DEWALT EA Lanyard: Twin-Leg Polyester Fall Protection
The DEWALT EA Lanyard is a 6-foot, twin-leg polyester fall arrest lanyard designed for construction workers who need reliable mobility and secure tie-off. Each leg is fitted with a snap hook and a rebar hook, so you can stay connected while moving from one position to another. This yellow lanyard is RID-enabled, meaning it includes energy-absorbing technology to reduce fall arrest forces.
Made in the USA and compliant with ANSI Z359.13, the EA lanyard is a practical choice for ironworkers, form setters, and general construction tasks where lanyards are required.
Fall Clearance and Safe Use
For a 6-ft lanyard, calculate fall clearance carefully. The total clearance needed includes the lanyard length, deceleration distance, harness stretch, and anchor height. With the energy absorber, a typical 6-ft lanyard may require around 15 to 17 feet of clearance from the anchor point, depending on the user's weight and connection method. Always read the manufacturer's instructions and train workers on proper anchorage and tie-off techniques. Never attach to a moving or weakened anchor.

Product Details
Why Choose a Twin-Leg Lanyard?
A twin-leg lanyard lets you stay connected while moving from one anchor to another. This reduces the chance of a fall during a transition, which is critical for workers on rebar or elevated steel.
Calculating Fall Clearance
Use the formula: free fall distance + deceleration distance + harness stretch + safety margin = required clearance. Always keep the anchor above the D-ring to reduce free fall.
Maintenance That Saves Lives
Inspect this lanyard daily before use. Pay attention to the energy absorber pack for signs of partial deployment. Never tamper with or remove the energy absorber label.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much fall clearance do I need with a 6-foot lanyard?
As a general guide, plan for at least 15 to 17 feet of clearance from the anchor to the next level, including deceleration distance and harness stretch. Always verify with your system's user manual and a qualified person.
What does RID enabled mean?
RID is the energy-absorbing feature built into this lanyard to reduce the forces experienced during a fall arrest. It deploys to limit the impact to your body and the anchor.
Can I use this lanyard horizontally?
This lanyard is designed primarily for vertical fall arrest. If used in a horizontal leading-edge application, confirm compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and your fall protection plan.

Well made
This lanyard is well constructed. The twin legs are a good feature for moving around. The connectors are solid. It's a bit long for me, but that's easy to adjust. I trust it with my life.
