OSHA & ANSI Compliance

MSA Workman series lanyards comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502(d) and OSHA 1910.140 and meet or exceed ANSI/ASSE Z359.13-2013. The deployable shock pack tears progressively during a fall, absorbing kinetic energy and limiting arrest force to ≤900 lbf — the ANSI/OSHA maximum for personal fall arrest systems.

FAQ

What is the MSA Workman series?

The MSA Workman series is a line of economical fall protection equipment designed for construction and general industry. It includes harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), and accessories — all engineered to meet ANSI Z359 and OSHA standards at a cost-effective price point.

What is a twin-leg (100% tie-off) lanyard?

A twin-leg lanyard has two legs extending from a single harness connection. Workers clip one leg to an anchor before unclipping the other, ensuring they are always attached — providing 100% tie-off while moving between anchor points. OSHA requires 100% tie-off for work on scaffolding and roofing in many situations.

What is an adjustable lanyard used for?

An adjustable lanyard (MSA 10113157) lets workers shorten the lanyard to minimize the free-fall distance. OSHA 1926.502(d) requires the anchor to be located as high as possible to limit free fall to 6 ft. An adjustable lanyard lets workers optimize the connection length for their specific anchor location.

What does "tie-back" mean on a lanyard?

A tie-back lanyard has one leg equipped with a large gate carabiner rated in all directions. The worker wraps the lanyard around a structural member (beam, column, pipe) and connects the carabiner back to the lanyard itself — creating an improvised anchor where no dedicated hardware exists.

What is a Personal Fall Limiter (PFL)?

A Personal Fall Limiter (PFL) is a compact self-retracting device that automatically keeps the lanyard taut as the worker moves. Unlike a traditional webbing lanyard, a PFL retracts instantly in a fall, limiting free-fall to a few inches rather than up to 6 ft. PFLs comply with ANSI Z359.14 and are specified under OSHA 1926.502(d).
