Prior to installation and use of this equipment, record the product identifi cation information from the ID label in the
Inspection and Maintenance Log (Table 2) at the back of this manual.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Figure 1 Illustrates the 3M™ DBI-SALA™ Sliding Beam Anchor. The Sliding Beam Anchor is a single point anchorage connector
for a personal fall arrest system or personal fall restraint system designed to be attached to a beam.
Figure 2 Illustrates components of the Sliding Beam Anchor. See Table 1 for Component Specifi cations. The Sliding Beam Anchor
is comprised of a notched Support Bar (A) with a swiveling Connector Ring (B) and adjustable Hook Ends (C) that hook over
each edge of a beam fl ange with Tab Locks (D) that engage the notches on the Support Bar. The Sliding Beam Anchor slides
smoothly along the beam on Wear Pads (E). A Lanyard or Self-Retracting Device (SRD) is connected between the Swiveling
Connector Ring on the Sliding Beam Anchor and the appropriate attachment element on the user's Full Body Harness.
System Specifi cations:
Capacity:
1 Person with a combined weight (clothing, tools, etc.) of no more than:
310 lbs (141 kg) for ANSI, 420 lbs (191 kg) for OSHA.
Anchorage
The required Anchorage Strength depends on the application:
Strength:
Fall Arrest: The structure to which the Anchorage Connector is attached must sustain static loads
applied in the directions permitted by the Fall Arrest System (Figure 1) of at least: 3,600 lbs (16 kN)
with certifi cation of a Qualifi ed Person
Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) is attached to an anchorage, these static loads must be multiplied by
the number of PFAS attached to the anchorage.
OSHA 1926.500 and OSHA 1910.66: Anchorages used for attachment to a Personal Fall Arrest
System (PFAS) must be independent of any anchorage used to suspend or support platforms and
must support 5,000 lbs (22 kN) per user attached, or be designed, installed, and used as part of a
completer PFAS which maintains a Safety Factor of a least 2 and is supervised by a Qualifi ed Person
Restraint: The structure to which the Anchorage Connector is attached must sustain static loads applied
in the directions permitted by the Restraint System (Figure 1) of at least 3,000 lbs (13 kN). When more
than one Restraint System is attached to an anchorage, the static load must be multiplied by the number
of Restraint Systems attached to the anchorage.
