Analyze the components of fall protection equipment

A personal fall arrest system typically consists of an anchorage, a body harness, and a connector. A lanyard is a flexible line of rope, wire rope, or strap which generally has a connector at each end.

Determine the primary function of a lanyard

The primary purpose of a lanyard is to act as the connecting link. It secures the user's body belt or full-body harness directly to an anchorage point, a deceleration device, or a lifeline to arrest a fall safely.
