Fall Arrest Blocks & Lanyards

Fall Arrest Lanyards are similar to a restraint lanyard in the sense that it is a simple lanyard that secures the harness to an anchor point, but with a shock absorber added which breaks a fall once a certain amount of energy is detected, this absorber contains a bundle of webbing which slows the decent of the person falling, once a fall has happend this is made very clear as the device will have burst its casing and the additional webbing will be visable, once a fall has been experienced the lanyard must be disposed of.
Fall Arrest blocks are similar in the way they operate but come in much longer lengths to allow the wearer further freedom, most of the time in the form of a 'cable block' the fall arrest block can be secured to an anchor point while the other end secured by karabiner to the users harness, when a fall is detected the block will carefully slow the decent of the user in order to reduce any injury as much as possible and absorb the energy created by the fall. Once a fall has been detected most blocks will require servicing at a authorised dealer such as Lifting Equipment Store.
