                For safety reasons when working at height, wearing a harness is mandatory. The safety harness is part of the PPE, personal protective equipment, in the event of a fall. In fact, the harness attached to an anchor point constitutes a stopping system in the event of a fall. The safety harness is essential equipment in certain sectors of activity such as: building, green space, maintenance, cleanliness, cleaning, etc.

                Characteristics of a safety harness (Epi): anti-fall

                The safety harness is part of personal protective equipment designed for all work in height (on scaffolding, roofs or confined spaces). It is intended to stop the fall and limit access to a risky area. It is composed, among other things, of straps made from synthetic materials. These encompass the torso, pass between the legs and hold the pelvis. The straps are adjustable via a buckle. On the harness, there are also rings allowing you to attach to the safety rope.

                Working at height: the different types of mandatory safety harness

                For safety reasons when working at height, wearing a harness is mandatory, it constitutes a stopping system in the event of a fall. Safety harnesses have been designed to adapt to the user's body shape in order to support them during a fall and better distribute their weight. They must meet strict safety requirements, in particular NF EN 361 (see our size guide) . Manufacturers offer several models of harnesses to adapt to various situations:

                • Thefall arrest harness with one or two points: this model offers a dorsal and/or sternal attachment point. The back closure system is essential for people who must remain seated in a vehicle while wearing the harness. For those who work on ladders, it is better to opt for a harness with a sternal attachment.
                • Therotating belt harness: this type of protective equipment is intended for people working on pylons. They can turn safely while hanging.
                • The harness, vest or jacket: is best suited for people who only use them occasionally, specifically visitors to construction sites.
                • The harness with padding at shoulder level: designed for optimal comfort, the straps are reinforced at the level.

                Use and regulations: How to choose your safety harness and what certification?

                Choosing a safety harness should not be done lightly and must meet standards. Guarantee of safety and comfort, this equipment must be adapted to the needs of the user. To understand the different models offered on the market, different points must be taken into account, starting with the security classes. The EN 361 harness acts like a seat belt. It is not equipped with suspension and holds in the event of a fall. For work positioning harnesses, it is better to opt for models complying with EN 813 standards with a ventral attachment point or EN 358 with lateral attachment points >.

                Please note that safety harnesses meeting standard EN 361 (with shoulder straps) are the regulatory and mandatory basis for working at height.

                The choice of attachment is an element to take into account when choosing a safety harness. In the event of a fall, a fall protection equipment equipped with a dorsal or sternal attachment system does the job perfectly.

                • Lanyards must be equipped with energy absorbers
                • The fall protection must meet the EN 353-2 standard
                • The fall arrester must comply with standard EN 353-1 with a heat sink

                fall arrest accessories must be prohibited on side attachments or central, because the shock can cause injury. In addition, the points are intended only for maintaining a workstation and moving using a descender.

                How to inspect and check a safety harness?

                When inspecting your safety harness hardware, be sure to examine all components carefully. Start with the buckles and D-rings to look for any signs of tampering or damage; then move on to the straps before checking the stitching and labels - which will tell you the age of that particular part based on its serial number, no matter the manufacturer.

                The harness should be inspected for signs of abrasion, mold and burns. If you notice any damage or discoloration, it is best to discard the equipment immediately, as even small holes can lead to serious injury if not repaired properly!

                How to attach, adjust and use a safety harness?

                To use your harness, 4 steps are essential:
                1- You must always start by checking the condition of the harness as well as checking its attachment points
                2- Then install the harness while still checking whether the attachment points are well positioned,
                3- Now just adjust the harness and make your adjustments,
                4- To finish close the harness and you can carry out your activity.

                It is also very important to check whether the anchor points are well fixed to avoid any accidents.

                Lifespan: How to maintain and wash your safety harness?

                It is important to keep in mind that safety equipment, including harnesses, must be regularly inspected, cleaned, repaired if necessary and stored in the appropriate place . It is the responsibility of the head of the establishment to carry out or have carried out his checks. As for users, they are required to respect the conditions of use, storage and maintenance and to report those responsible in the event of non-compliance. Their safety is at stake.

                Wearing a safety harness is essential to prevent accidents related to working at height, and to ensure protection against falls. Basic maintenance of this safety equipment contributes to the prolongation of its durability and its proper operation. It is then necessary to regularly check the straps, buckle and rope. To clean this safety equipment, start by removing surface dirt with a wet sponge. Rinse then squeeze the sponge out of the water, and soak it in a solution of water and detergent. Rub the surface to be cleaned vigorously until you obtain a thick foam. Then rinse the straps with clean water and let them air dry.

                Like all personal protective equipment, the harness must be chosen according to the work and the user. Before use, the worker must ensure that the harness is:

                • Well fitted for freedom of movement
                • Maintained to guarantee its protective capacity
                • Has not suffered any deterioration

                It should be noted that when a safety harness has already fulfilled the fall prevention role, whether it represents visible damage or not, it must be replaced in order to avoid the risks associated with falling. Indeed, seams, rings, straps or other components of the harness may have been damaged.
