3M DBI-SALA Y-Lanyard for Rescue & Vertical Retrieval - 2 ft

Product Description

The 3M DBI-SALA Y-Lanyard for Rescue and Vertical Retrieval is a specialized rescue and retrieval accessory engineered for use in confined space entry, vertical retrieval, and rescue operations where a worker must be extracted from a confined space or elevated position by a rescue team or mechanical retrieval system. The Y-lanyard configuration features a single upper connection point that attaches to the retrieval system or rescue line, and two lower legs that connect to the worker's full-body harness at the designated retrieval attachment points — typically the shoulder D-rings or a combination of shoulder and chest attachment points — distributing the retrieval load across multiple harness attachment points for a controlled and stable extraction.

The two-leg lower configuration of the Y-lanyard positions the worker in an upright or near-upright orientation during vertical retrieval, which is critical for safe extraction through confined space entry points such as manholes, vessel openings, and other restricted access openings where maintaining the worker in a controlled body position facilitates passage through the opening and reduces the risk of injury during extraction. At 2 ft in length, this Y-lanyard is designed to keep the connection between the retrieval system and the worker's harness attachment points short and compact, minimizing the distance between the retrieval anchor and the worker during extraction and providing precise control of the worker's position throughout the retrieval operation.

As a 3M DBI-SALA product, this Y-lanyard is engineered to the performance and quality standards of the DBI-SALA rescue and retrieval product line and must be used as part of a complete confined space rescue and retrieval system including a compatible retrieval winch or tripod system, full-body harness with designated retrieval attachment points, and all associated rescue equipment required by applicable confined space entry and rescue regulations.
