Energy Absorbers

OSHA mandates that the fall arrest forces on a worker not exceed 1,800 lbs. when wearing a full-body harness.

Gemtor, Inc. recommends that an energy/shock absorber be used whenever the possibility of a free fall exists to assure that forces are below the OSHA limits.

Energy absorbers can increase fall arrest distance by up to 42". Make sure the available fall space permits the use of an energy absorber.

Decelerator Series
Features the convenience and ease of use of a rope lanyard and the OSHA compliance of an energy absorbing lanyard. An energy absorbing inner core made of polyester absorbs the arresting forces in the case of a fall while the nylon outer shell protects the core from damage and acts as backup. Model # 3155 locking snaphooks are standard on all decelerator lanyards and help reduce the possibility of accidental disengagement. Other snaphooks and connectors are available. Meets OSHA, ANSI standards.
