If your job involves working in elevated work areas, a full-body safety harness can be a life-saving piece of PPE! Attached to a connector (like a lanyard or retractable lifeline) and an anchor point in your work area, harnesses keep you upright in the event of a fall and distribute the weight from the force of the fall across your body to minimize injuries.
Both fall protection harnesses and full-body harnesses cradle your shoulders, thighs, and mid-section for comfort, mobility, and safety while working at a height. Using proprietary materials and specially placed padding and webbing, harnesses are lighter and stronger than in years past while still holding up after each use.
While also designed to minimize the potentially life-altering effects of a fall, safety harnesses are sized to prevent a worker from colliding with an object or the level below their work area in addition to helping facilitate faster rescue efforts.
Many safety harnesses are designed for specific functions and situations to minimize the dangers of working at a height. CSA Z259.10-18 groups safety harnesses into specific classes, including:
Safety harnesses can be equipped with a combination of the following features:
Find these features among standard safety harness models as well as harnesses for welding operations, construction jobs, and worksites where workers need to move to different areas via ladders.
