A harness is a piece of equipment designed to secure a person to a stationary object or support structure to prevent falls or injury. It is commonly used in industries such as construction, roofing, and tree care, as well as in recreational activities such as rock climbing and mountaineering. A harness typically consists of straps or webbing that wrap around the chest, waist, and legs, and may include a dorsal attachment point for connecting a safety lanyard or lifeline. Different types of harnesses are available for different applications, including full body harnesses, chest harnesses, and seat harnesses. It is important to select the appropriate harness for the job and ensure it is properly fitted and used according to manufacturer instructions to ensure maximum safety.
