What to wear, head to toe
Each piece names the standard it has to carry. Products that don’t carry it are left out, even when the name sounds right.

Two mistakes we see often
Not for falls
A waist belt does not stop a fall
Work positioning belts (EN 358) hold you against a pole or wall. In a fall they can break your back. Use an EN 361 harness.
Too short a fall
A lanyard needs room to work
A 2 m lanyard with an absorber needs around 6 m of clear height below the anchor. Lower down, use a retractable fall arrester.

Questions
From what height do I need a harness?
Wherever a fall could injure you and no guard rail or platform prevents it. Many site rules set 2 m; follow your site’s safety plan.
How long does a harness last?
Check it before every use and have it inspected by a competent person regularly. Take it out of use after any fall, or if the webbing is cut, burnt or stiff.
Does a harness come with a lanyard?
Some do and some do not. The product page says what is in the box.
This page helps you choose equipment. It is not a risk assessment. Follow your site’s safety plan and a competent person’s assessment.
