Why Safety Harnesses Are Essential PPE
Over the last several weeks, we've covered several types of essential personal protective equipment (PPE). So far, we've covered footwear, gloves, eyewear, ear protection, and hard hats - and today, we're talking about the importance of wearing safety harnesses.
Even though this podcast speaks to warehouse and factory-type settings - any facility where harnesses or other PPE could assist staff in remaining safe is applicable.
Safety harnesses can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities resulting from falls.

Why Safety Harnesses Are Essential PPE
Over the last several weeks, we've covered several types of essential personal protective equipment (PPE). So far, we've covered footwear, gloves, eyewear, ear protection, and hard hats - and today, we're talking about the importance of wearing safety harnesses.
Even though this podcast speaks to warehouse and factory-type settings - any facility where harnesses or other PPE could assist staff in remaining safe is applicable.
Safety harnesses can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities resulting from falls.
Here are just a few examples of when safety harnesses should be required:
- Working on elevated platforms or scaffolding
- Climbing ladders or towers
- Working near open edges or roofs
- Operating cranes or other heavy machinery at a height
- Conducting repairs or maintenance on tall structures or equipment
- Performing tasks on rooftops, such as installing or repairing HVAC systems
- Working in mining or construction environments
- Performing window washing or building cleaning tasks at a height
- Working in telecommunications or utility industries, such as installing or fixing power lines
- Performing tree trimming or arborist work at height.
These harnesses can differentiate life and death for workers who regularly work at height.
Safety harnesses are often required by law and vital to workplace safety regulations. Failure to provide safety harnesses or to enforce their use can result in significant legal and financial consequences for employers.
It's yet another layer of PPE that helps ensure your facility and staff stay accident-free - and that's precisely why we talk about it.
