Fall Protection Lanyard

Safety you can trust—from Canada’s leader in fall protection equipment testing and certification.

Protecting What Matters Most

When you rely on a fall protection lanyard, your life may depend on it. Whether you’re working at height on a tower, scaffold, or industrial site, it’s critical that your equipment is inspected, tested, and certified according to ASME and CSA standards. At Hercules Crane and Lifting Solutions, we offer expert fall protection lanyard certification and inspection services designed to ensure your gear is up to the task every time.

Canadian law mandates that fall protection lanyards must undergo annual certification. However, more frequent inspections may be required depending on the usage environment and intensity. Our technicians inspect for damage, discoloration, and activation of energy absorbers. Any unit showing signs of a fall must be immediately removed and destroyed.

We understand that nothing is more important than going home safe. That’s why we take fall protection lanyard certification seriously. Bring your lanyards to one of our many Canadian facilities—or let our Mobile Testing Unit come to you.
