    Fall-Arrest Harnesses

    If you fall while working at height, these general purpose harnesses keep you safe and upright. When used together with a lanyard and anchor, they help you meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards. Clip your lanyard to the D-ring on the back.
    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.

    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.
    Slide Thigh Buckle—Slide thigh buckles are the basic option, but they need to be tightened each time.
    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.

    Stay straight up and down while being raised and lowered. D-rings on the shoulders of these harnesses keep you from pitching forward, so you're less likely to catch on obstacles than if you were wearing a typical fall-arrest harness. They also have a D-ring on the back for fall protection. To keep the harness feeling comfortable and lightweight when worn for long periods, there’s padding on the back and shoulders. As you bend, sit, and move, the leg straps keep pressure off your inner thighs and won’t ride up. The hardware is aluminum for good strength without weighing you down. When used with a lanyard and an anchor, these harnesses help you meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards.
