    Inspecting your lanyard


    A lanyard is a flexible line of webbing, or a synthetic or wire rope, used to secure a safety belt or
    full body harness to a lifeline or anchor.
    Inspect the lanyard before each use. Check the rope or webbing, the snap hooks, and the manufacturer’s label
    for additional user information.

    Rope or webbing
    • Inspect the whole length of the lanyard and
    the eye splices. If you have a three-strand rope
    lanyard, carefully twist the rope open (as shown)
    to look for worn, broken, or cut fibres. Do not
    over-twist, or you could permanently deform the
    rope.
    • Web lanyards should be discarded if
    – The webbing has cuts, holes, or is worn or
    frayed, or
    – The load-bearing stitches are damaged
    • If you find any signs of deterioration, burns, or
    broken or damaged strands, or if you have any
    reason to suspect the lanyard, do not use it.

    Snap hooks
    • CSA Standard Z259.1 requires snap hooks to
    be self-locking to prevent accidental roll-out.
    Roll-out can occur when small D-rings, or other
    attachment hardware, cause the snap-hook gate
    to push open in a twisting action, thus separating
    the two components (as shown).

    Manufacturer’s label
    The manufacturer’s label on a CSA-approved lanyard
    will contain the following information:
    • Manufacturer or vendor identification
    • Length and diameter of the lanyard (if applicable)
    • Material from which the lanyard was made
    • Date the lanyard was manufactured
    • Model number
    • “Warning—any unit which has seen fall arrest service should not be used after such service”
