Safety Belts

Description

Safety Belt is a piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) used for fall protection when working at heights. It features straps that fit around the thighs, pelvis, chest, shoulders, and back, distributing fall forces and minimizing injury. Key features and information about safety harnesses include:

Components:

• Straps: Typically made of polyester or nylon webbing.
• D-rings: Metal rings, often located on the back (dorsal) and sometimes at the chest or hips, used for connecting to lanyards and other fall protection equipment.
• Buckles: Used for adjusting and securing the harness. Types include pass-through and quick-connect buckles.
• Lanyard: A flexible line, often with a shock absorber, used to connect the harness to an anchor point.

Features:

• Fall Protection: Designed to arrest falls and protect workers from injury.
• Distribution of Force: Distributes fall forces across the body to minimize trauma.
• Adjustability: Adjustable straps ensure a proper and secure fit.
• Durability: Made from abrasion-resistant materials for long-lasting use.
• Impact Indicators: Some harnesses have indicators that show if they’ve been exposed to a fall, signaling the need for replacement.
