Safety harnesses – Fall protection harnesses from 3M™ Protecta® and DBI-SALA®
Choosing the right fall protection harness is very important when working at height. In addition to total safety and durability, a harness must also provide functionality, comfort, and flexibility so that you can perform at your best with confidence. We have selected the best harnesses from the 3M™ range in three price categories, with one full body harness and one full body harness with positioning belt in each group.
The fall arrest device acts as a link between the safety harness and the fall protection connection device. The fall arrestor absorbs the energy generated during a fall by means of a sewn strap in the fall arrestor that unfolds and slows down the speed of the fall – the body is not exposed to forces greater than 6 kN.
It is important to use the fall arrestor line/fall arrestor in the right situations, i.e. when the potential fall height is generally greater than 6 meters. At potential fall heights lower than approx. 6 meters, a fall arrest block should be used, as the block brakes and stops a possible fall more quickly.
The fall arrest device must be certified according to CE EN355.
