Users of Energy Absorbing, Fall Arrest Lanyards, should be trained in its safe use and the applications it is designed to be used in.
This should include selection of connectors, selection of a suitable anchor point, pendulum swings, use over an edge and free space requirements.

All fall protection equipment made from synthetic fibres available for use by an employee should be inspected by the User prior to use each and every time it is used (for which they should have been trained to do so) and at least every 6 months should be subjected to a Detailed Inspection by a competent person. The actual frequency of the Detailed Inspection by the competent person should be deemed through ‘risk assessment’ taking into account the frequency of use and the environment it is being used in. The competent person carrying out the Detailed Inspection should have specific training to inspect fall protection PPE.
