Dynamic Rope Knotted Lanyards

Primary functions

CE EN 892 requires that lanyard hold a minimum of 5 factor 1.77 falls with 80kg mass and:
Limit impact force: less than or equal to 12kN
Limit static elongation: less than or equal to 10 %
Dynamic elongation: less than or equal to 40 %

Attach the lanyard to the ventral or sternal D ring using a knot, such as the overhand, figure 8
Use a knot such as the overhand, figure 8, or barrel knot with a locking carabiner on the other end of the lanyard.
Limit length to keep device within reach at full extension, maximum 1m.
Limit falls to less than 0.5m in length, with a fall factor of less than 0.5.
Limit slack in the lanyard as much as possible.
Avoid areas where there is a fall risk.
Avoid contact with sharp edges and high temperatures.
Be aware that nylon is weaker and less abrasion resistant when wet.

Remove all knots.
Visually check the condition of the sheath for the full length of the rope.
Make sure there are no cuts, burns, frayed strands, fuzzy areas or signs of chemicals.
Be particularly careful to check for soft spots.
