Question

question 25 of 27
match the following lanyard types with their corresponding descriptions.
choose an option below
limit slack in the lanyard and the fall distance, which reduces the impact on the body
select the best option
slow and eventually stop the descent, which reduces the impact on the body
select the best option
stop the descent suddenly, and could injure the body in a fall
select the best option
synthetic rope or webbing
shock - absorbing
self - retracting

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each description and match it to the lanyard type:

First Description: "Limit slack in the lanyard and the fall distance, which reduces the impact on the body"

• Self - retracting lanyards work by limiting slack and fall distance, thus reducing impact. So this description matches Self - retracting.

Second Description: "Slow and eventually stop the descent, which reduces the impact on the body"

• Shock - absorbing lanyards are designed to slow the descent gradually, minimizing impact. So this description matches Shock - absorbing.

Third Description: "Stop the descent suddenly, and could injure the body in a fall"

• Synthetic rope or webbing (non - shock - absorbing, non - self - retracting synthetic lanyards) can stop descent abruptly, leading to potential injury. So this description matches Synthetic rope or webbing.

Final Matches:

1. "Limit slack in the lanyard and the fall distance, which reduces the impact on the body" → Self - retracting
2. "Slow and eventually stop the descent, which reduces the impact on the body" → Shock - absorbing
3. "Stop the descent suddenly, and could injure the body in a fall" → Synthetic rope or webbing

(If we were to present as per the dropdown and options, for each dropdown:

• First dropdown: Self - retracting
• Second dropdown: Shock - absorbing
• Third dropdown: Synthetic rope or webbing)
