Harness
Harnesses are essential for protecting workers at height and in high-risk environments. By selecting the right type of harness for your job, you can ensure compliance with safety standards and significantly reduce the risk of injury. Be sure to check for key features like comfort, durability, adjustability, and proper attachment points when choosing a harness for your team.
Key Features to Look for in a Harness:
-
Comfort and Fit: A harness that is properly adjusted for the wearer ensures comfort and safety. Look for harnesses with padded shoulder straps, waist straps, and leg straps.
-
Durability: Ensure the harness is made from high-quality materials (e.g., polyester, nylon) that can withstand wear and tear.
-
Attachment Points: Check for reinforced D-rings or loops, which serve as attachment points for lanyards, lifelines, or fall arrest systems.
-
Adjustability: A harness with adjustable straps allows for a custom fit, which is especially important if the harness will be used by different workers.
-
Compliance: Always ensure that the harness meets CSA, ANSI, or other relevant safety standards for your region.
