    Lanyards are a popular solution for fall prevention in the fields of construction and general
    industry. If you are looking to buy a lanyards for your employees, keep in mind there are
    different types, which each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

    Choosing the right lanyards for your particular application can save you money and ensure
    the utmost protection for your workers.
  The most popular type of fall prevention lanyard on the market is the shock-absorbing lanyard. This type of
  lanyard is made from polyester webbing that is very tough, while still having the ability to stretch. Shock-absorbing
  lanyards typically offer a tensile strength of between 5,750 and 9,800 pounds, so they're clearly quite strong.
  The problem with shock-absorbing lanyards is that you have to carefully calculate the stretching distance versus
  the height of your particular application, since they only restrict falls over long distances.
                                               
      Self-retracting lanyards ( SRL) are typically more expensive, but they offer some advantages. To start,
      self-retracting lanyards are able to limit fall distance to under two feet. In addition, the best models come
      with load indicators, which easily allow you to see if a particular lanyard has been involved in a fall (at which
      point it should be taken out of service). Self-retracting lanyards range in length from 10 feet to over 100 feet
      and can be made of wire rope or nylon webbing.

      Pacific Rim Fall Protection, Inc. will help you pick the right SRL for your application based on environmental
      conditions and site specifics.

      Generally speaking, self-retracting lanyards are a higher-tech, safer solution for fall protection. Since they're
      more effective, however, they are also a bit more sensitive. For this reason, self-retracting lanyards require
      annual re-certification. The good news is that Pacific Rim Fall Protection, Inc. offers lanyard re-certification as
      part of our annual safety system re-certification services. If you choose to buy self-retracting lanyards, we'll be
      able to help you keep them up to specification.
