best for move frequently across your workspace
• Reduce snagging, tangling, or tripping on the lanyard.
• Applications: scaffolding or steel erection.

Looped/Tie-Back Lanyard

• Wrap the lanyard around a beam, post, or rebar.
• When there are no dedicated anchorage points.
• Multi-use tool without carrying extra gear (like anchor slings).
