Overview

The Bailey expandable energy absorbing lanyard is designed for all day use on a fall arrest system. It extends from 1.4m to 2.0m, and the expandable design keeps the tail of the lanyard away from your feet so you can move around the work zone with extra reach. Snap hook connections, a hi-vis cover and an energy absorber for reduced force during a fall event complete the package.

The energy absorber is the part that matters in a fall. It is built to deploy and absorb energy, reducing the force transmitted to the body and the anchor point. The expandable body also means the lanyard is less likely to trip you while you work, because the slack is taken up rather than left trailing on the roof.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Use the lanyard with a full body roofers harness and a roof anchor, with a screwgate karabiner where a positive locked connection is needed. See the Safety Equipment range for the full fall protection kit. Inspect the lanyard and the absorber before each use and replace it after a fall event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a lanyard need an energy absorber?

In a fall, the body builds up energy that has to go somewhere. An energy absorbing lanyard has a built in absorber that deploys to slow the fall and reduce the force transmitted to the body and the anchor point, which is what makes the system much more survivable than a plain fixed lanyard.

How long is this lanyard?

It expands from 1.4m to 2.0m. The expandable design keeps the slack taken up while you move, so the tail does not sit around your feet, and it gives you extra reach in the work zone when you need to move further from the anchor.

What does it connect to?

The lanyard has snap hooks at each end. One end connects to the harness attachment point, normally the rear dorsal D-ring, and the other connects to an anchor point such as a roof anchor or a lifeline. Use a screwgate karabiner for connections that need a locked gate.
