In a development aimed at bolstering safety standards in industries involving work at heights, the Working at Height Safety Association (WAHSA) has unveiled new guidelines. 

The guidelines comprehensively cover the proper selection, use, maintenance, and periodic inspection of single and twin energy-absorbing lanyards, which are critical for preventing accidents and fatalities in work-at-height scenarios.

The updated guidance emphasises the importance of understanding both single and twin energy-absorbing lanyards’ specific safety features and application scenarios. It provides detailed advice on ensuring compatibility between lanyards and other personal protective equipment (PPE), facilitating safer work environments for individuals operating at height.

Key highlights include recommendations for regular inspections, criteria for decommissioning and replacing lanyards, and insights into the technological advancements in energy absorption materials and designs. The guidance aims to empower employers and safety professionals with the knowledge to select the right lanyard types based on the nature of work, thereby minimising risks and enhancing overall safety.

WAHSA’s new guidelines serve as an essential resource for individuals and organisations seeking to adhere to the highest safety standards. Download the official document here to access the complete guidance and implement these critical safety measures in your workplace.
