17.4 LANYARD KEEPER
Certain projects may require the use of a dual leg lanyard or SRL. If using a dual leg device, the user must ensure that
the unused leg of the Lanyard/SRL is properly stowed when not actively in use. Safewaze Full Body Harnesses are
equipped with two lanyard keepers (one on each torso strap). These lanyard keepers provide a location to attach the
unused Lanyard/SRL leg. Proper use of the lanyard keepers ensures that the unused leg of the device remains easily
accessible to the user, as well as keeping it clear of ongoing work operations. Figure 18 indicates the location of the
lanyard keepers and an example of proper use.
17.5 REPLACABLE / REUSABLE LANYARD KEEPER
Full Body Harness mounted Lanyard Keepers are designed to break away in the event of a fall. If the unused lanyard
leg becomes caught during the fall, the Lanyard Keeper with break away. This prevents forces from the tightening of the
lanyard from transferring to the Full Body Harness and the user wearing it. In the event that a Lanyard Keeper is damaged
or broken, Safewaze offers an easily installed replacement Lanyard Keeper (Part# 021-9038). Figure 19 illustrates
installation of the replacement Lanyard Keeper onto a typical Safewaze FBH.
To Fasten To Harness:
1. Grasp replacement Lanyard Keeper webbing and pull apart to open webbing to full length
(See Figure 19, Dwg. 1).
2. Take the free end of the Lanyard Keeper webbing and position it above the existing Lanyard Keeper
(See Figure 19, Dwg. 2).
3. Insert the free end of the webbing behind the web loop and pull downward until new Lanyard Keeper is
centered behind the web loop (See Figure 19, Dwg. 3).
4. Fold the bottom section of the Lanyard Keeper webbing upward and re-attach to the opposite end of the
webbing via the hook and loop fasteners (See Figure 19, Dwg. 4).
5. Rotate the Lanyard Keeper in a downward motion until the plastic loop is in the correct orientation
(See Figure 19, Dwg. 5).
6. Park lanyard hardware as needed (See Figure 19, Dwg. 6).
