Height Safety Harnesses

Height Safety Harnesses protect workers by connecting them to a secure anchor point using a lanyard. From the outset, the harness either prevents access to a fall hazard or arrests a fall safely if one occurs. As a result, harnesses form the foundation of any fall protection system.

However, choosing the right harness can feel challenging due to the wide range of options available. Therefore, understanding the main types helps simplify selection.

Common harness types:

  • Single Point Full Body Harness
    Ideal for basic fall arrest, with a rear attachment point.
  • Two Point Full Body Harness
    Offers front and rear attachment points for added versatility.
  • Multi-Point Full Body Harness
    Designed for specialised tasks such as rope access, utilities, and tower work.

In summary, selecting the correct harness improves safety, comfort, and performance when working at height.
