3M 1246525 Shock-absorbing Lanyard 6 Ft Fall Protection

Product Description

The 3M 1246525 is a DBI-Sala ShockWave Arc Flash Stretch Web shock-absorbing lanyard designed for fall protection in demanding work environments. It features a stretchable webbing construction that expands to 6 feet when taut and automatically retracts to approximately 4.5 feet when slack, reducing trip hazards, snagging, and dragging during active movement. When subjected to a fall event, the internal shock-absorbing core deploys to limit fall arrest forces to safe levels. Lightweight and purpose-built for trade and industrial use, this lanyard is suited for electricians, ironworkers, utility workers, and other professionals working at height.

This lanyard is intended for use in a wide range of industries where workers are exposed to elevated fall hazards. The stretch-web design provides freedom of movement on elevated work platforms, scaffolding, aerial lifts, and structural steel. The arc flash-rated construction makes it appropriate for electrical work environments where arc flash hazards are present. It is sold as a single unit and is intended to be used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system including a full-body harness and appropriate anchorage connector.
