The DBI-SALA Self-Rescue unit is your rescue plan, a flexible device that attaches to your current safety harness and allows you to lower yourself to safety in the event of a fall from height. This simple, fast and effective rescue plan minimizes risk for you, your coworkers, and emergency response personnel. With DBI-SALA Self-Rescue, you can work at height without worrying about being left suspended after an arrested fall event.
The 3M™ DBI-SALA® Self-Rescue Device is an emergency descent system that activates after a fall, offering workers a safe, controlled way to lower themselves to the ground. This device is ideal for professionals working at height who need immediate post-fall escape options.
Have you ever thought about what happens after a fall is arrested? How will your workers get down safely without waiting for rescue? The Self-Rescue Device provides a dependable solution—deploying automatically when needed and allowing a smooth descent from up to 100 feet (depending on model). It helps prevent suspension trauma and speeds up rescue response.
This lightweight, compact unit integrates directly into select 3M™ DBI-SALA® ExoFit™ and Delta™ harnesses without interfering with daily movement. Its low-profile design stays out of the way until it’s needed—then it’s ready in seconds.
The device uses a sealed, centrifugal brake to regulate descent speed, ensuring consistent and safe lowering regardless of the user’s weight (within rated capacity). No special training or tools are required to operate.
Compatible with select DBI-SALA® harnesses
Built-in deployment cord for quick access
Controlled descent rate of 3 ft/sec
Capacity: 130–310lbs (including tools)
Complies with OSHA and ANSI Z359.4 standards
For anyone working at height, the 3M™ DBI-SALA® Self-Rescue Device is an essential tool that adds a critical layer of protection beyond traditional fall arrest systems.
Instead of wondering how long it will take to alert others to your fall, or how long before trained rescuers can gather the appropriate equipment to get you down, you can simply avoid all that and free yourself.
