03. HARNESSES

Positioning and fall arrest slings are suitable for any work situation at height. A quality professional harness must be easy to put on and comfortable during work, but with rigidity in the appropriate spots. It must be light but durable and above all must have anchor points placed properly. To allow the operator to work safely, these slings generally have one or more ventral, lateral, sternal and dorsal attachment points. VENTRAL AND LATERAL ATTACHMENT POINTS Points transmitting the load to the level of the belt to work comfortably resting on the feet during the suspension, distributing the load between belt and leg loops.

STERNAL AND DORSAL ATTACHMENT POINTS They allow connecting a fall arrest system, ensuring the user a stable, reassuring position after a fall from height.
