  • Page 2: Safety Information

    Ensure use of your product is rated for the hazards present in your work environment. Ensure there is sufficient fall clearance when working at height. Never modify or alter your Fall Protection equipment. Only 3M, or persons authorized in writing by 3M, may make repairs to 3M equipment.
  • Page 3: Product Overview

    Always ensure you are using the latest revision of your 3M instruction manual. Visit www.3m.com/userinstructions or contact 3M Technical Services for updated instruction manuals. PRODUCT OVERVIEW: Figure 1 lists the 3M™ DBI-SALA Energy-Absorbing Lanyard models covered by this instruction. Energy-absorbing lanyards are ®...

    Before using this equipment, record the product identification information from the ID label in the ‘Inspection and Maintenance Log’ at the back of this manual. Table 1 – Product Specifications System Specifications: Anchorage: Anchorage structure requirements vary with the system application and whether it is a certified anchorage or non-certified anchorage.

    Hazards may include, but are not limited to: high heat, chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving machinery, sharp edges, or overhead materials that may fall and contact the user or equipment. Contact 3M Technical Services for further clarification.
  • Page 7 MAKING CONNECTIONS: All connections must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. See Figure 5 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not attach snap hooks and carabiners: To a D-ring to which another connector is attached. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate. Large-throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard- size D-Rings or other connecting elements, unless the snap hook has a gate strength of 16 kN (3,600 lbf) or greater.
  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION OVERVIEW: Installing this product requires effective planning and knowledge of fall clearance requirements. In the event of a fall, there must be enough fall clearance present to safely arrest the user. PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety before, during, and after a fall.
  • Page 9 FALL CLEARANCE CHARTS (MAXIMUM VALUES) Find your Required Fall Clearance (FC) by using the following charts. These charts give the most fall clearance needed for your lanyard within a specified anchorage configuration. Charts are separated by the type of lanyard you are using (see “Lanyard Style” within Figures 1 and 2).
  • Page 10 CALCULATING CLEARANCE (EXACT VALUES) There are two common methods for calculating clearance requirements. The “Working Surface Method” finds Required Fall Clearance (FC), which is measured from your working platform to the next obstruction below. The “Anchorage Method” finds Total Fall Distance (TFD), which is measured from one’s anchorage point down. Both methods are acceptable for finding your clearance requirement.
  • Page 11 ENERGY ABSORBER TABLES Use the below tables to find the Deceleration Distance (DD) for your lanyard. Select the chart containing information for your Lanyard Style (see Figures 1 and 2). Find your user weight (including tools, clothing, etc.). Find your corresponding Deceleration Distance (DD). If your weight is between listed values, round up to the next highest value.
  • Page 12 CONNECTING TO ANCHORAGE: Figure 8 illustrates typical lanyard anchorage connections. The Anchorage (A) should be directly overhead to minimize free fall and swing fall hazards (see Section 3.3.B). Select an anchorage capable of sustaining the static loads defined in Table 1. Depending on system and product configuration, the user may secure the Anchoring Connector (B) of the lanyard directly to the anchorage structure or to an anchorage connector or anchorage connection point between.
  • Page 13 INSTALLING LIFELINE SUBSYSTEMS: Lanyards with lifeline subsystems (e.g. rope grabs and cable grabs) as their anchoring connector will require special procedures for securing the lanyard to anchorage. Anchorage for lifeline subsystems should exclusively be vertical or horizontal lifelines. For more information on how to secure your lifeline subsystem, refer to the manufacturer instructions for your lifeline subsystem and lifeline.
