A WARNING OSHA requires that all personal OPEequipment must be taken out of service immediately afterbeing subjected to a fall impact.

A WARNING Snaps hooks should only be attached toan approved fall-arrest anchorage capable of supporting5,000 Ibs. (22.2 kN) per each attached worker.

Deceleration Units .The deceleration unit on these fall-arrest

connecting devices consists of overlapped nylonwebbing heavily cross-stitched together with nylonthread and sewn into a protective break-away jacket.Most of the fall-arrest impact is absorbed byprogressive tearing away of the nylon stitching. Thefully-released stitching extends original length of thelanyard by a total of 3.5 ft (1 m). Rebound is virtuallyeliminated.

Aircraft-Cable LanyardVinyl-coated flexible steel cable (also referred to

as aircraft cable) lanyards are equipped with apermanently attached Klein-Lok® snap hook ateach end and are available in fixed lengths. Used inpositioning, suspension and retrieval applications,when combined with a deceleration unit, thesecable lanyards can become part of a fall-arrestsystem. Aircraft cable must NEVER be usedaround electrical lines or energized equipment.Because of their superior resistance to hostileenvironments, these lanyards are recommendedfor use around hazards such as open flame, rough-edged structural members and welding splatter.It will not resist, however, the flame of a torch.

Aircraft-Cable Lanyard

This 7/32" (6 mm) diameter aircraft-cable lanyard is vinylcovered, and has a total diameter of 9/32" (7 mm). HasKlein-Lok® snap hook with 1 1 / 1 6 " (17 mm) throat open-ing on each end. Used primarily by welders and/or as apositioning device in work areas where there are sharpedges. Because aircraft cable has virtually no elasticity,these lanyards should NOT be used for fall-arrest with-out a shock-absorbing device. It is also NOT to be usedaround energized equipment. If any possibility for a free-fall exists, a shock-absorbing device such as a decelera-tion unit, Cat. No. 87409, must be used with these lan-yards; or use a Klein deceleration unit, Cat. No. 87411 .Cat. No. Length87414 5 ' ( 1 . 5 m )87415 6 ' (1 .8m)

A WARNING Do NOT use aircraft-cable lanyards nearenergized equipment.

A WARNING Never use an aircraft-cable lanyard byitself for fall protection. Always use a deceleration unitwith aircraft cable.

A WARNING Do not rely on the feel or sound of asnap hook engaging. Always visually check for properengagement of the snap hook.

Nylon Webbing LanyardsThese orange-nylon webbing lanyards are offered

in fixed and adjustable lengths, and are equippedwith a permanently attached Klein-Lok® snap hookat each end. The nylon webbing has been resin-impregnated for added durability and excellentabrasion resistance and are especially good forpositioning purposes. Also well-suited in situationswhere the worker is often turning or moving aroundsince webbing will not reverse-twist (hockle). Adeceleration unit can be added to a nylon weblanyard to reduce impact forces in the event of afall. Do not use these lanyards around open flame,steam lines, near welding splatter or near otherhigh-temperature areas since nylon begins toweaken at 300°F (149°C).
