PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Figure 1 lists the 3M™ DBI-SALA
lanyard models that include an energy-absorbing component to help manage fall arrest forces. This lanyard type may be used
for Fall Arrest, Restraint, and Work Positioning applications.
Lanyard models are defined by their general construction and available features. Within Figure 1, lanyards are grouped first by
their "Lanyard Style" then by their model number in numerical order. Figure 2 identifies the available lanyard styles covered by
this instruction.
Figure 3 identifies key components of the available lanyard models. A typical lanyard includes connectors at both ends of the
lanyard leg. Anchoring Connectors (A) secure the lanyard to its anchorage connection point. The Harness Connector (B) secures
the lanyard to the user's full body harness. Energy-absorbing lanyards include an Energy Absorber (C), which dissipates kinetic
energy and limits deceleration distance during fall arrest.
Energy-absorbing lanyards are available in single- and twin-lanyard models. Twin-lanyard models include two lanyard legs
and two Anchoring Connectors (A) between them. This design enables users to maintain 100-percent tie-off when transferring
between anchorage points.
Each product model has its own particular size and its own combination of components as listed in Figure 1. See Table 1 for
more information on Component Specifications.
