Secure Protection For Working At Height

Safety harnesses and lanyards are essential to any personal protective equipment ( PPE ) used for working at height. Fully body-protective, they keep workers tied to anchoring devices like ropes, carabiners, or safety lines, protecting them from falling when working on roofs or in other dangerous areas. The secure connection between the worker and their anchoring point ensures maximum security and safety when operating in hazardous environments.

Stay Compliant

It is a legal requirement to regularly inspect your protective equipment and check your harness for any safety faults or defects. Employers or site managers are responsible for inspecting, recording and replacing any harnesses and lanyards in use. Something as simple as a small tear or fray to the stitching could lead to fatal falls if worn undetected.

Inspection Process

When inspecting and replacing protective gear, it's essential to be thorough. Follow these steps for checking harnesses and lanyards:

  • Inspect the equipment for any wear, tear or damage.
  • Ensure that all buckles are correctly secured.
  • Check all webbing threads for any breaks or fraying.
  • Test the connections of the equipment to ensure they hold firmly together.
  • Ensure that the lanyard & harness are the proper lengths and fit snugly against your body when wearing them.
  • Inspect labels for expiration dates, manufacturer information, etc.
  • If you have any doubts about the safety of your gear, replace it with a new one immediately.
