ANSI Z359

ANSI Z359 is a set of safety standards developed by the American National Standards Institute for fall protection equipment and systems used in workplaces at heights. It provides guidelines to ensure the equipment—like harnesses, lanyards, anchors—and related practices are reliable, safe, and effective. The goal is to minimize the risk of falls and injuries for workers working at elevated positions. By following these standards, employers can help ensure their safety gear performs consistently, and workers are protected with comprehensive fall prevention and arrest systems.
