Safety Harness
Full Body Safety Harness
The full body safety harness is a critical component of fall protection systems, designed to evenly distribute the impact forces across the wearer's thighs, chest, shoulders, and pelvis in the event of a fall. Ideal for use in construction, maintenance, tower climbing, window cleaning, scaffolding, and industrial operations, the harness offers maximum fall arrest protection by securing the worker’s entire body. It comes equipped with D-rings, adjustable straps, and reliable buckle systems to ensure both safety and comfort during extended use.
Half Body Safety Harness
Half body harnesses are designed primarily for restraint and positioning work rather than fall arrest. They secure the user around the waist and thighs, offering support in activities like rope access, controlled descent, and certain maintenance tasks where the risk of falling is minimal. These harnesses are lighter and allow more freedom of movement, commonly used in climbing, electrical maintenance, or indoor tasks.
