PPE – Harnesses & Lanyards.

Safety harnesses and lanyards are the most widely used forms of personal protective equipment (PPE) for working at height. At FallArrest.com we provide clear, independent guidance on selecting appropriate PPE for different fall-protection scenarios, and our partner site Harnesses.com supplies a full range of certified equipment.

Types of PPE for Working at Height.

Our partner, Harnesses.com, supplies a wide range of height-safety PPE including:

  • Safety Harnesses (EN 361)
  • Energy-Absorbing Lanyards (EN 355)
  • Rope Lines & Rope Grabs
  • Adjustable Lanyards / Work Positioning Lanyards (EN 358)
  • Karabiners and Connectors
  • Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) (EN 360)
  • PRD Units (Personal Rescue Devices)
  • Hard Hats for Work at Height

All equipment is designed to help protect users from falls or to prevent them reaching a fall hazard in the first place.

Legal Requirements.

Under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, employers must ensure that suitable PPE is:

  • provided to employees
  • maintained and inspected
  • used correctly
  • accompanied by appropriate training

Full body harnesses must be CE-marked and compliant with EN 361:1992.

Hierarchy of Fall Protection.

When working at height, PPE should be considered only after collective or preventative measures have been deemed impractical.

1. Collective Protection (Preferred)

Examples:

  • guardrails
  • handrail systems
  • walkways

These protect everyone and require no user training.

2. Fall Restraint

Limits the user’s movement so they cannot reach a fall hazard.

3. Fall Arrest (Last Resort)

Allows a fall to occur but safely arrests it using:

  • harness
  • lanyard or SRL
  • certified anchor point

While effective, fall arrest requires proper planning, training, and rescue capability—factors that may not always be feasible because of space, structure limitations or project constraints.
