Description
The Yato tool safety lanyard is designed to ensure the safe use of tools, especially when working at height. This durable lanyard effectively stops tools from falling and causing hazards for the worker or for people working nearby. Both ends of the lanyard have high-quality carabiner hooks that let you attach tools quickly and easily to your equipment and to the tools themselves.
The length of the lanyard adjusts between 52–170 cm, which makes it flexible and suitable for different tasks. The lanyard also offers two attachment methods: larger tools can be attached reliably by tying the lanyard with the steel wire, while smaller tools can be attached with the attachment loop. This makes the lanyard suitable for many kinds of tools, and the user can choose the right attachment method for the size of the tool and the job.
The maximum load is 3 kg, which is enough for safely attaching most hand tools. The load limit is designed so that the lanyard never creates a hazard; for example, in an accident a person cannot be left hanging from it. Made of polyester, the lanyard is very durable and long-lasting, and its materials support use in demanding environments.
The Yato tool safety lanyard meets the requirements of the Finnish Occupational Safety and Health Act (738/2002) and Government Decree (403/2008) on the safe use of work equipment and the need for fall protection. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals who work at height, such as construction workers, electricians and arborists.
