The Ultimate Guide to Harness Selection
Introduction:
Welcome to the Allen Safety Podcast, where Joe and Jen unravel the mysteries of safety equipment. In this episode, they dive deep into harnesses, revealing the top four crucial considerations before making a purchase.
1. Size Matters:
The hosts emphasize the importance of choosing the right size for a harness. Stressing that adjustability has limits, they underscore that Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is personal, urging listeners to understand preferences and brand variations. They recommend testing multiple sizes to ensure a perfect fit for every user.
2. Style and Fit:
Delving into harness styles, Joe and Jen highlight key components like leg straps, garment-style connections, and backside adjustments. They discuss the impact of comfort on usage duration and stress the need to match harness styles with specific tasks. Various connection points, front and back, are explored, providing a comprehensive guide for optimal harness selection.
3. Lanyard Selection:
The hosts dissect lanyard choices, advocating for retractable options with shock absorbers. They caution against using mismatched brands between harness and lanyard, emphasizing the importance of a cohesive fall protection system. Practical tips, such as avoiding looping lanyards unnecessarily, add a layer of insight to ensure safe usage.
4. Understanding Usage:
The episode underscores the necessity of understanding the intended use of the harness. From climbing ladders to confined spaces, Joe and Jen stress that harness selection is a tailored process. They encourage conducting an elevated work survey before purchasing, outlining the importance of job-specific harnesses for various scenarios.
Closing Thoughts:
The hosts conclude with a reminder that safety is a continuous process. They advocate for hazard engineering over reliance on PPE, encouraging listeners to explore alternative safety measures such as catwalks, ladders, and platforms. The hosts express gratitude for the support, inviting listeners to engage further through the Alan Safety Coaching website.
