1.0 APPLICATION
1.1 PURPOSE: DBI-SALA
lanyards are to be used
as part of a personal
restraint, work positioning,
suspension, or rescue
system. The D-ring
extension assembly may
also be used as part of a
personal fall arrest system
only if it is attached to
a self retracting lifeline
or an energy absorbing
lanyard. Applications
include: inspection work,
construction, demolition,
maintenance, oil production,
and confined space rescue.
See Figure 2.
A. RESTRAINT: The
lanyard is used to
prevent the user from
reaching a hazard, such
as leading edge work.
No vertical free fall is
possible.
B. WORK POSITIONING: The lanyard is used to position or support (with a harness or body belt) the
user at the work position, such as window washing or steel workers. The maximum free fall is 2 feet
(.6 m).
C. SUSPENSION: The lanyard (generally a Y-type) is used with a chair or other support system to suspend
or transport the user vertically, such as in a boatswain's chair. No vertical free fall is possible.
D. RESCUE: The lanyard (generally a Y-type or wristlet) is used to retrieve a victim in a rescue, such as
confined space rescue and retrieval. No vertical free fall is possible.
E. FALL ARREST: The D-ring extension is used in-line with a personal fall arrest system to assist in
attachment to the system.
1.2 LIMITATIONS: The following application limitations must be recognized and considered before using this
product:
A. CAPACITY: This equipment is for use by persons with a combined weight (person, clothing, tools, etc.)
of no more than 310 lbs. (140.6 kg.)
B. FREE FALL: Lanyards used for work positioning applications must be rigged to minimize any potential
vertical free fall. In no case should the potential free fall be greater than 2 feet (.6 m). For situations
where the free fall may exceed 2 feet (.6 m), a backup fall arrest system should be used. The Y-lanyards
and wristlets may only be used where there is no possible vertical free fall.
