This leaflet is mainly aimed at employers who use fall arrest equipment incorporating energy-absorbing lanyards made from webbing. It gives generic advice on inspection regimes for this equipment where it is used to provide protection against falls from a height.

However, many of the principles can also be applied to non-energy-absorbing lanyards and safety harnesses used for the same purpose. They can also be applied to similar equipment made from rope.

Contents:

• Introduction;

• Legal requirements for inspection;

• Inspection regime;

• Scope of the inspection regime;

• Examples of defects and damage;

• Withdrawing lanyards from use;

• Examples of lanyards that have been withdrawn.
