Safety harness kits are essential for both practical and legal reasons. The kits come in a number of different kinds and so are used for different jobs and so cater for jobs that involve varying amounts of time spent at a height.

Safety harnesses generally incorporate a harness, rope and hooks to attach it all on to, as well as usually a rucksack for easy transportation. Restraint kits are the most basic of these sorts of kits. Restraint kits are among the more casual forms of harness kits and are not to be used for fall arrest. This form of harness is more suited for irregular trips to a height, which you need a basic harness for. For more regular climbing or working from a height, there are a number of more suitable options, such as those below. The standard harness kit comes with a single point harness, two shock absorbing ropes and screw snap hooks to ensure you are linked safely to an object to keep you steady. This kit is perfect for those who work from a height quite regularly and need some form of safety mechanism to bear their weight in case of a slip or fall. For those that are more inclined to work professionally on a full time basis from a height, such as scaffolders – the aptly titled scaffolder’s kit is probably more ideal. This kit includes everything the standard harness includes but also has a scaffold gate snap hook to link you to the scaffold. Construction kits generally have two point safety harnesses, to increase weight bearing properties and also include an anchor sling, as well as either or both arrest blocks or retractor snap hooks to break a fall, should it occur. These kits are used for those working at a height on a regular basis and offer a strong and safe hold. Crane maintenance kits are stronger again and are ideal for those who work at daunting heights. These kits have two point harnesses, sturdy kermantle ropes which offer great weight bearing properties. These also come with two scaffold hooks and two shock absorbing ropes, for more safety than many other kits. Roofer’s kits also offer an extremely high safety option for users. Coming with kermantle ropes, a rope grab, anchor slings for safety and all of the other safety parts that make a kit, these kits are extremely strong and reliable and offer unparallel safety for those working from a height. Work positioning kits allow users to stay safely in one position and include a four point safety harness for this purpose. They also come with a snap hook and a retractor/ snap hook to ensure the person using them is kept in a safe position. The options on all of these harnesses and safety devices are variable and therefore allow safe use for a number of different jobs and kinds of work – their practicality and strength is their beauty.
