2. IntroductionIntroduction
A safety harness is a form of protective
equipment designed to protect a person, animal or object
from injury or damage. The harness is an attachment
between a stationary and non-stationary object and is
usually fabricated from rope, cable or webbing and
locking hardware.
3. A safety belt holds you at the waist.
It is suitable for preventing you
from falling, but not for catching you,
should you fall.
A safety harness holds you at thighs,
buttocks, waist and shoulders and is
suitable for catching you if you do fall
off an edge.
The webbing lanyard is suitable for
standard fall arrest applications. The
webbing lanyard is lightweight, easy
to use and does not retain dirt or
grime, making it perfect for every day
use.
4. The rope lanyard is suitable for working around slightly
abrasive surfaces. The rope lanyard is robust and great in heavier
duty applications.
Double webbing lanyards are generally used to access different
areas of a building or tower without being disconnected, and are
the perfect way to be connected to an anchorage point at all
times.
