Harness

A personal fall arrest system consists of three major components: a full-body harness; a shock-absorbing lanyard or retractable lifeline; secure anchors. Stay Upright. The design of a full body harness serves to keep an employee upright in a fall. This will helps the deceleration device to properly deploy, but it keeps the spine vertical, which is the position in which it can best absorb comprehensive forces of a fall.

Harness

As a general guide, HSE advice is that anchorages for fall arrest (harness)should be inspected at least every 12 months and energy absorbing lanyards at least every 6 months or, if used in arduous environments, every 3 months. This has some useful information on energy absorbing lanyards.

These are the different types of fall safety equipment and their recommended usage. Another D-rings on the harness are for confined space rescue (shoulder D-rings), ladder climbing devices (front, chest D-ring), or positioning (side, hip D-rings). The webbing used on some harnesses are burn resistant. If you haven't done an inspection within the last 12 months. HSE guidelines recommend an inspection by a professional service every 6 months but PPE regulations require a minimum of 12 monthly inspections which should be recorded on the harness itself.

The Fall arrest is a monumental step forward in safety for workers who rely on fall arrest systems for work at heights.

Fall arrests are used on semi-static ropes ranging from 10-11 mm. The innovative cam creates dead sleek action on the rope. It is getting used to ascend or descend the road.

The performance can be further increased by using the rope surfer device. Impact on the rope is reduced to the minimum thanks to the specially designed locking mechanism (Fall arrest) that lowers the fall arrest force by half compared to other devices and locks the rope along a long axis, rather than pinching it aggressively with a toothed cam. Switching to ascension mode is accomplished with the straightforward push of a button on the rear of the device. Hot solid stainless-steel cam and protection parts mix with a sturdy alloy body for exceptional sturdiness over time.
