B-Safe Retractable Lanyard

A retractable lanyard has a restoring spring which keeps the wire rope or webbing taut, allowing it to respond immediately in the event of a fall.

B-Safe Retractable Lanyards can be used when working on high buildings, bridges, roof’s and other workplaces involving fall hazards. They may be chosen over standard shock-absorbing lanyards for the following reasons:

1. B-Safe Self Retracting Lanyards are lightweight (1.2kg) and very compact compared to some lanyards

2. A self-retracting lanyard allows the worker freedom of movement, not possible with a longer shock absorber. Once tied off to an anchorage point, the worker can move around easily to accomplish their task

3. Because the energy absorber is contained within the compact unit of the B-Safe Self Retracting Lanyard, possible trips and falls caused by a lanyard dragging next to the worker are minimised

4. Of even more importance, is the fact that self-retracting lanyards require just centimetres to arrest freefalls and they slowly pull out, creating minimum impact and stress to the body. With shorter activation distance and shorter overall arresting distance, self-retracting lanyards reduce the risk of hitting the ground or any obstructions at a lower level
