Wearing a Full Body Safety Harness can be difference between going home at night after work to your family or ending up in a hospital with a possible permanent injury, or even worse still never coming home again! While this is one of the main reasons why you should be wearing a safety harness there is also many others:
- It creates a secure connection between you and a stable anchor point, whether it be on a roof, Elevated Work Platform or Forklift Safety Cage to prevent an accidental trip or fall.
- Wearing a safety harness also protects those working around and below you. On a construction site, most of the time you have other people working below you that need the assurance that you aren’t going to come crashing down on them.
- They are required to be worn in all Australian States while working at heights of varying degrees, failing to do so may result in high penalties and legal cases……check out the safeworkaustralia.gov.au website for more information.
- Working at heights or in hazardous areas whilst wearing a safety harness gives you greater confidence to perform your required tasks without having to worry about falling and injuring yourself, it lets you concentrate on the tasks at hand.
