Full Body Harness | Fall Protection Harnesses

How Does a Full Body Harness Work?

Full body harnesses are the only accepted form of personal fall arrest protection you can use. These harnesses connect with hardware to safety lines that stop you from falling to the ground. Their design reduces the impact you feel when the harness supports your body weight during a fall.

When Should I Buy Fall Harnesses?

Construction teams require fall harnesses and fall protection equipment any time individuals will be at working heights of 6′ or higher. This OSHA requirement is under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Check out other trigger heights that necessitate fall protection equipment in various industries below:

General industry jobs require fall protection equipment at heights of 4′.
Workers in shipyards should have fall protection at heights of 5′.
Professionals working in controlled decking areas must have fall protection equipment at heights of 30′.

How Much Does a Fall Protection Harness Cost?

Prices for fall protection harnesses change depending on style, features and manufacturing materials. Most domestic products sit within the $40-$60 price range, but some harnesses can be several hundred dollars based on the features you require for success. Malta Dynamics sales representatives are happy to work with you when deciding on a harness style and fit that would work best for your applications.

How Long Should a Fall Protection Harness Last?

Malta Dynamics safety harnesses do not have expiration dates. It is up to a competent person on your construction site to decide whether a harness is suitable for use with a formal inspection. The life expectancy of your purchases will depend on multiple factors such as the weather conditions the equipment will be in, how your employees handle harnesses and the overall quality of the materials.

Storing full body safety harnesses indoors in a controlled environment will help to keep your purchases in good condition for as long as possible. Additionally, making sure your workers are thoroughly trained on how to fasten their equipment will keep harnesses working correctly.

Can Safety Harnesses Be Used After a Fall Occurs?

Once impact loading takes place, fall protection harnesses must be removed from a site immediately. The competent person on your site must inspect the equipment to ensure it is undamaged before anyone can use that harness again. OSHA requires businesses to follow this protocol for the well-being of employees.

How Do I Know a Safety Harness Fits Correctly?

Your safety harness will ship with manufacturer instructions for using the equipment. All harnesses are slightly different, but you can use the following steps to fasten a full body safety harness:

Pick up your harness by the back D-Ring.
Ensure that materials and straps sit straight and are untwisted.
Position the harness over your head and shoulders so that each shoulder strap runs vertically across your chest.
Pick up the leg straps and fasten them to each buckle near your hips.
Lock the chest strap in place.
Adjust the shoulder straps to the same lengths. Make sure there is no slack on the straps.
Look to see that the back D-Ring is directly between your shoulder blades.

A fall protection harness should fit close to the body without limiting movement. Ensure you can slide your fingers below your leg straps to encourage circulation.

Is There a Way to Wash My Full Body Safety Harness?

You can clean Malta Dynamics fall protection harnesses with a mild soap, sponge and water. Remove surface dirt by wiping a wet sponge across polyester materials. Scrub safety harness materials with mild soap or detergent to lift stubborn grime. Rinse your harness after scrubbing and allow the equipment to dry by hanging it up in an open area out of direct sunlight.

How Much Weight Can Malta Dynamics Safety Harnesses Support?

Malta Dynamics offers safety harnesses with a maximum weight capacity of 310 pounds per OSHA regulations and ANSI standards. This weight must account for the clothing and tools a worker has on them, too. Rest assured knowing we sell safety harnesses with the highest weight capacity recognized by the Accredited Standards Committee.

What Should I Wear Under a Safety Harness?

The fall protection harnesses available through Malta Dynamics do not have specific clothing requirements you should wear underneath the gear. Our experts recommend users wear loose-fitting pants and shirts that allow for natural movement. Our safety harnesses for sale may come in direct contact with the skin, but your employees may find it more comfortable to have clothing between the harness straps and skin to prevent irritation.

What Safety Harness Colors Are Available?

Malta Dynamics carries full body safety harnesses in orange and black shades. The polyester materials are easy to see from far away, so you can make sure your workers are wearing the equipment they need to maximize safety on the job.
