Frequently asked questions: Fall Arrest Harnesses
What is a fall-arrest harness used for?
A fall-arrest harness is PPE that holds the body in case of a fall from height, distributing the forces across the thighs, chest and shoulders. It is used for work at height, on lifting platforms, lattice towers, roofs and in confined spaces. It must always be connected to a complete fall-arrest system, with an anchor and a lanyard or retractable device.
Which standard applies to harnesses for work at height?
Fall-arrest harnesses are governed by EN 361, while work positioning belts follow EN 358. Check the standard and size on the model’s label. For a complete system also consider EN 355 for energy absorbers and EN 363, which describes the set of components.
Work positioning belt or fall-arrest harness: which to choose?
A work positioning belt, such as the Snaker EN 358 size L or the Stoppa from SpanSet, keeps the operator in the working position, for example on a pole or structure, but it is not a fall-arrest system. A harness with dorsal and sternal attachment points is required where there is a risk of free fall. Choose according to the risk assessment of the work.
Which variables matter when choosing a harness?
The main variables are size, number of attachment points, webbing material and type of buckles. The range includes harnesses with a belt, three-point models such as the Ultra FP73 from Portwest, and kits for lifting platforms such as the Black Kite. Try the size on by wearing the harness and adjust the straps properly before starting work.
How do you wear a harness safely?
Put on the harness following the manual, adjusting the straps so that the chest and pelvic straps are snug but comfortable. Check attachment points, buckles and stitching before each use, and do not use it if it is cut, burnt or worn. After a fall it must be replaced, even if no damage is visible.
Which harnesses are needed for working on mobile elevating work platforms?
For working on MEWPs, the range offers fall-arrest kits such as the Black Kite with a 2 m restraint lanyard and the SpanSet MEWP-PRO models. Connection must be made at the point indicated on the platform itself, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not connect the system to parts of the platform that are not provided for it.
How do you clean and store a harness?
Clean the harness with lukewarm water and neutral soap, without bleach or solvents, and let it dry in the shade, away from heat sources. Store it in a dry place, protected from UV rays and chemicals. The manufacturer states the inspection and replacement intervals, which must be recorded.
What accessories are available for fall-arrest harnesses?
Accessories include 45 mm DoubleBack buckle adjusters and extension straps, such as the SpanSet strap, which allow the adjustment to fit bodies of different sizes. Anti-trauma suspension straps help reduce the risks after a fall into suspension. Choose only accessories compatible with the brand and model of the harness.
