Product Overview
Working at height requires equipment that leaves no room for doubt or hesitation. The Kernmantle 1.5m Restraint Lanyard is a dedicated safety solution engineered to provide reliable restraint and continuous protection in challenging environments. Measuring 150cm in length, this lanyard acts as a robust link between the user and their anchor point, ensuring a controlled working radius and preventing the user from reaching a fall hazard area.
Key Features
- 150cm Kernmantle Rope: The rope construction provides exceptional strength and durability, ensuring the lanyard remains resilient even under frequent professional use.
- Integrated Scaffold Hook and Carabiner: These high-quality connectors allow for swift and secure attachment to scaffolding and harnesses, streamlining your safety setup.
- Heat-Treated Alloy Steel: The metal components are specifically treated to enhance their structural integrity, providing peace of mind when working in high-stress conditions.
- Aluminium Components: The inclusion of aluminium ensures the hardware remains manageable and does not add unnecessary bulk to your safety rig.
- Certified to EN 354:2010: This lanyard meets stringent European safety standards for personal fall protection equipment, specifically for lanyards used in restraint systems.
Design & Performance
The design of the FP20 focuses on the balance between high-tensile strength and practical usability. The Kernmantle rope—a construction involving a twisted core protected by a woven outer sheath—is favoured in the height safety industry for its superior abrasion resistance and minimal stretch. This ensures that the lanyard does not degrade quickly when coming into contact with rough surfaces typical of construction sites.
The hardware is equally considered; the heat-treated alloy steel scaffold hook is designed for ease of use even while wearing heavy work gloves, while the aluminium carabiner provides a secure, lightweight connection to the harness. This is a substantial, sturdy piece of equipment that feels reliable the moment it is clipped into place.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. This Kernmantle Restraint Lanyard is a piece of Category III Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this item because any modification to the textile fibres or structural components could compromise the lanyard's integrity and invalidate its safety certifications. Your safety is far more important than a logo.
Use Cases
This restraint lanyard is essential for professionals working on scaffolding, flat roofs, or elevated platforms where the primary goal is to prevent the wearer from reaching an edge. It is a staple for scaffolders, roofers, and maintenance technicians who require a dependable restraint system as part of their fall protection kit.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for businesses across the UK. Based in Telford, our heritage is built on providing technical expertise and high-quality workwear solutions. We understand the rigours of the modern workplace and ensure that the safety equipment we supply, like this Portwest lanyard, meets the highest industry standards.
Practical Advice
Always ensure that a restraint lanyard is used specifically for restraint, not for fall arrest, unless part of a wider system designed for that purpose. Before every shift, perform a visual inspection of the rope for fraying and ensure the gate-locking mechanisms on the hooks and carabiners operate smoothly without sticking.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety equipment is critical for ensuring its longevity and your continued protection. We recommend cleaning the rope with a damp cloth and mild soap if it becomes soiled. Excessive dirt or grit can work its way into the Kernmantle weave and cause internal abrasion over time, which may weaken the lanyard.
Store the lanyard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemical vapours. UV exposure and harsh chemicals can degrade polyester fibres, potentially compromising the lanyard’s strength without showing obvious visible signs of damage. Regular inspections by a competent person are mandatory for all height safety equipment.
