Strap safety belts

Strap belts
When working at height, it is necessary to use safety belts. This is a special means of protection that guarantees the worker protection from the risk of falling, allows to descend/ascend on vertical planes (for example, along the facade of the building) and move to the right/left.

Safety belts with straps have a wide scope of application:

They are used for any height work - roofing, painting, repair, wall insulation and window washing, in mountain and industrial mountaineering.
When working in narrow spaces and confined spaces - tunnels, pits, wells, where a person cannot safely descend by himself.
When evacuating people in emergency situations - during fires, collapses, explosions, when it is necessary to provide assistance to a person who cannot get out of a burning or collapsed building on his own due to trauma or loss of consciousness.
Lashing belts must also be used when descending into tanks and underground rooms, where there is a possibility of gas accumulation, so that colleagues can lift the worker if he loses consciousness due to lack of oxygen.

Construction of safety belts with straps
Safety harness belts are available with shoulder and leg straps, as well as with a belt that tightly hugs a person's figure in the chest or chest and waist area. The belts can be adjusted, thanks to which they are tightly fixed on the person's figure, without making it difficult for the person to move and allowing them to work comfortably. It is necessary to buy a safety belt taking into account the sizes, since the same protective equipment cannot be used by people of different complexions.

Safety belts are attached to the sling or halyard in one or two attachment points - on the back and on the chest. The fastening elements are located higher than the person's center of gravity, so that when stopping in the event of a fall, he hangs in a normal position, head up. Slings and halyards can be included with belts or purchased separately, their type depends on the type of work for which insurance is required.

If there is a danger of falling from a height, it is necessary to use a sling with a shock absorber or a safety device of the retracting type, which will protect the spine in the event of a sudden stop during a fall, together with a safety belt. For work in a high temperature regime - for example, when welding, it is necessary to use a fire-resistant belt, as well as purchase a metal cable, target or fire-resistant sling.
