Fall Arrest Equipment

Fall arrest equipment is designed to stop the user mid-fall before they hit the ground or a lower level. A typical fall arrest system includes a safety harness, a connecting device such as a shock-absorbing lanyard or retractable fall arrest block, and a secure anchor point. Each of these components plays a vital role in protecting the wearer and must be used correctly as part of a complete system.

When a fall occurs, the system works by absorbing and distributing the forces generated during the arrest. Shock-absorbing lanyards help to reduce the impact on the body, while retractable fall arrest blocks lock automatically to minimise fall distance. The harness then spreads the forces across the body to reduce the risk of injury.

All of the fall arrest systems we offer here at Safety Harness Direct are sourced from trusted manufacturers who take care to safety-test their equipment properly. If you can't the specific piece of fall arrest equipment you need, please don't hesitate to drop us a line.
