Collection: Fall Protection

Build a fall arrest system

• Anchor point – a structural point or anchor device the system is attached to.
• Full body safety harness (EN 361) – the only body holding device allowed for fall arrest.
• Connecting element – a shock absorbing lanyard (EN 355) or a self-retracting lifeline / fall arrester (EN 360).
• Connectors (EN 362) – karabiners and scaffold hooks that join the parts.

Work positioning and restraint

Work-positioning belts (EN 358) hold you in place while you work with both hands, but they are not designed to arrest a fall – always combine them with a full body harness when there is a fall risk.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need training to use fall protection equipment? Yes. Fall protection must only be used by trained persons, under a rescue plan, and following the manufacturer's instructions supplied with each product.

How often should a safety harness be inspected? Check it visually before every use and have it inspected by a competent person at the interval given in the instructions (typically at least every 12 months). Withdraw any equipment that has arrested a fall.

Complete your kit with safety helmets, work gloves and safety boots.
