Safewaze Shock Absorbing Lanyard, 6 ft Stretch Low Profile

The Safewaze shock absorbing lanyard is a 6 ft stretch design with a low-profile energy absorber, made for fall protection from aerial lifts and bucket trucks. The stretch webbing keeps slack down so it is less likely to snag around the bucket.

Why a stretch lanyard in the bucket

In a bucket or on a lift, a loose lanyard catches on controls and edges. Stretch webbing stays shorter at rest and extends as you move, so there is less loop hanging around. The low-profile shock pack sits close to your back instead of bouncing around.

Pair it with a full body harness and the anchor point your lift maker specifies. See the rest of our aerial lift fall arrest gear.

Low-profile packs are also more comfortable when you are leaning over the bucket edge to make a cut. A bulky absorber can catch on the bucket lip and pull at your harness, which is annoying at best. A slim pack stays out of the way and lets you work normally.

Use and inspection

Follow the lift and lanyard makers' instructions and your company's fall protection program. Check required fall clearance, since a shock absorbing lanyard needs room to deploy.

Inspect webbing, stitching, the shock pack and the snap hooks before each use. Remove the lanyard from service if it has arrested a fall or shows damage, and get proper fall protection training.

Keep the lanyard clear of the chainsaw and any sharp edges on the bucket. Store it clean and dry, out of sunlight and away from chemicals and fuel.
