Fall Arrest Lanyards and PFLs

When considering which PFL / SRL to buy or use, it is important to look at the exact environment where it is to be used. Some are designed only to be used vertically or up to a certain degree off vertical; others offer the flexibility of being used both vertically and horizontally. Thought should also be given to maintenance and inspection of the devices. Fall arrest blocks should be inspected at least every 12 months, or more often depending upon use and the environment they are being used. This inspection is most commonly done by the trained service agent.
