Safety Harnesses

No. A harness is one part of a fall arrest system that also needs an anchor point rated for it, a lanyard or inertia reel matched to the fall distance, and a rescue plan for getting someone down. Suspension trauma starts in minutes, so the plan is not optional.

Formal inspection intervals and service life are set by the manufacturer for the specific product, and the wearer needs a pre-use check every time. Any harness that has arrested a fall is finished and must be withdrawn, regardless of how it looks.
