Posted By Luan The guys are debating about try to use the non-energy-absorbing-element lanyard for working at the height of less than 2 meters. The reason is that if fall down, the absorbing-element will be stretched and make them hit on the ground. I have checked many safety harness specifications and and related safety rules, but can not find the answer. Any one could help, please leave a information here or send to safetyluan@yahoo.com.cn. Thanks a lot. Luan

Harnesses are not really of any use at that kind of hieght. The shock absorber can add a significant distance to the length of the lanyard. I would not use a harness in these circumstances-edge protection or airbags/beanbags are the way to be thinking. Also remember that if you use a cherry picker you must not use a lanyard with a sock absorber in it-it must be short and of a fixed length.

If you use a fixed length lanyard without any fall arrest used as such becomes fall restraint it should be better as it provides a fixed length to work within and it stops / prevents you working outside your area.
