FAQ

What OSHA standard governs fall protection lanyards?

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502(d) for construction and 1910.140 for general industry require personal fall arrest systems to limit maximum arresting force to 1,800 lb and include a shock absorber when free-fall exceeds 6 ft.

What is ANSI Z359.13?

ANSI Z359.13 is the American National Standard for shock-absorbing lanyards, specifying minimum performance requirements including an energy absorber that limits arrest forces to 900 lbf for a 220-lb test weight.

When should I choose a single-leg vs twin-leg lanyard?

Single-leg lanyards are used when moving between anchor points and brief disconnections are acceptable. Twin-leg (100% tie-off) lanyards allow workers to remain continuously connected while moving between anchors on scaffolding, structural steel, or elevated platforms.

How far do 3M DBI-SALA lanyards fall before arresting?

The shock pack deploys during a fall, extending up to 3.5 ft as it absorbs energy. Total arrest distance (free fall + deceleration + harness stretch + height) must be calculated to ensure adequate clearance below the worker.

What capacity is this lanyard rated for?

Standard 3M DBI-SALA lanyards are rated for users up to 310 lb combined body weight and equipment. For workers over 310 lb, 3M offers heavy-duty variants rated to 420 lb.
