Fall Arrest Blocks

(14 products)

A fall arrest block keeps you protected while letting you move freely. These self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) automatically pay out and retract as you work, eliminating trip hazards from slack line. When you fall, centrifugal braking locks instantly—typically arresting within 60cm. That's a fraction of the distance with fixed lanyards, which means lower forces on your body and less chance of hitting obstructions below.

This collection includes options from 3m personal SRLs for scaffold work to 30m heavy-duty cable blocks for tower and excavation sites. Web construction suits lighter applications and won't damage surrounding materials. Steel cable handles harsh conditions and extends to greater lengths. Twin-leg blocks let you stay anchored during horizontal transitions; leading edge variants resist sharp edge damage during arrest over building corners or structural steel.

Why Choose a Fall Arrest Block Over a Lanyard?
  • Minimal arrest distance – 60cm vs several metres reduces injury risk
  • Automatic tensioning – eliminates tripping and entanglement
  • Unrestricted movement – improves productivity and worker acceptance

Products in this range meet EN 360:2023 standards; check each listing for exact certification, integrated energy absorption, and mounting options (overhead anchor or mobile trolley). For complete height safety systems, explore our fall protection equipment including harnesses and anchorage.
