The Evolution and Importance of Full Body Safety Harnesses in Fall Arrest

Full Body Safety Harnesses

Fall arrest bodywear has undergone a remarkable transformation from basic body belts to the comprehensive full body safety harnesses we have today. Manufacturers, such as Guanhang, have dedicated decades to enhancing the fit, comfort, and safety of their designs. Every strap and buckle is strategically placed to offer optimum protection.

For example, a worker's full-body harness is engineered to snugly fit their body. In the event of a fall, this guarantees that the arrest force is distributed throughout the entire body, mainly through the pelvis, instead of concentrating on a single point and potentially leading to injury or worse consequences.

Conversely, a harness that fits loosely will stop the fall before the user does, causing the worker's body to strike the harness straps with excessive force, which may result in secondary injuries.
