Fall protection for working at height: full body harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines and anchorage, covered in Australia by the AS/NZS 1891 series.
The parts of a fall arrest system
An anchorage to the structure, a full body harness on the worker, and the connection between them, either a lanyard with an energy absorber or a self-retracting lifeline. All of it rated. A rated harness clipped to an unrated point is not a system.
Lanyard or self-retracting lifeline?
An energy-absorbing lanyard is simple and cheap but needs enough clear fall distance below the worker for the absorber to deploy. Add up lanyard length, absorber extension and body height before trusting one. A self-retracting lifeline keeps slack out and arrests a fall in a much shorter distance, which is why it wins wherever fall clearance is tight.
