Equipment designed to prevent falls or safely arrest them when working at height, including harnesses, lanyards, and anchor systems.
Working at height is a high-risk activity that requires robust fall protection systems. These systems are generally divided into fall restraint, which prevents the worker from reaching a fall hazard, and fall arrest, which safely stops a falling worker before they hit the ground or an obstacle.
A complete fall protection system consists of the "ABC" components: Anchor (the secure point of attachment), Body wear (the full-body harness), and Connector (the lanyard or lifeline linking the two). Each component must be correctly rated and inspected regularly to ensure integrity under load.
Each line below explains what it is, where it is used, and what to include in your enquiry so we can quote accurately.
The primary component for distributing fall forces across the body. They feature multiple D-rings for different attachment points and adjustable straps for a secure fit.
Buying noteConsider the duration of use; padded harnesses are better for workers spending long periods at height.
Connectors between the harness and the anchor. Fall arrest lanyards include an energy absorber to reduce the force transmitted to the body during a fall.
Buying noteConfirm the required clearance height to ensure the lanyard and shock absorber will activate safely before a worker hits the ground.
Secure points of attachment for the fall protection system. They can be permanently fixed to a structure or temporary and portable for specific tasks.
Buying noteAssess the structure the anchor will be attached to to ensure it can support the required fall arrest loads.
Devices that provide a retractable lifeline that locks automatically during a fall. They offer a shorter fall distance and more mobility than traditional lanyards.
Buying noteSpecify the required length and whether the unit will be used vertically or horizontally (leading edge).

Full-body harnesses and scaffold lanyards for multi-storey projects.
Specialised climbing harnesses for tower maintenance.
Fall arrest systems for rigs and refinery structures.
Height safety for wind turbine and power line maintenance.
Equipment must be chosen based on the specific application and environment.
Ensure the fall distance is sufficient for the lanyard and shock absorber to deploy.
Verify that the attachment point can withstand the forces generated by a fall.
Ensure all components (harness, lanyard, anchor) are designed to work together.
Fall protection is only effective if the user knows how to correctly wear and attach the gear.

Quick answers about sourcing fall protection.
It dissipates the energy of a fall, reducing the impact force on the worker’s body to a safe level.
No, any component that has been involved in a fall must be taken out of service and destroyed.
Restraint prevents you from reaching the edge; arrest stops you safely after you have already fallen.
They must be inspected by the user before every use and have a formal inspection by a competent person every 6 to 12 months.
