Safety Harness FAQs
What is a safety harness?
A safety harness is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to prevent falls or minimise injury if a fall occurs. Worn around the body, the harness attaches to a lanyard, lifeline, or anchor point to secure the user and safely arrest a fall.
When is a safety harness required in the UK?
Whenever there is a risk of falling from height, typically when operating at 2 metres or more without collective fall protection, in line
How often should I inspect/replace my harness?
A safety harness should be visually inspected prior to every use and formally inspected by a competent person at least every 6 months. In harsher conditions or extensive use, it's recommended to inspect every 3 months.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing harnesses every 5 years under normal use—or sooner if damaged or exposed to a fall.
What standards should a safety harness meet in the UK?
In the UK, safety harnesses must comply with BS EN 361 for full-body harness and other relevant EN standards, ensuring they are CE-marked and tested for use in fall arrest systems.
