Dynamic self-retracting lanyards are a safety device used for working at height. The lanyard works by minimising the fall distance, which in turn reduces the distance taken to dissipate the energy while keeping the forces created to a safe and acceptable level.

This ensures that users are comprehensively protected against falls from height, the injuries resulting from collisions with any nearby hazards and the forces exerted by the safety equipment.

A new milestone has been achieved by SpanSet UK, with their 2016 launch of DSL 2. This achieves a 50% improvement on the fall clearance requirements set out in BS EN 355:2002 Personal protective equipment against falls from a height – Energy absorbers.

As a production and sales company specialising in height safety, lifting and load control, the product builds upon the original DSL by reducing safe clearance heights even further.

The problems with falling are summarised by two factors:

* The freefall distance.
* The arrest distance.

The greater the freefall distance is the longer the arrest distance. The further the freefall distance the more likely there will be collisions with obstacles or a surface. Previously, lanyards could only provide the choice of freedom of movement or security, but were incapable of providing the right length for each task that would keep the potential fall to the minimum.

The DSL 2 is suitable in situations where there is low clearance and a lack of overhead anchorages (such as scaffold construction). It retracts exactly like a Fall Arrest Block but can be used like an Energy Absorbing Lanyard, anchored anywhere from below foot level to overhead. As a hybrid of Fall Arrest Blocks and Energy Absorbing Lanyards, the DSL 2 provides a balance in that the risks of stopping too quick or too slow are ameliorated.

In testing, the DSL 2 arrested the falling mass completely before a conventional lanyard even became taut. For larger users, the DSL 2 has been tested for users up to 140 kg.
