6ft. Shock Absorbing Lanyard – Arc flash and FR lanyard – Steel snap hooks on each end – Force2 – 12ft. free fall and dual capacity rated – 3M DBI-SALA 1246317

Arc flash shock absorbing lanyard

3M DBI-SALA Force2 lanyard 1246414 – 6ft. single-leg lanyard ideal for foot-level tie-off and capable of withstanding up to a 12 ft. free fall. The Vectran energy management system is the world’s smallest and lightest shock absorber. Arc flash rated and built with fire resistant webbing and soft-pack shock absorber – particularly useful for utility workers.

On one end is a user-friendly steel snap hook – specifically designed for easy usage even when wearing bulky gloves. On the other is the new Comfort Grip hook – designed to be the SAFEST and EASIEST hook on the planet.

Force2 lanyards are made from top-quality materials that provide reliable resistance to abrasion, cuts and chemical damage. Lanyard includes high visibility reflective materials – creating a better visual is low-light working conditions.

The energy absorbing design of the lanyard limits powerful forces experienced during a fall to minimize the risk of injury to the user.

Arc Flash & Fire Resistant Lanyards

An “Arc Flash” is a phenomenon where an electric current leaves its intended path, travels through the air and hits something else. The results of an arc flash are devastating – easily causing irreversible damage and even likely death. The only way to protect yourself from an arc flash is to wear proper PPE and specialized equipment.

Arc flash rated fall protection lanyards are built with materials and techniques designed to minimize the potential of an arc flash. They are typically built with a inherently fire resistant material like Nomex/Kevlar fiber – known for natural durability and fire resistance. Metal components are typically either PVC coated, replaced with webbing or otherwise substituted to minimize conductivity and potential shock.

In short – arc flash lanyards protect at-height workers who are at risk of a potential arc flash (think utility workers).

Single-leg Shock Absorbing Lanyards

A lanyard’s primary function is to stop a fall – but a shock absorbing lanyard goes the extra mile by PREVENTING injury. These lanyards utilize a non-metal energy absorber system to reduce the intense forces generated by a fall.

Shock absorbing lanyards prevent the user from snapping like a twig if a were to occur. Single leg lanyards are simple connectors with attachment points on either end – used to connect a harness to a anchor. Single leg lanyards are usually the most efficient and practical option when working at height.

In short – shock absorbing lanyards minimize the chance of a user being injured during a fall.
