How to choose the proper fall protection (fast checklist)

1) Task & environment

  • Movement: Stationary? Choose a shock lanyard. Moving frequently/variable height? Choose an SRL.
  • Space below (fall clearance): Limited clearance favors SRLs or shorter lanyards.
  • Edges & abrasion: Use edge-rated SRLs/lifelines and protected slings.

2) Anchorage

  • Confirm a certified anchor point (EN 795) with adequate strength. When unsure, use a temporary anchor sling or horizontal lifeline designed for the task.

3) Harness fit & comfort

  • Pick S–XXL with proper adjustment; for long shifts, use padded, quick-connect models to reduce fatigue.

4) Connections & compatibility

  • Match hooks to structures (scaffold hooks for pipes/beams, carabiners for eyebolts). Ensure connectors are EN 362 and compatible.

5) Certification & traceability

  • Look for EN/ANSI markings, serial numbers, and user manuals. Keep an inspection log.

Popular Kenyan use cases & quick picks

Construction & roofing

  • Basic harness + single/twin shock lanyard + anchor sling for general works and roof edges.

Telecoms & power (KPLC, ISPs, towers)

  • Comfort harness with side D-rings + twin lanyard or SRL + pole strap for 100% tie-off on poles and masts.

Warehousing & maintenance (MEP/HVAC)

  • SRL (6–10 m) + anchor strap for frequent up-down access and minimal fall distance.

Window cleaning & façade

  • Comfort harness + work positioning lanyard + descender/back-up device on a vertical lifeline; consider edge-rated SRL.

Confined space entry & rescue

  • Tripod/davit + retrieval winch + fall arrest block, plus gas detection & rescue plan.

Care, inspection & replacement

  • Pre-use check every shift: webbing cuts, burns, UV damage, stitching, labels, hardware gates/locks.
  • Formal inspections at intervals per manufacturer/site policy by a competent person.
  • After any arrest or visible damage, retire the gear immediately. Store clean, dry, and away from sunlight/chemicals.

FAQs

Q1: What standards should I look for?
Look for EN 361 (harness), EN 355 (shock absorber), EN 358 (positioning), EN 360 (SRL), EN 362 (connectors), EN 795 (anchors). Many products also reference ANSI Z359. Choose items with clear markings and manuals.

Q2: Single vs twin lanyard—what’s the difference?
Twin (Y) lanyards allow 100% tie-off when moving between anchors; single is fine when you don’t move much.

Q3: Lanyard or SRL—which is better?
Lanyards are affordable and simple; SRLs reduce fall distance and are better where clearance is limited or movement is frequent.

Q4: Do you offer custom sizes and branding options?
Yes—harnesses, specialty fits on request, and company logo branding on storage bags or kits for easy identification.

Q5: Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes—countrywide delivery via reliable couriers. Bulk orders get better pricing and scheduled deliveries.
