3M EZ-Stop — a DBI SALA Lanyard with Twin-Leg 100% Tie-Off, 1246015

A DBI SALA lanyard built for continuous tie-off

The 3M DBI-SALA EZ-Stop is a twin-leg DBI SALA lanyard designed around 100% tie-off: clip the second leg to your next anchor before unclipping the first, and you never have a moment disconnected as you move across a structure. Each 6 ft leg ends in a self-locking snap hook, and a shock pack limits arrest force to 900 lbf or less if a fall occurs.

It's a sala lanyard built for daily fall-arrest use, functions as a fall arrest lanyard rated to 310 lb, and serves as the harness and lanyard connection between a worker and a rated anchor point.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What this lanyard is for

Construction, roofing, and industrial crews who need continuous fall protection while moving across scaffolding, structural steel, or elevated platforms between anchor points. It's ranked in our fall protection lanyards guide, forms the connector half of the system described in our fall protection equipment guide, and fits into a full jobsite kit as covered in our construction site PPE guide.

Compatibility

Either leg's snap hook connects to the dorsal D-ring of any ANSI/ASSP Z359.11 harness, ranked in our safety harness guide and stocked in the full body harness collection. Anchor to a rated point using a connector such as the 3M DBI-SALA Saflok, stocked in the carabiners & connectors collection. Inspect the full system per our harness inspection reference.

How this lanyard compares

3M DBI-SALA's ShockWave 2 single-leg and ShockWave 2 100% tie-off lanyards use a different shock-pack design at a similar price point. For a shorter arrest distance, the retractable Retrax and Nano-Lok lock within inches instead of feet. Every lanyard in stock is in the lanyards collection, the full range is in the fall protection collection, and connectors are in the carabiners & connectors collection.

Safety note: a shock absorbing lanyard is one component of a personal fall arrest system — it must be paired with a compliant full body harness and a rated anchor meeting OSHA 1926.502. Calculate total fall clearance, including the shock pack's up to 3.5 ft of extension, before work begins, inspect the lanyard before every use, and retire it after any fall arrest.

Ordering FAQ

Is the 3M DBI-SALA EZ-Stop 1246015 in stock and ready to ship?
Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Open the linked listing for live price, availability, and delivery speed.

What does 100% tie-off mean on this lanyard?
The twin-leg (Y) design lets you clip the second leg to a new anchor before unclipping the first, so you stay continuously connected as you move between anchor points instead of briefly disconnecting.

What connectors does it use?
Self-locking snap hooks at each end of both legs, meeting OSHA 1926.502(d)(2)(vi)'s self-closing, self-locking hook requirement.

What is the weight capacity?
310 lb, covering the worker's bodyweight plus tools and equipment — the standard 3M DBI-SALA rating. Workers over 310 lb should use a 420 lb-rated variant instead.

How much force does the shock absorber limit a fall to?
900 lbf or less, per ANSI/ASSE Z359.13's shock-absorbing lanyard requirement, well under OSHA's 1,800 lb maximum arresting force limit.

How far does the shock pack extend during a fall?
Up to 3.5 ft as it absorbs energy. Add that to the free fall distance, harness stretch, and a safety margin to calculate the total clearance you need below the work level.

Is the EZ-Stop OSHA and ANSI compliant?
Yes — it meets ANSI/ASSE Z359.13 and CSA Z259.11, and complies with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 for construction and 1910.140 for general industry.

How is this different from the ShockWave 2 100% tie-off lanyard?
Both are twin-leg 100% tie-off shock-absorbing lanyards from 3M DBI-SALA. The ShockWave 2 line uses a different shock-pack design; compare the two on their product pages for the specific hook and webbing details that matter for your job.

How is this different from the Nano-Lok retractable lanyard?
The Nano-Lok and Retrax are retractable, self-locking devices that lock within inches of a fall; the EZ-Stop is a fixed-webbing lanyard with a shock pack that extends further during a fall arrest. Choose the retractable option where a shorter arrest distance matters more.

What harness does this connect to?
Either leg's snap hook clips to the dorsal D-ring of any ANSI/ASSP Z359.11-compliant full body harness; it does not include a harness itself.

How do I inspect this lanyard before use?
Check both legs' webbing for cuts, fraying, burns, and chemical damage; check all four snap hooks for cracks, corrosion, and correct locking function; check the shock pack for signs of deployment. Remove from service immediately if damaged, and always replace a lanyard that has arrested a fall.

How do I reorder for a crew?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked Amazon ASIN stay constant, so equipping every worker with matching twin-leg lanyards takes seconds.
