Collection: Harnesses

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.

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 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.

Full body harnesses are the only accepted form of personal fall arrest protection you can use. These specific 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.

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.
