A Working at height does not always require a fall-arrest lanyard. In many situations, the safer approach prevents the worker from reaching an exposed edge in the first place. A restraint lanyard serves this purpose by limiting the worker’s movement when they connect it to a suitable anchorage point.

PN289(N)(1.5M)(ME) is a Kernmantle Rope Restraint Lanyard for professional work-at-height applications. This configuration uses an 11 mm kernmantle rope, a PN121 steel snap hook at the attachment end and a PN131N steel scaffold hook at the anchorage end. The supplied length measures 1.5 metres.

The rope includes a visible wear tracer, while cross-stitching and polyethylene sleeves protect the ends. Abrasion-resistant thimbles also reinforce the rope termination points. These details help the lanyard withstand regular industrial use.

Nassguard supplies the Restraint Kernmantle Rope Lanyard across Qatar and Doha for construction, industrial maintenance, scaffolding, utilities, MEP work and other professional work-at-height requirements.

What is PN289N Kernmantle Rope Restraint Lanyard?

PN289N is a fixed-length Fall Restraint Rope Lanyard made from kernmantle rope. Unlike an energy-absorbing fall-arrest lanyard, this product is primarily intended for restraint applications. Its purpose is to help limit how far a worker can move from an anchorage point so that the user does not enter a fall-risk area. The lanyard uses 11 mm kernmantle rope. Kernmantle construction consists of an inner load-bearing core surrounded by a protective outer sheath. This construction gives the rope a useful combination of flexibility, strength and resistance to everyday wear.

The PN289N also includes a coloured tracer within the rope. The tracer helps workers visually monitor the condition of the rope and identify signs of wear during routine inspection. At one end, the lanyard uses a PN121 steel snap hook. At the opposite end, it uses a PN131N steel scaffold hook with a wider gate opening for connection to suitable structural anchorage points. The 1.5M Rope Restraint Lanyard therefore provides a simple and durable connection for controlled movement during work at height.

2. PN121 – EN 362:2004 Class T
3. PN131N – EN 362:2004 Class T

PN289N is a restraint lanyard, not an energy-absorbing fall-arrest lanyard. It should be used as part of a properly designed system that prevents the user from reaching a position where a free fall can occur.

Where fall arrest is required, an appropriate fall-arrest lanyard with an energy absorber or another approved fall-arrest system should be selected instead.

Conclusion

PN289N provides a simple solution for jobs where the aim is to stop a worker from reaching an exposed fall hazard. The 11 mm kernmantle rope provides flexibility and durability for regular work-at-height applications, while the built-in wear tracer makes routine visual inspection easier. Protective sleeves and abrasion-resistant thimbles also help protect the rope terminations during regular handling. The PN121 snap hook gives the worker a compact attachment connection, while the larger PN131N scaffold hook provides a practical anchorage connection for suitable scaffold or structural members.

Its fixed 1.5 metre length makes this 1.5M Rope Restraint Lanyard suitable for controlled work zones where movement needs to remain within a predetermined safe area. However, PN289N should be correctly classified as a restraint lanyard rather than an energy-absorbing fall-arrest lanyard. The anchorage location and lanyard length should therefore be selected so that the worker cannot reach a point where a free fall could occur. For construction, industrial maintenance, scaffolding, utilities, MEP projects and general work-at-height applications, the Kernmantle Rope Restraint Lanyard provides a practical fixed-length connection for trained workers.
