Aug 24, 2023 1:28:17 PM / by Seah Shu Qing

When it comes to working at heights, the paramount importance of fall protection cannot be overstated. Among the array of safety gear available, full-body harnesses stand out as a lifeline against the unforgiving force of gravity. These harnesses are meticulously designed to distribute the impact forces of a fall across the body, preventing catastrophic injuries. The OSHA states that if a worker can fall 6 feet (1.8m) or more while working they must have a fall protection system in place. 

 

The importance of wearing the right body harnesses cannot be emphasized enough. Wearing a fitted full-body harness and lanyard correctly is a crucial measure to prevent falls from height. The harness provides a secure connection between the worker and a fall protection system anchored to the structure. A comprehensive guide to full-body harnesses sheds light on their components and their suitability across various industries.

Three Major Components of a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS):

 

A PFAS includes three vital components:

  • Full body harness
  • Anchorage point,
  • Connecting device (lanyard or retractable lifeline with snap hooks).

    These elements collaborate to establish a thorough fall protection system. The full-body harness plays a crucial role by evenly distributing impact forces during a fall. This design enhances safety and enables efficient and secure task execution at elevated heights.

Real-life tragedies underscore the dire consequences of neglecting fall protection. Instances where workers lacked proper body harnesses have resulted in severe injuries or fatalities. Prior to commencing work at heights, it's essential to thoroughly inspect the harness for its condition. Verify that the straps fit comfortably around your body, ensuring there's no risk of restricting blood circulation.
