Essential Guide to Choosing Safety Harnesses
Choose the right safety harness with our comprehensive guide. Learn about various types, proper fit, safety features, and maintenance for optimal fall protection.
In the world of safety equipment, choosing the right safety harness is crucial. Whether you're working on a construction site, operating a cherry picker, or simply climbing ladders, a safety harness can be the difference between a safe workday and a serious accident. This guide aims to help you understand the different types of safety harnesses and how to choose the right one for your specific needs.
A safety harness is a personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect you from falls. It distributes the force of a fall across your body, minimising injury. The harness is typically attached to a lanyard, which connects you to a secure anchor point.
There are several types of safety harnesses, each designed for specific applications:
- Fall Arrest Safety Harness: This is the most common type of harness, more often than not a 2 point safety harness with front and rear connection points. It's designed to stop a fall and absorb the shock, preventing injury. These are manufactured to the EN361 standard.
- Positioning Harness: This type also has a work positioning belt built in that allows you to work hands-free at height by supporting your body in a specific position, EN361 and EN358.
- Suspension Harness: Used mainly in activities like window cleaning and rope access, this harness supports you while you're suspended in the air. These must conform to EN361, EN358 and EN831.
- Rescue Harness: Designed for emergency situations, it allows rescuers to safely lift or lower individuals; EN361 and EN1496.
Working at Heights: Safety Harness Insights
A safety harness consists of several key components:
- Straps: Made from durable materials like nylon or polyester, these wrap around your legs, chest, and shoulders.
- D-Rings: Metal rings that serve as attachment points for lanyards. On some harnesses, these can be found as textile loops rather than metal D-links
- Adjustment Buckles: Used to adjust the fit of the harness to your body.
- Fastening Buckles: These can be mating buckles where one must pass through the other to secure in place, or quick-release buckles that release by squeezing buttons on the top and bottom of the buckle.
- Padding: Provides extra comfort during prolonged use. Not all harnesses have padding, which is often used in instances where the harness might be used infrequently or in one-off cases (i.e. in an emergency)
Selecting the right safety harness requires considering several factors:
The nature of your work will significantly influence the type of harness you need. For instance, if you're working in a cherry picker, a full-body harness with a fall arrest system is essential.
A safety harness must fit well to be effective. Ensure the harness is adjustable and provides sufficient padding, especially if you'll be wearing it for long periods.
Every harness has a maximum weight capacity. Be sure to choose one that can safely support your weight, including any tools or equipment you might be carrying.
Ensure the harness meets the safety standards relevant to your industry. In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets these standards.
Durability
Look for harnesses made from high-quality materials. The stitching and hardware should be robust enough to withstand wear and tear. All of the harnesses offered by Lifting Safety are quality products from industry-leading and world-renowned manufacturers.
A safety harness is often used in conjunction with a safety lanyard. The lanyard connects the harness to an anchor point, providing additional safety.
- Shock-Absorbing Lanyards: These lanyards reduce the force of a fall by arresting and minimising injury. For this reason, these types of lanyards are also referred to as fall arrest lanyards.
- Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs): Automatically retract and extend as you move, providing freedom of movement. In the event of a fall, the device will arrest the fall; these are also referred to as fall arrest blocks.
- Positioning Lanyards: Designed for work positioning and restraint, they allow you to work hands-free. Typically, you would see a restraint lanyard being used in a cherry picker with a full body safety harness, for example, to stop the user from reaching the falling edge.
Full Body Harnesses: Ensuring Your Safety
A full body safety harness provides maximum protection by distributing the force of a fall across your shoulders, chest, and thighs. Here's how to use it effectively:
Before using a harness, inspect it thoroughly.
Check for any signs of wear, damage, or missing parts. Ensure all buckles and D-rings are secure.
Adjust the harness so it fits snugly. The straps should be tight enough to prevent slipping but not so tight as to restrict movement.
Attach the lanyard to the D-ring on your harness, ensuring it's properly secured to the anchor point.
Proper maintenance can extend the life of your safety harness:
- Regular Inspections: Inspect your harness before each use. Look for frayed straps, bent D-rings, and damaged buckles.
- Cleaning: Clean your harness regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could weaken the material.
- Storage: Store your harness in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Using a safety harness incorrectly can negate its protective benefits.
Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
- Incorrect Fit: A harness that's too loose or too tight can be ineffective.
- Improper Attachment: Ensure the lanyard is securely attached to both the harness and the anchor point.
- Ignoring Weight Limits: Exceeding the weight capacity can lead to equipment failure.
Choosing the right safety harness is vital for your safety when working at heights. By understanding the different types of harnesses and considering factors such as fit, weight capacity, and compliance, you can select the best harness for your needs. Remember to regularly inspect and maintain your harness to ensure its effectiveness. With the right equipment, you can work safely and confidently at any height.
