Six features to look for when when selecting a safety harness

摘要

The full body harness is perhaps the most common piece of equipment in the fall-protection industry. It is also possibly one of the most under-considered. A harness is a necessity for almost any worker in a fall arrest, fall restraint, or work positioning scenario, and yet, do we take time to consider whether or not our harness is the one best suited to our needs? Over the years, industrial fall-protection harnesses have evolved from a set of basic webbing straps sewn together to catch the human form, to a carefully designed, all-inclusive safety device that has made working at heights a safer endeavor. The availability of upgrades has grown significantly during this evolution, and nowadays users can pick and choose all aspects of a harness to befit their trade and work environment.
