Harness

What do I want?

Comfort. You want the perfect fit. To ensure a perfect fit, harnesses are available in different sizes. A standard size will fit most workers.

Ease of Use. You want a harness that is easy for you to get into and adjust. A vest-style harness is put on like a jacket. The choice of style is a matter of personal preference.

There are different types of leg strap connections available on a harness:

• Qwik-Fit (mating buckle)

• Tongue-Buckle

Both styles offer a fast and easy connection and adjustment. The choice of leg strap connections is a matter of personal preference.

You also have a choice of D-Ring configurations on a harness: Back D-Rings (required on every harness) and hip (side) D-Rings. General D-Ring usage is as follows:

• Back D-Ring. This is the attachment point for your lanyard. It can also be used as a rescue attachment.

• Hip (side) D-Rings. Typically used for work positioning activities to allow the worker to have their hands free to perform work, or for travel restriction applications.

Lanyard

How do I know which to choose?

There are two primary types of lanyards:

• Shock-absorbing lanyards are used when the free fall distance (fall hazard) can exceed 2 feet.

• Restraint or positioning lanyards are used only when free fall distance (fall hazard) can be limited to 2 feet or less.

In choosing the correct lanyard, you must keep the application in mind.

• Make certain the lanyard is the proper length to allow the necessary worker movement/positioning.

• Make certain that the right material type is chosen (depending on your work environment).

• Make certain you have calculated your total fall distance.

You also need to consider the compatibility of the system components. The best way to ensure compatibility is to purchase all components from the same manufacturer.

Connector

How do I know which to choose?

Connector selection is driven primarily by application. You will need to carefully consider your work environment , in particular the type of structure where the connector will be attached.

Weight should also be a consideration if a worker will need to carry the connector around during the work day.

In addition, you will need to consider the number of workers required to attach to the connector. Most connectors are rated for 1 person with a 5,000 pound minimum breaking strength
