The DBI-SALA 3M 1246571C shock absorbing lanyard is a single-leg 4 ft (1.22 m) lanyard built for fall protection at height. Its yellow polyester web houses an energy absorber inside a black pack that deploys progressively during a fall to reduce the arresting forces transmitted to the worker.
It connects by means of one zinc-plated snap hook at the harness attachment point and one zinc-plated rebar hook at the anchorage end, ideal for tying off to large structures or rebar. The 3M IRF identification system makes equipment tracking and inspection easier throughout its service life.
For work requiring frequent movement between anchor points, we also offer the (double-leg Y-lanyard) model. This twin-arm configuration provides a 100% continuous connection, since the second arm is attached before the first is released.
Before using this energy-absorbing lanyard, calculate the fall clearance, that is, the free space required below the anchorage point to arrest a fall before the worker strikes the ground or an obstacle. This clearance window adds up from several elements: the length of the lanyard, the deployment of the energy absorber, the height of the worker, the dorsal D-ring slide and a safety margin. A miscalculation is one of the most common causes of serious injuries at height, even with compliant equipment.
Example for this 4 ft lanyard: the lanyard (4 ft) plus the absorber deployment (4 ft) plus the worker height (6 ft) plus a safety margin (1.5 ft) give a total clearance of about 15.5 ft (4.7 m) below an overhead anchorage. In low-clearance situations, choose a self-retracting lifeline instead.

Yes, this product is certified to CSA Z259.11, ensuring compliance for construction sites and industrial environments in Canada.
This lanyard is designed for a worker whose total weight, including tools, is between 132 and 310 lb (59.9 to 140.6 kg).
The single-leg lanyard suits fixed single-anchor workstations and restraint applications where the worker does not move between several anchor points. For repeated transitions at height where 100% tie-off is required, choose a double-leg Y lanyard (1246576c) instead.
Adding the lanyard (4 ft), the absorber deployment (4 ft), the worker height (6 ft) and a safety margin (1.5 ft), you need about 15.5 ft (4.7 m) of clearance below an overhead anchorage.
This is the most dangerous scenario, fall factor 2: the free fall can reach twice the lanyard length. This 3M IRF energy absorbing lanyard is designed to dissipate the energy of a severe fall and reduce arresting forces, making it suitable when the anchor is at foot level.
Beyond fall arrest, equip the worker from head to toe: protect their hands with cut-resistant gloves (G100), their eyes with safety eyewear (YA12E90801), and their hearing in noisy areas with earplugs (O1100) or earmuffs (OPH10B); on a traffic worksite, add a high-visibility vest (VV53).
To complete your fall protection system, combine your lanyard with reliable anchors: a connector (FPA826), a secondary anchor (FPAF075N) or a fitting (FPA822). Connect it to an ExoFit harness (FPH140114XCALP) or the model (FPH140102XCAL), and post the mandatory-use sign (ECO130).
