FAQ

What is the difference between internal and external shock absorbers?

An internal shock absorber (Guardian 11200, 11202, 11203 series) is sewn inside the webbing core, creating a cleaner, snag-free profile. An external shock absorber pack (01220, 01230 series) is a separate canister attached to the webbing — both limit arrest forces to 900 lbf and meet ANSI Z359.13.

When is a dual-leg (100% tie-off) lanyard required?

OSHA does not explicitly require 100% tie-off in all situations, but many job site safety programs and some scaffold work rules require workers to remain connected at all times. A dual-leg Y-lanyard allows hooking the second leg before unhooking the first, maintaining continuous fall protection.

What is the difference between snap hooks and rebar hooks?

Snap hooks have a gate that opens for attachment to D-rings, lifelines, or beam trolleys. Rebar hooks have a larger gate opening (typically 1–1.5 inches) designed to hook over rebar, scaffold tubes, structural steel, or similar structural members.

What weight range do Guardian lanyards support?

Standard Guardian lanyards are rated for users weighing 130–310 lb, including clothing, tools, and equipment. For workers whose combined weight exceeds 310 lb, use a higher-capacity lanyard rated to 420 lb.

When should a non-shock absorbing lanyard be used?

Non-shock lanyards (like the 01271) are for restraint applications only — they prevent a worker from reaching the fall hazard edge. They must not be used for fall arrest where a free fall could occur, as the sudden arrest force could exceed the body's survivable limits without a shock absorber.
