When is it compulsory to wear a safety harness?
European legislation sets the height at which someone is required to use fall protection at 2.5 metres and/or when working less than 4 metres from the edge of a roof. However, if there are risk-increasing circumstances at heights below 2.5 metres, fall protection must also be used. Safety harnesses, -belts and -jackets are perfectly suited to being used for the protection of your employees. Van Gool offers a selection of safety harnesses from the brand MAS in various types and sizes. Feel free to take a look at our extensive range!
The fall harness
A fall harness has several straps around the chest, shoulders and legs. This ensures that in the event of a fall, the buttocks absorb most of the force instead of the back. The various straps can be fully adjusted to each user in every possible way. This makes the harness as comfortable and safe as possible for the user. In order to guarantee the greatest possible safety, it’s important that a harness belt is visually inspected and certified on an annual basis. In the unlikely even that a fall should occur, a fall harness needs to be checked again. Van Gool Hef- en Hijstechniek can assist you with this as well. Feel free to contact us to discuss all the possibilities!
