6 Benefits of the Protecta Pro Harness
Why is protection from falling important?
Working at height can be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not taken. Many workers are injured or fall to their deaths each year because they do not realize the hazards of working at height. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration - OSHhttps://youtu.be/EHzWVwyRZFEA, "falls are among the most common causes of serious work related injuries and deaths." What can employers do to increase safety on the job?
What can be done to reduce falls?
Injuries and fatalities from falling remain a major occupational safety concern. A safety harness is an essential piece of equipment for anyone working at height. The fall protection harness worn should be a "full-body harness" that wraps around your staff's trunk, shoulders, and thighs. If an employee falls, a full-body harness will more evenly distribute force across the body, and that in turn will reduce the risk of serious injuries. A safety harness can protect from falls and save the life of your employee.
It is essential to wear a safety harness correctly and be appropriately trained in using it. There should be no frays, cuts, or signs of splitting. Check for worn stitching and damage to buckles, D rings, and adjusters. All equipment parts must have their integrity confirmed as safe by a competent person before use.
