Full-Body Harnesses for Fall Protection
Full-body harnesses are the foundation of any personal fall arrest system, distributing fall forces across the shoulders, chest, and thighs to prevent injury in a fall event. Our harness selection includes ANSI Z359 and OSHA-compliant harnesses for construction, general industry, and arborist applications. Available in single back D-ring, front and back D-ring, and side D-ring configurations for different work positioning requirements.
Pair harnesses with self-retracting lifelines, shock-absorbing lanyards, and anchor connectors for a complete fall protection system. Browse our full harnesses and lifelines and climbing and fall protection collections for all certified components needed for safe work at height.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ANSI standard covers full-body harnesses?
ANSI Z359.11 covers full-body harnesses for personal fall arrest. Our harnesses meet ANSI Z359 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 requirements for construction fall protection applications.
How do I size a fall protection harness?
Harness sizing is based on height and weight combined with chest and waist measurements. Most harnesses have universal or large/medium/small sizing with full adjustability. A properly fitted harness should be snug but not restrictive, with the dorsal D-ring centered between the shoulder blades for effective fall arrest.
Can the same harness be used for climbing and fall protection?
Some harnesses serve both climbing positioning and fall arrest functions. Arborist-specific harnesses (saddles) are designed for tree work positioning, while construction harnesses are optimized for vertical fall arrest — each is best used in its intended application.
