Why the Guardian 01230 keeps you connected on the move

A single-leg lanyard forces a dangerous gap every time you cross to a new anchor. The Guardian 01230 closes it with two legs: one stays clipped while you move the other to the next anchor, giving true 100% tie-off. It keeps Guardian's external shock-absorber pack that limits arrest force to 900 lbf or less and is easy to inspect for deployment, and it meets ANSI Z359.13-2013, OSHA 1926 Subpart M, and ANSI A10.32. It is the dual-leg partner to Guardian's single-leg 01220. As lanyards go, this is the connected-and-inspectable pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It is protection that never lets go while you move.

What the Guardian 01230 listing documents

From the published specs: a dual-leg 100% tie-off design; an external shock-absorber pack at or below 900 lbf; two anchor snap hooks; a 130 to 310 lb capacity; 5,000 lb tensile strength; and ANSI Z359.13-2013 / OSHA 1926 Subpart M / ANSI A10.32 compliance.

The safety harness guide pairs the harness.

Building a complete fall arrest system

A lanyard is one of three parts. For the harness, the full-body harnesses collection; for anchors, the anchor points collection and roof anchors guide; for complete sets, the fall protection kits collection and kits guide; and the full fall protection collection, the lanyards and lifelines collection, plus self-retracting lifelines span every category.

Where it fits by job and crew orders

The Guardian 01230 suits steel erectors, roofers, and construction crews who move between anchors and want an inspectable dual-leg lanyard — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Follow the manufacturer's guidance on the unused leg, keep the weight in range, and retire the lanyard after any fall.
