Safety harness

A safety harness is a protective gear designed to secure a person when working at heights or in hazardous environments. It consists of straps that fit around the body, typically around the shoulders, chest, and legs, attached to a sturdy anchor point or lanyard. The harness distributes forces evenly across the body, reducing injury risk if a fall occurs. It allows workers to move freely while keeping them safely connected to a stable anchor, preventing falls or minimizing fall impact. Proper use of a safety harness is vital for ensuring safety while performing tasks in elevated or dangerous conditions.
