LY 310 Kevlar twin-leg lanyard questions and CSA
Is the Safety Direct LY 310 Kevlar twin-leg lanyard CSA certified?
Yes. Safety Direct states it is certified to CSA Z259.11-17 for workers 110 to 310 lb.
What is the difference between the Kevlar and polyester absorber?
Both are 310 energy absorbers. The Kevlar absorber versions (LY1K8K, LY3K8K) keep the whole lanyard in Kevlar for hot work; the polyester absorber versions (LY1K8P, LY3K8P) cost less.
How do I connect a twin-leg lanyard?
Clip the snap hook closest to the energy absorber to your back D-ring and use the two leg hooks to stay tied off as you move. Never clip an unused leg back to the harness unless the harness has a lanyard keeper.
How much clearance does the LY 310 Kevlar lanyard need?
Safety Direct lists a 6 ft maximum free fall and up to 11.3 ft of deployment. Add harness stretch and a safety margin.
Pair the LY 310 Kevlar twin-leg lanyard with a full system
Use it with a Kevlar (Flame Guard) harness and a rated anchor for a hot-work fall arrest system.
