Harness Lanyard
Safety Harness- Use it or lose it!
Safety harnesses can save lives and reduce the risk of serious injury but there is one small little detail that many folks seem to dismiss for whatever reason.
Safety harnesses only save if you use them!
Amazing isn't it? With all the fall protection equipment we have available to us, still many people are not protecting themselves from serious injury or death from working with heights, at work, whether at home on the roof, putting up lights, or even at play.
Here is a sobering thought for you.
• Non-Intentional falling is the number one cause of injury:
In 2009 According to the National Center for Injury Prevention Non-Intentional falls were the number one source of non-fatal injuries for 2009 with over 8,765,597 injuries ranging in all categories. While not of these statistics are due to heights, with over 8 million reported cases, you can be sure that many were.
Not sobering enough for you?
Here is a tidbit of information for my friends in the construction industry.
• In 2009 nearly 50% of FATAL injuries happened on construction sites.
Did that wake you up? I hope so, because last time I checked, life was just too precious to be cut short by something that can be avoided. Of course nothing short of locking yourself in a room with food and water can guarantee you total and complete safety, nor I would recommend it as that sounds very boring and what kind of a life is that anyways?
You can protect yourself from death or serious injury by using a safety harness
Now that we have established that you are indeed wise in wanting to take care of your health let's talk about what you need to do. Ready to take the next step?
Know what you need to stay safe:
It is important to use several key components in conjunction with each other to provide the maximum protection from injury or death in event of a fall. By using the equipment listed below, you are well on y our way to creating your own customized fall arrest protection system. Two of the main categories for personal fall protection are as follows:
• Fall Arrest-Should be used at a minimum of four feet in height or more.
• Suspension- Used mainly for window washing or painting. Allows for hands free work.
These systems generally consist the following:
• Full body safety harness
• Connecting device / lanyard or fall lifeline
• Anchorage connector otherwise known as a tie-off point
Safety harnesses, (full body harness) come in a variety of styles with options for ease of use, connection points, D-ring options, comfort, personal fit and buckle types.
Connecting devices, such as a lanyard connects to the safety harness, which in turn is connected to the anchorage or "tie-off" point. There are many things to take into account in determining what type and length of lanyard should be used depending on how much fall clearance you have.
A wide variety of full body safety harnesses are available for work and recreational use as well as home use. There are safety harnesses used mainly for construction, for window washing, Tree Climbing, Electrical work, Lineman, Oil rigging, roofing as well as general purpose just to name a few.
Keep yourself protected from injury or death in the event of a fall.
Know what is the right equipment for you. There are several different agencies that set safety harness guidelines and standards to ensure integrity in both the manufacturing of the product as well as overseeing safety on the work sites.
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has developed mandatory criteria for personal fall arrest systems as well as safety standards and criteria for safety harnesses. When buying a safety harness be sure and make sure that the manufacture is in compliance with these guidelines. A reputable business or manufacture should list that there products meet or exceeds the listed standards. Be sure to check if the product meets ANSI, CSA standards and is ISO certified.
Knowledge without action is a waste of time.
Remember that safety harnesses can save your, but the choice is up to you.

How much force is exerted on the ends of a horizontal cable when a vertical force is applied to the middle?
If a construction worker in a safety harness is attached to a horizontal lifeline and falls, he will apply a force to the center of that lifeline equal to mass times distance. Let's say he weighs 200 pounds and falls six feet before his fall is arrested by his safety lanyard. The downward force on the middle of the horizontal lifeline cable would be about 1200 pounds. How would you calculate the force that's transmitted to the anchor points at the two ends of the horizontal cable? OSHA demands that anchor points for fall protection be capable of sustaining a load of 5,000 pounds. Is there a mechanical advantage involved in the falling worker scenario that could rip the cable out of it's anchors?
The force pulling on the two ends would be 1200/2 or 600 lbs on each side. If he weighed 200lbs and fell 6 ft. Are you sure that every foot = 200lbs. of force ? Doesn't the weight double only after 9.8 m/s^2 ? Not every foot. Since you prefer Imperial Units over the standard International Metric System. I'll give you that in Imperial. His weight should double every 32.15' feet. So, his weight would only be increased by 18.6 % if he were to fall only 6 feet. Think about it. If his weight invresed to 1200 lbs by falling onlt 6'. There'd be a crater every time a man weighing 200 lbs. fell to the ground from such a small hight. His weight should be only 237.32 lbs. Divide that by 2 =118.66 lbs. of force per cable
