Safety harnesses are designed to prevent workers from falling. In order to adapt to the diverse tasks that workers may need to perform, safety harnesses exist in a wide variety of configurations, answering each user’s specific needs.
Manufacturers classify safety harnesses in 5 groups according to the equipment’s primary functions:
- Standard fall protection = Group A
- Fall protection and work positioning = Group P
- Fall protection and descent = Group D
- Fall protection and ladder climbing = Group L
- Fall protection and work in confined spaces = Group E
