MSA Workman Twin Leg Lanyard — Energy-Absorbing, 100% Tie-Off, 10073708

The twin leg lanyard for 100% tie-off — MSA Workman

A twin leg lanyard keeps you connected as you move, and the MSA Workman energy-absorbing lanyard is a clean, no-frills version. Two legs each carry a 36C snap hook, so you keep one clipped to an anchor while you move the other to the next — continuous 100% tie-off across a structure. The energy absorber uses a tear-tape design that keeps the average fall-arrest force low, protecting both you and the anchor, and it sits under a clear protective cover so you can inspect it at a glance. It is a lightweight, low-profile 6 ft lanyard in polyester.

Shoppers searching a double leg lanyard, a twin leg energy absorbing lanyard, or a 100 percent tie off lanyard land here; as an energy absorbing lanyard it is the connecting device between your harness and anchors. Match it to your harness and anchors, and run the clearance math, covered below.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What the Workman twin-leg is for

Moving across a structure while staying tied off — construction, steel, and general industry where you pass anchor points and cannot risk unclipping. It sits in the lanyards collection, is the connector in the ABC system explained in the fall protection equipment guide and the ABCDs of fall protection, and applies wherever a fall hazard triggers the rules in when is fall protection required.

Building the system around the lanyard

Attach the shared end to the back D-ring of a harness from the full body harnesses collection — ranked in the best safety harness guide — and clip the two legs to anchors from the anchor points collection, sized to the anchor strength requirements and ranked in the best roof anchors guide, with rated connectors where needed. Inspect the harness to the harness inspection checklist, and fit a suspension trauma strap for the rescue plan.

How the Workman twin-leg compares

For rebar and structural steel, the twin-leg SafeWaze V-Line swaps snap hooks for rebar hooks; for a single leg you can adjust, the SafeWaze FS560-AJ and MSA Workman adjustable set to length. Where clearance is tight, a self-retracting lifeline or a twin-leg personal fall limiter arrests shorter — the trade-offs are in the shock-absorbing lanyard vs SRL guide. Browse the lanyards & lifelines collection, or build a rig from the best fall protection kits. Everything lives in the fall protection collection.

Safety note: a lanyard is one part of a personal fall arrest system — it works only with a rated full body harness and a rated anchor, under OSHA 1926.502. With a twin-leg lanyard, keep the working leg anchored at all times and park the unused leg on the harness keeper, not on a gear loop that could fail; do not clip a leg back onto the harness in a way that bypasses the absorber. Run the full fall-clearance calculation for the 6 ft length plus the absorber's deployment, verify the labeled capacity, and retire the lanyard after any fall or a deployed absorber.

Ordering FAQ

Is the MSA Workman twin-leg lanyard available?
Availability varies — this MSA model can be temporarily unavailable. Check the linked Amazon listing for current stock and delivery before ordering.

What does the twin-leg design give me?
Two legs let you keep one snap hook clipped to an anchor while you move the other to the next — so you stay connected as you travel, giving continuous 100% tie-off.

What hooks does it have?
Two 36C snap hooks — larger-gate hooks that are easy to clip and unclip with gloves. Confirm they suit your harness D-ring and anchor points before rigging.

How long is it?
6 ft. It is a fixed-length twin-leg lanyard, not adjustable; if you need to vary the length, choose an adjustable lanyard instead.

How does the energy absorber work?
The Workman energy absorber uses a tear-tape design that pays out in a controlled way during a fall to keep the average arrest force low — protecting both you and the anchor. Once it has deployed, the lanyard must be removed from service.

What is the clear cover for?
A clear, durable cover over the shock-absorber labels protects them from wear and lets you inspect the absorber and read the label without opening anything.

What is it made of?
Polyester webbing with a lightweight, low-profile body. It is built for daily wear at height.

What is the weight capacity?
Check the product label and MSA instructions for the rated capacity before use, and confirm it suits your worker weight plus tools. Do not exceed the labeled rating.

How does it connect to my harness?
One shared end attaches to your harness back D-ring, and the two legs’ 36C snap hooks connect to your anchor points — the standard twin-leg fall-arrest arrangement.

Is the Workman twin-leg lanyard OSHA compliant?
As the connecting device in a fall arrest rig, it works within a compliant setup when paired with a rated full body harness and anchor under OSHA 1926.502. Confirm the ratings on the label.

How do I inspect it before use?
Check the webbing for cuts, fraying, burns, and chemical damage; the stitching for pulled threads; the snap hooks for function; and the shock absorber through its clear cover. Retire it after any fall or a deployed absorber.

How do I reorder for a crew?
Reorder from this page — the linked Amazon listing makes equipping each worker with a twin-leg lanyard quick.
