Lanyards are flexible lines with a connector at each end used to connect the anchorage to the body support of a fall protection system. Lanyards should be connected to the back D-ring for fall arrest, located between the shoulder blades and ideally should be anchored above the worker to minimize fall distance. The worker should not walk too far from the overhead anchorage or a swing fall may occur.

WEBBING
Webbing is an important factor in the durability and safety of the lanyard. You want to ensure that the webbing is strong enough to endure rough use and exposure to sunlight and other elements without tearing or fraying. Nomex/Kevlar webbing is used for specialty applications such as welding that require fire resistance or when extra protection is need against arc fiash hazards. Webbing may also be coated with polyurethane to provide protection against grease, oil, dirt and grime.

SHOCK ABSORBER
Lanyards designed for use as part of a personal fall arrest system must contain an energy absorbing unit that will limit the force on the worker to below 1,800 Ibs. (8kN) with up to a 6' (1.8m) free fall. Most manufacturers now keep the arresting forces below 900 Ibs. (4kN). Shock absorbers come in pack or tubular styles depending on user preference.

CONNECTOR/HOOK
Most lanyards are available with traditional auto-locking snap hooks. The popular patented DBI-SALA snap hook allows one-handed use with no pinching of thumbs or fingers. Lanyards can also be fitted with larger snap hooks or carabiners for connection to larger anchorages.

LENGTH
Standard lanyard length is 6', A lanyard should be long enough to be user-friendly, but kept as short as possible to minimize the free fall distance. Knots should never be tied in lanyards to reduce their length as this can reduce the strength by 50%.

IMPACT INDICATOR
If the lanyard has been used to arrest a fall or if the energy absorber has been deployed, the lanyard must be retired immediately, An impact indicator gives easy visual reference of a blown shock.

CABLE
Some lanyards are made of vinyl-covered cable for extra durability or when working in high heat environments.

i-Safe™
Every DBI-SALA lanyard now comes with i-Safe™, the Intelligent Safety System that incorporates RFID and web-enabled communications technologies, providing you with the ability to centrally track inspections, control field inventory and manage critical safety information.

Rebar Hook Assemblies

Security to Match the Task Anchorage connectors are greatly dependent on the specific requirements of the purchaser, including the type of attachment, the environment and the connecting system. DBI-SAlA offers the most complete line of anchorage connectors available, rigorously tested to ensure the strength you need. This means you can always find the best product to fit your requirements.

Anchorages
An anchorage is a secure point of attachment for the fall arrest system. The anchorage must be capable of supporting a load of 5,000 lb. (22kN) per worker attached to the anchorage or shall be designed, installed and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least 2.
Anchorages may be certified (designed or engineered on site for fall protection) or non-certified (beams, trusses or other suitably strong structures). Certified anchorages should be identified with paint or special markings and kept on a site location list.
Anchorage Connectors Anchorage connectors provide a means of attaching the system to the anchorage. These vary widely depending on application. Some of the common types are anchor slings, roof anchors, beam clamps, rail sliders, trolleys, eyebolts and shepherd hooks.

Anchorage Connectors are Sold by:

• What they connect to (steel, concrete, wood)
• Whether they are fixed or mobile
• Whether they are permanent or portable

Experienced DBI-SALA technicians can provide guidance on which anchorage connector will best fit your applications.
Testing
Anchorage connectors are a critical part of a fall protection system. They must be tested to ensure that they have the strength to withstand the tremendous forces that can be generated by a fall. DBI-SALA anchorage connectors are rigorously tested both in-house and by SEI, an independent, non-profit testing and certification company accredited by ANSI and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).

Self-locking
Snap hooks and carabiners used in fall protection or rescue operations must be self-locking. Non-locking hooks must not be used for fall protection because of the danger of roll out - the accidental disengagement of a connector from whatever it is attached to. The unique DBI-SALA snap hook is an industry favorite.
One-handed Operation
Snap hooks should be simple to operate in order to ensure that they are used properly, even when wearing gloves.
Materials
DBI-SALA snap hooks and carabiners are made of high tensile alloy steel or aluminum.
Standards
Snap hooks and carabiners used for fall protection must be capable of withstanding a 5,000 Ib (22kn) load, be proof tested to at least 3,600 Ibs. (16kn), and now have a self locking/self closing gate capable of withstanding a load of 3,600 Ibs. (16kn). Many connectors manufactured outside the United States will not meet these strict requirements.

NEW ANSI Z359 STANDARD
Under the new standard, snap hook and carabiner gates must withstand a 3,600 lb. load. Both DBI-SALA and PROTECTA branded products are available to meet the new standard. We've made ordering the 3,600 lb. hook gate option easy; 120 series lanyards will change to 123 and 122 series changes to 124 (ex. 1224306 with 3,600 lb. gate hooks would be 1244306)

The energy absorbing design reduces the forces generated upon a worker in the event of a fall. For added flexibility, it can be attached or removed anywhere along the lifeline. It is constructed from durable but lightweight stainless steel and thermoplastic to stand up to the harshest environments.

SEALED DESIGN
DBI-SALA's sealed SRL design is field proven, operating safely on some of the world's most challenging work sites for over a decade. They incorporate a patented concept, all dynamic components including the motor spring and brake system are isolated (envi­ronmentally sealed) from foreign elements (ex. grease, moisture, dirt, etc.). You always know your SRL is operating at peak efficiency, without worries about what is happening inside the housing, no matter how dirty or damp your environment. It will maintain consistent lifeline retraction, proper fall arrest distances and forces providing added worker satisfaction, productivity and safety. In addition, the sealed design will lower your overall cost of ownership by extending maintenance intervals and product longevity.

HOUSING
The SRL casing protects the inner parts of the SRL and holds the excess line when not in use. Durable, impact-resistant housings offer longer wear and greater protection of the brakes and retraction springs. DBI-SALA developed the industry's only fully Sealed SRL that isolates the critical working components, protecting them from the dirt, oil or grease that the retracted cable can bring inside.

i-Safe™
Every DBI-SALA SRL now comes with i-Safe™, the Intelligent Safety System that incorporates RFID and web-enabled communications technologies, providing you with the ability to centrally track inspections, control field inventory and manage critical safety information.

LINE
SRL lines can be made from cable, webbing or synthetic rope. Cable is considered for rugged, outdoor applications or where the line may be in touch with sharp objects. Web lifeline models are for temporary, portable applications where additional mobility is needed such as for general maintenance activities, rig up and rig down and equipment installations. Stainless steel offers the ultimate in corrosion resistance, reliability and longevity.

IMPACT INDICATOR
SRL's should be inspected before each use and annually by the customers' designated competent person. Inspections are made easier with an impact indicator that immediately shows an orange or red band if the SRL has been loaded or has arrested a fall. All SRL's should be removed from service following the arrest of a fall and if the impact indicator is visible. In most cases the unit will have to be returned to an authorized service center for servicing or replacement.

SNAP HOOK
The snap hook affects ease and speed of connection. A swivel snap hook provides versatility to allow the SRL to be easily connected to a wide variety of anchorages, making it adaptable to different work structures. The patented DBI-SALA self-locking snap hook opens and connects without thumbs or fingers getting in the way.

RESERVE LIFELINE
Some SRL's have an emergency reserve lifeline feature which means that if a worker has nearly all the line extended and experiences a fall, the unit will still be capable of absorbing energy and keeping the arresting forces to a minimum.

3-WAY RETRIEVAL OPTION
Some SRL's incorporate a built-in winch retrieval mechanism. These units not only provide fall protection as a worker enters a confined space such as a tank or bin, but also allow activation of a retrieval mechanism for fast, convenient rescue.

QUICK ACTVATING BRAKING SYSTEM
Many industry SRL's use a seat-belt type extension and retraction mechanism which can malfunction and lock-up when you don't want them to. DBI-SALA SRL's feature an anti-racheting, twin disc brake mechanism that provides smooth operation and locks only when you are ready. Once the mechanism engages, it stays locked, ensuring that the worker is not racheted down to the ground. The system limits arresting forces to 900 Ibs. (4kN) or less. Because fall arrest begins within 2' (.6m), the required clearance distance is reduced when using DBI-SALA SRL's.
