Connect the snaphooks on the ends of the lanyard legs to suitable approved anchorages. Connect the
snaphook at the end of one leg to an initial anchorage. Connect the snaphook at the end of the other leg to a
secondary anchorage before moving and/or disconnecting from the initial anchorage.

Rebar Positioning Lanyards

Connect the two small snaphooks to the hip or waist attachment points on the harness with the large
US
snaphook in front of your body. Attach the large snaphook to a suitable anchorage.
When using a twin leg energy-absorbing lanyard, connect the center-mounted snaphook to the harness back
D-Ring. Do not connect the snaphooks on the ends of the lanyard leg to your body support, as this can
increase the possible free fall distance beyond allowable limits. Maintain tie-off while moving between
anchorage locations. Do not disconnect from your initial position until you have first connected to another
anchorage. When one leg is not in use, only attach to lanyard keeper on harness, not side or front D-ring. Do
not allow lanyard legs to pass under arms, between legs or around neck.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
