Polyester straps offer better resistance to acidic chemicals.

The tag cover has a hook and loop closure that protects the inspection tags from elements such as sun, dirt, rain, snow, oils, etc.

This basic harness is suitable for occasional construction or maintenance work. The economic aspect of this harness is reflected in the appearance of its metal components. It is particularly appreciated for its ease of donning thanks to grommeted leg straps buckles. It is important to add that the harness must be well adjusted and tight on the worker's body. Otherwise, the worker may be expelled from the harness during a fall. The eyelets on the thighs are at regular intervals, so it is not possible to have a perfect fit for everyone.

Inspection:

The worker is responsible for visually inspecting the harness before each use. During this routine inspection, the worker must note any signs of degradation, malfunction, or breakage. The harness will have to be replaced if any such signs are detected.

On top of this routine inspection, the harness must be inspected by a qualified person different than the worker that wears the harness. The frequency of these inspections varies according to the manufacturer. Some manufacturers require an inspection every 90 days, others every 180 days, or even yearly. These inspections should be performed more often if the harness is worn in extreme environmental working conditions.

The recommended lifetime of a safety harness if 5 years. While some manufacturers keep silent on this topic, in practice, if the harness is used regularly and stored and maintained in standard conditions, its lifetime will not exceed 5 years in most cases. Sylprotec offers a safety harness inspection service. Find out more by clicking on the Services tab, under the Sylprotec logo at the top of the page. Any equipment that has withstood a fall or an impact must be scrapped.

Maintenance:

For cleaning, use a gentle soap or detergent and lukewarm water (37°C). Do not use bleach, chlorine, or other abrasive or chemical products. If your harness is too dirty or contaminated, it is time to replace it. Air dry without using heat, in a clean environment. You can accelerate the drying process by wiping the wet harness with a clean absorbent wipe, or by using a fan. Avoid exposing the harness to sunlight and to any sources of contamination.

Warning:

We would like to advise our customers that this model of sling may be difficult to adjust properly in the thigh area. If at first it seems easier because of the eyelets, it proves difficult to have a proper fit when your fit is between the 2 eyelets.

Suggestion:

To complete your fall protection you will find a range of lanyards, retractable and anchors. Some products are suggested under the "accessories" tab at the bottom of this page.
