Positioning Lanyards and Positioning Assemblies

When working at-height, getting the job done while only using one hand isn’t always possible. That’s where positioning lanyards and positioning assemblies come in.

Positioning Lanyards:

Positioning lanyards have been specifically designed to help position you when working at-height. A positioning lanyard should only be used in conjunction with a back-up fall arrest device. There are two types of positioning lanyards: adjustable and non-adjustable.

The types are pretty self-explanatory - adjustable positioning lanyards are… adjustable. Whereas regular positioning lanyards are a predetermined length. What type of positioning lanyard you need is dependent on the job at hand. There are 3 main materials that positioning lanyards are made of non-stretch webbing, stretch webbing, and rope.

Positioning Assemblies:

Positioning assemblies function in the same way as positioning lanyards in that they have been specifically designed to help position you while you work at-height. They should also only be used in conjunction with a backup fall arrest device. The big difference between a positioning assembly and a positioning lanyard is that assemblies feature chains instead of rope and a rebar hook.
