This document provides comprehensive information regarding the 3M™ DBI-SALA® Pro Series Lanyards, which are designed for fall protection in various work environments. The lanyards are categorized into different models, each with specific features and applications, and are compliant with ANSI Z359.13, ANSI Z359.3, OSHA 1910.140, and OSHA 1926.502 standards.
The Pro Series Lanyards serve as a critical component of a personal fall protection system. They are primarily intended for Restraint or Work Positioning applications, preventing users from reaching or being exposed to a fall hazard. Energy-Absorbing Lanyards, which include an integral energy absorber, can also be used for Fall Arrest applications, mitigating the forces experienced during a fall. Twin Leg Lanyard models are designed for 100-percent tie-off, allowing continuous fall protection while moving between anchorage points. The lanyards connect the user's harness to an anchorage point or structure, with the energy absorber end always attaching to the harness for Fall Arrest systems.
The lanyards come in various lengths (L) and widths (W), depending on the model. For instance, models like 1340040, 1340125, and 1340200 are 6.0 ft (1.83 m) long, with widths of 1.75 in (4.45 cm) or 1.95 in (4.95 cm). Shorter lanyards, such as 1341002, are 3.0 ft (0.91 m) long. The materials used include Web - Polyester, Web - Elastic Polyester, Cable - Galvanized, and Nylon Rope.
Energy absorbers are integrated into specific models, indicated by "Shock Pack" or "Tubular Web" in the "Energy Absorber" column of Table 1. The capacity of these lanyards is for one person with a combined weight (including clothing, tools, etc.) within the range of 130 lb. to 310 lb. (59 kg to 140 kg). The average arresting force is 900 lbf (4.0 kN), and the maximum free fall is 6.0 ft (1.83 m).
Connector specifications vary by model. Common connectors include Snap Hooks (Zinc-Plated Steel) with gate openings of 3/4 in. (19 mm) or 2-3/8 in. (60 mm), Rebar Hooks (Alloy Steel) with 2-3/8 in. (60 mm) gate openings, Rope Grabs (Steel), and Carabiners (Zinc-Plated Steel) with 1-1/8 in. (28.6 mm) gate openings. All connectors have a gate strength of 3,600 lbf (16 kN) and a tensile strength of 5,000 lbf (22.2 kN).
The Energy Absorber Deployment graph (Figure 5) illustrates free fall and deployment distance based on user weight (130 lb., 220 lb., 310 lb.). It also defines maximum allowable deployment distances (OSHA and ANSI) and maximum allowable free fall (OSHA/ANSI). For ANSI/OSHA lanyards with free fall distances of 6.0 ft (1.8 m) to 12.0 ft (3.7 m), or for user weights of 310 lb. (140 kg) to 420 lb. (191 kg), an additional 1.0 ft (0.3 m) is added to the deployment distance calculation.
This comprehensive guide ensures that users are well-informed about the proper selection, installation, operation, and maintenance of 3M™ DBI-SALA® Pro Series Lanyards to ensure safety and compliance with relevant standards.
