Purpose

Rigid Lifelines

Defy™ Self-Retracting Lanyards are designed to be used as part of

a personal fall arrest system to help limit the forces associated with fall arrest in the

event of a fall.

Fall Arrest System Components

System Components Overview

A complete fall arrest system consists of the following components: Anchorage,

Body Support, and Connecting Devices. Note: For continuous protection, more

than one system may be needed.

Anchorage

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 states that an anchorage, “Shall be independent of any

anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting

at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached, or shall be designed,

installed, and used as follows: as part of a complete personal fall arrest system

which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of a

qualiﬁed person.”

Body Support

A body support is the component of a personal fall arrest system that is worn

on or around the body. Per OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 (effective January 1, 1998),

body belts are not acceptable* as part of a personal fall arrest system. Full body

harnesses must be used for all fall arrest systems.

* Note: The use of a body belt is acceptable in a positioning device system.

Connecting Devices

A connecting device is the link between the body support and anchorage.

Connecting devices will vary depending on the application.
