Safety Harness FAQs

What type of safety harness do I need?

The right safety harness depends on the work being carried out. A fall arrest harness is used where there is a risk of falling from height, while rope access and work positioning harnesses are designed for more specialist suspension and positioning tasks. Rescue harnesses and evacuation harnesses are used in emergency response and rescue situations.

Are all safety harnesses full body harnesses?

No. This collection includes different types of safety harnesses, including full body safety harnesses, sit harnesses, chest harnesses, rescue harnesses and specialist accessories. Full body harnesses are commonly used for fall arrest and industrial work at height, while sit harnesses and chest harnesses may be used as part of specific rope access, climbing or rescue systems.

What is the difference between a fall arrest harness and a rope access harness?

A fall arrest harness is designed to help protect a worker in the event of a fall from height. A rope access harness is designed for technicians who may be suspended on ropes for extended periods and often includes features for work positioning, equipment carrying and compatibility with rope access systems.

Can these harnesses be used for rescue work?

Some harnesses in this range are designed for rescue, evacuation and emergency response work. Rescue harnesses are typically chosen for specific rescue scenarios, so it is important to select equipment that is suitable for the task, user and rescue plan.

How often should a safety harness be inspected?

Safety harnesses should be checked before each use and inspected regularly by a competent person in line with manufacturer guidance, workplace procedures and relevant regulations. Any harness showing signs of damage, excessive wear, contamination or deformation should be removed from use.
