Fall Arrest Harness Blog

Harnesses are an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) which is designed to maximise the safety of employees who are required to work at height. Harnesses are often used by scaffolders, roofers and many working in the construction industry. A safety harness not only improves a workers safety but it also allows them to use their hands freely whilst working

There are three main components to any fall arrest system. The mounted support point, Self retracting lifeline and a safety harness. Safety harnesses are designed to disperse the force of a falling body without this dispersion the worker would most certainly be seriously injured. For this reason it is extremely important for workers to ensure they wear their safety harness correctly.
