Falltech 8388 Shock-Absorbing Lanyard 310 lb Black Blue

Falltech 8388 Lanyard Overview

The Falltech 8388 is a shock-absorbing lanyard rated for a 310 lb weight capacity. It meets ANSI Z 359.15-2014, OSHA 1910.66, OSHA 1926.502, and CSA Z 259.2.5-2017 standards. The hardware is constructed from steel and features a black and blue colour scheme. It is designed for fall arrest applications in facility and traffic safety environments.

Upgrading Fall Protection Gear

This lanyard replaces worn or non-compliant fall arrest components that no longer meet current ANSI or OSHA requirements. The jump is worth it when existing equipment fails inspection or lacks the 310 lb capacity rating. It also suits workers moving from basic positioning lanyards to a dedicated shock-absorbing arrester. Buyers needing a self-retracting lifeline or a higher capacity rating should look elsewhere.

Integrating Into A Safety System

The steel hardware connects to compatible harness attachment points and anchorage connectors within a personal fall arrest system. It functions as the energy-absorbing element between the worker and the anchor. The unit frees the user from fall forces by deploying its shock-absorbing mechanism during an arrest event. Ensure the anchorage structure meets the required strength for the system.
