2.7.8.2.5 To minimize any fall potential and to aid manoeuvres in a rescue situation, it is important that the length of device lanyards is kept as short as possible and limited to the rope access technician’s reach. This will vary from person to person.2.7.8.2.6 Anchor lanyards are normally used in two lengths; the shortest typically when changing from one anchor line to another during descent, e.g. at a re-anchor, and the longest typically when changing from one anchor line to another during ascent, e.g. at a re-anchor. The lengths of the anchor lanyards should be as short as possible, i.e. no longer than is necessary to enable the rope access technician to carry out the required manoeuvres. This is not only for maximum efficiency in carrying out the manoeuvres but also to minimize the potential for high impact forces in any fall that might occur.2.7.8.3Anchor slings
