Ergonomic harness systems for safe work at height

Choose the right harness system for safe and standard-compliant work at height:

• Standard-compliant fall arrest harness (EN 361): The essential foundation for any fall arrest system, designed to provide a secure hold in the event of a fall.
• Comfortable positioning harness (EN 358): Maintains a stable working position on masts or façades and secures the wearer to prevent slipping.
• Combination harnesses: All-in-one solutions that combine protection in an emergency with an ergonomic fit for long periods of work.

Frequently asked questions about fall arrest and positioning harnesses (FAQ):

Question: When is a standard fall arrest harness required, and when is a combined positioning harness advisable?
Answer: A standard fall arrest harness is always mandatory whenever there is a risk of a fall and the wearer must be safely caught in an emergency – for example, on aerial work platforms or on scaffolding. A combined harness with an integrated positioning function, on the other hand, is advisable when a worker needs to be secured to a structure (e.g. a mast or a ladder) whilst working at height, in order to maintain a secure hold and have both hands free for tools. This enhanced fall arrest system significantly improves both workplace safety and ergonomic comfort.
