    For Positioning

    For Climbing

    With D-rings on the back, chest, and each hip, these harnesses are the most versatile we offer. Clip your lanyard onto the chest D-ring to scale tall ladders without the line getting in the way. Keep your hands free for tools and tether yourself close to your work by clipping into the hip D-rings. Attach your lanyard to the back D-ring, and these harnesses will keep you upright if you fall. When used together with a lanyard and anchor, these harnesses help you meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards.
    We offer a variety of styles—from a basic, no-nonsense version to one that you’ll barely feel. Premium harnesses offer more comfort and are easier to put on and take off.

    Style B have crisscross straps that distribute weight evenly across your shoulders and back. They don’t have padding, so they’re less bulky than other harnesses. If you do fall, unfold the leg support straps to ease pressure on your legs while you wait for help.
    Belt Thigh Buckle—Belt thigh buckles reduce the risk of loosening over time. Lock them into the belt hole with each use.
    Impact-Indicating Stitching—Impact-indicating stitching is designed to tear during a fall or impact, so it’s easy to tell if a harness is still safe to use.
    Lanyard Holders—If you have an unused lanyard, clip it to one of the lanyard holders to keep it from dragging or catching on nearby equipment.
    RFID Tag—Scan the RFID tag to log inspections, track usage, and schedule maintenance to keep these harnesses compliant with safety regulations.

    Squeeze-Release Thigh

    Buckle

    Style A are our most basic option. With no padding, these harnesses are less bulky than other harnesses. However, they may chafe if worn for long periods. Criss-cross straps distribute the weight evenly while keeping your arms free to move at the shoulders. These harnesses have built-in leg support straps, also known as trauma straps. If you fall, unravel the straps and hook them under your feet to ease pressure off your legs while you wait for help.
    Squeeze-Release Thigh Buckle—Squeeze-release thigh buckles connect and disconnect more quickly than slide and belt thigh buckles. They’re also more convenient, as you don’t have to adjust the size each time you put them on.

    Style B are a good choice for dirty and dusty areas—the built-in vest protects these harnesses to prolong their lifespan. They’re made with mesh fabric to keep you cool and dry. You’ll be easier to spot in dim light, thanks to reflective stripes.
    Slide Thigh Buckle—Slide thigh buckles are the basic option. However, they’re not as easy to adjust as belt thigh buckles and they need to be adjusted each time.
    Impact-Indicating Stitching—Impact-indicating stitching is designed to tear during a fall or impact, so it’s easy to tell if a harness is still safe to use.

    For Positioning

    For Climbing

    Our most versatile harness for tasks at height in areas with arc-flash and fire hazards—these harnesses have a D-ring on the back, chest, and each hip. Made with Nomex and Kevlar, they’re tested to ASTM F887 for arc-flash protection. Attach a lanyard to the D-ring on the back, and these harnesses will keep you upright if you fall. The chest D-ring lets you clip into ladder-climbing systems without the line getting in your way as you climb. Hip D-rings let you tether yourself close to your work, so your hands are free for tools and equipment. When used together with an anchor and a lanyard, these harnesses help you meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards.
    Impact-Indicating Stitching—Impact-indicating stitching is designed to tear during a fall or impact, so it’s easy to tell if a harness is still safe to use.

    Handle heavy tools with more support than standard harnesses. Also known as derrick harnesses, they have a belt and built-in seat to distribute pressure and reduce fatigue. Keep your hands free for tools and tether yourself close to your work by clipping a positioning lanyard to the hip D-rings. These harnesses also have two back D-rings—one on the back of your waist and one between your shoulders. Use the bottom one with a tethering lanyard to prevent you from getting too close to the edge of the surface you're standing on. Attach a fall-arrest lanyard to the top D-ring on the back, and these harnesses will keep you upright if you fall. The D-ring also has an extension strap, so you can clip your fall-arrest lanyard on easily. When used together with a lanyard and anchor, these harnesses help you meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards.
    Impact-Indicating Stitching—Impact-indicating stitching is designed to tear during a fall or impact, so it’s easy to tell if a harness is still safe to use.
