Safety Harness


Safety Harness


Safety harness is one of the important device which used in rope access method. It is used to protect the rope access technicians from injuries if they fall. It is not easy to be being hung by two pieces of ropes to perform the jobs. They need something to take rest and relax, also to protect them. This is possible with the help of safety harnesses.

Before speaking about safety harness, we have to know what is rope access. Rope access is a technique which is used to reach to the areas where is difficult to reach in normal ways. For building cleaning and maintenance, we are using different methods such as scaffolding technique, Cradle technique, ..etc.

Why we are using rope access methods is, by using scaffolding and cradle techniques as well, we are unable to reach to some edges and corners of the huge buildings. Also, scaffoldings are very heavy. Tall buildings cannot hold this weight for long time, It can effect the strength of the entire building.

In such situations, rope access methods are very effective. How it can be done is, just by using two pieces of ropes along with necessary mechanical devices (These devices are known as rope access equipment) by the help of qualified rope access technicians.

In rope access methods we are using a lot of innovative equipment to help the technician to perform their job well and to protect them from fall and injuries. Suspending in a rope is very difficult to human being if they are not trained well. Therefore before entering into this industry, they have to attend related courses and should pass certifications.

Safety harness can help to avoid sudden falls and injuries. It makes a body covering and seating for relaxing. They can sit and work instead of hanging. It will help their body to adapt the height easily. If they fall down by accident, it will help to distribute the impact of the fall evenly across the body, which can reduce the risk of serious injury.
