Why Must Full Body Fall Arrest Harnesses Be Chosen for Fall Protection?

    Multiple Pressure Points for Safer Protection


    Traditional work positioning belts concentrate the impact force on the waist during a fall, which can easily cause internal injuries or even spinal fractures. Full body fall arrest harnesses distribute the impact force through shoulder straps, chest straps, and leg straps, covering the upper body and lower limbs. Take the HOATER HT-330Y as an example, the aluminum D-ring on the back and the textile ring on the chest form double fall connection points that comply with EN361 standards. This design evenly distributes the impact force to the torso and thighs, reducing the risk of single-point force. During high-altitude operations, the body may tilt or hang upside down, and this design prevents the harness from slipping off, ensuring a stable suspension of personnel.


    Quick Adjustment to Fit Different Body Types


    Traditional safety belts are cumbersome to adjust, and improper tightness can affect the protective effect. The full body fall arrest harness's 5 adjustable buckles and 4 aluminum quick-insert structures can quickly accommodate different body types. For instance, the HOATER HT-330Y's chest strap, waist strap, and leg straps use aluminum buckles, making it very quick to put on and take off. Workers can quickly adjust the strap length in emergency situations, avoiding secondary falls due to loose equipment. The EVA padding on the inside of the leg straps also reduces friction, making it less likely to chafe the skin during prolonged operations.


    Comfort Even While Hanging


    Standard safety belts can cause bruises on the waist when hanging, making it difficult for workers to hang on and wait for rescue. The shoulder, waist, and leg linings of the full body fall arrest harness are made of ultra-comfortable EVA material, combined with ventilation technology, greatly enhancing breathability. The HOATER HT-330Y's shoulder pad is moderately thick, distributes pressure, and accelerates perspiration. Additionally, there is no significant pressure on the shoulders while hanging, allowing the trapped person to maintain their strength and buy more time for rescue.


    Balancing Tool Carrying and Mobility


    High-altitude operations often require carrying wrenches, screwdrivers, and other tools. The full body fall arrest harness has polyester tool rings on both sides of the waist, each ring can bear 2 kilograms, with a total load capacity of up to 6 kilograms. The HOATER HT-330Y's 3 tool rings are designed to be non-slip, making it hard for tools to fall out. The aluminum D-ring on the side complies with EN358 standards; by connecting a work positioning rope, workers can move freely within a certain range, keeping their hands free to work.


    From force design to detailed experience, HOATER's full body fall arrest harness is optimized for high-altitude scenarios. The dual certification of EN361+EN358 ensures compliance, and the ventilated padding and quick buckles enhance operational efficiency. Whether it's wind turbine maintenance or steel structure installation, this equipment can meet both safety and practicality needs.
