Safety harnesses for positioning have one D-ring on the upper back and two or more D-rings on the hip straps. The D-rings on the hip straps connect to positioning and restraint lanyards that help keep the wearer positioned correctly near his or her work while working at heights. This keeps the wearer’s hands free to do work and reduces the energy it takes to stay in place while working. The D-ring on the upper back attaches to a self-retracting lifeline or shock-absorbing lanyard that connects to a secure anchor point. Safety harnesses for positioning are often used for construction applications such as foundation-building and rebar work.Safety harnesses are devices worn by people who are working at heights to help reduce the risk of injury if they fall. The harness distributes the force of the fall across the wearer’s body when the fall is arrested. These fall-protection harnesses are secured around the shoulders torso and upper thighs. They have a single D-ring or web loop on the upper back dorsal for attaching a self-retracting lifeline or shock-absorbing lanyard that connects to a secure anchor point on a building or structure. The position of the D-ring reduces strain on the wearer’s body and keeps the wearer upright in the harness during and after a fall. Some safety harnesses have additional D-rings on the shoulders hips or chest that allow them to be used for positioning ladder climbing and raising or lowering workers into confined spaces.
