ShockWave2 Shock Absorbing Lanyard
DBI-SALA ShockWave 2 Shock Absorbing Lanyard is designed to provide excellent fall protection and support while keeping workers safe and comfortable on the job. It provides optimal mobility to the user and helps reduce trip fall hazards and dragging or snagging by expanding to 6 ft (1.8 m) when taut and automatically contracting to 4.5 ft (1.4 m) in reaction to the worker's movements. The trusted core of the 3M DBI-SALA ShockWave 2 Shock Absorbing Lanyard begins to extend and absorb energy if subjected to a fall and limits the fall arrest forces to safe levels.
ANSI A10.32; ANSI Z359.1; ANSI Z359.13; OSHA 1910.66; OSHA 1926.502 Energy absorbing design limits arrest forces on the body and meets OSHA connecting device requirements.
