There are no margins for error.

Every day, workers throughout the world risk their lives to build the structures
we live in, work in, pass over, and communicate from. They are people like
you and I and they deserve the best protection available.
These situations are out there, and late in the day when you are tired and
your foot slips or you are in a harsh environment that is anything but clean,
wearing the BEST means you'll make it home that night.
The BEST means that every product produced and delivered meets or
exceeds the toughest standards required by the Occupational Safety and
Health Association (OSHA) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) as well as the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). It means that
these products and their testing is verified by a qualified third party, such as
the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI); designed and produced in accordance
with ISO 9001 certification standards, and backed with product liability, sup-
port and training.

We build the BEST. We are DBI/SALA

Safety Systems

Specialized Safety Systems

designed for the way you work.
DBI/SALA knows that while on the job you need
comfort, mobility and safety! We’ve designed
each component of our safety systems to be
fully customizable, ready to fit any size or
shape. And because every safety system provides
flexibility and full mobility, we make it easier to
keep working productively while remaining fully
protected.
With 25 years of fall protection expertise, we
offer the broadest line of safety equipment in
the industry; including harnesses, shock absorb-
ing lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, rescue and
retrieval equipment, netting and more! We engi-
neer all safety systems to meet (and exceed)
every code! The DBI/SALA team works with you
to design and construct a system engineered for
maximum safety and comfort every time!
We also have a complete line of specialty items
to address unique safety concerns and provide
safety solutions for challenging environments. For
example, flame-resistant Kevlar® webbing har-
nesses and lanyards assure safety when working
around flame and excessive heat. Non-spark-
ing/non-conductive hardware offers the
protection you need while working in explosive
environments or when electrical conductivity is
an issue.
With our total safety systems approach,
DBI/SALA takes fall protection to a new level.
And to make sure you have total protection,
each one of our five basic systems typically con-
tains four safety components: a body support,
connecting component, anchorage con-
nector and anchorage.

Restraint Roof Maintenance

Restraint systems prevent you from reaching an

area where a free fall could occur. Leading edge
roof work typically calls for a restraint system.
For body support you can use either a Delta-
No-Tangle™ full body harness or a body belt that
connects to a rope or web lanyard connecting
component. For secure anchorage, restraint
systems use an anchorage connector such as
an anchorage plate with a D-ring or a support
structure that connects to the lanyard with a
carabiner or snap hook.

 Specialty Harnesses

Specialty full body harnesses have extra features to add to your

comfort and safety in unique situations. For example, if you are
welding or in a potentially explosive environment, you want the protection
of a Kevlar® harness. If you are working on a tower structure, you need
special accessories to help reduce fatigue and give you a rest, along with D-
rings to hold your tools and keep them out of your way.
DBI/SALA will work with you to find the right specialty combination for your
application.We haven’t missed yet!
As an added defense against incendiary sparking while working in
potentially explosive environments or near flammable materials, choose the
protection that comes from fitting your DBI/SALA harnesses with non-con-
ductive, non-sparking PVC coated hardware.When it comes to your safety,
demand the best! The Kevlar® harness is
appropriate for any spark
producing environment.

Kevlar® full body harnesses are tough! They feature

flame-resistant 100% Kevlar® 29 webbing with a 800Þ
F char temperature and limited resistance to 1000Þ F.
They are also exceptionally resistant to cuts.

 Body Belts

Body Belts
DBI/SALA manufactures the most comfortable and
widest range of body belts you’ll find anywhere. For
example the three-inch body pads are designed
for comfort without sacrificing mobility. Our
body belts are easily customized to fit your body
and to fit your style of working.They are carefully
sewn with high strength bonded polyester thread at
5 to 7 stitches per inch and every component is
chosen for strength and durability.
Use body belts for inspection work, construction
and demolition, maintenance, oil production, and
any others activities where you need to be
restrained from a leading edge or where there is
NO possibility of a vertical free fall. Also, it is easy
to add a body belt to most harnesses for added
back support and versatility.
Remember, NEVER use body belts in situations
where there is any chance of a free fall!
Order all body belts by size.

To comply with federal law, the full body harness must include a
back D-ring for connection with an independent lifeline and
must incorporate a fall arrest sub-system that will limit the
maximum free fall to six feet or less and limit the maximum
arresting force to 1,800 lbs. or less. Contact DBI/SALA for fur-
ther information on compliance issues.

 Rope Grabs & Lifelines
DBI/SALA has you covered with a complete line of Suspended Platform Work
mobile and static rope grabs for both synthetic fiber
rope and steel wire cable, along with a wide variety
of lifelines to meet your work needs.
All of our rope grabs are made of high grade corro-
sion resistant materials. Our most popular
LAD-SAF ® rope grabs automatically follow
you, giving you maximum freedom and
hands-free operation. They can be detached or
removed anywhere along the lifeline.The rope grabs
utilize a cam lever as well as a friction sensitive
brake to lock the rope grab onto the lifeline in case
of a fall, even if the operator holds the device open in
a panic situation.They will also reduce the arresting
forces on a worker if there is a fall.
We manufacture a complete range of lifelines for
use with our rope grabs.They are available in 5/8-
inch or 3/4-inch polyester or polyester/polypropylene
blend rope and in cut lengths or assemblies that
include a self-locking snap hook at one end.

Rescue Positioning
System
Use this simple, extremely reliable rescue or position-
ing system to raise and/or lower yourself or someone
else, providing a stable way to reach a working level,
even in tight quarters.After reaching the working
level, you can lock out the RPD without needing a
tie-off. Backup safety is provided through an inertial
speed break that activates automatically if you lose
control or become unconscious.A slight tug on the
rope will resume the raising or lowering.

Dangerous situations are just a misstep or

the BEST means you'll make it home that

This catalog introduced DBI/SALA and our
wide range of safety equipment, from com-
plete fall protection and rescue systems, to
the components for those systems.
Because we design, engineer, manufacture,
test and inspect to standards that far
exceed the highest standards required by
the industry, you go to the job knowing
you’ve put your life in the hands of the
BEST.
The BEST means that every product pro-
duced and delivered meets or exceeds the
toughest standards required by the
Occupational Safety and Health
Association (OSHA) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and
the Canadian standards Association (CSA).
It means that every product and test is
verified by a qualified third party, such as
the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI); that it
is designed and produced in accordance
