BACK D-RING: The fall arrest point must be located on the back, positioned between the shoulder blades. No matter what additional anchor points are included on a harness, it must always include the dorsal attachment.

WEBBING: Webbing is an important factor in the durability and safety of the harness. Webbing must be strong enough to endure rough use and exposure to sunlight and other elements without tearing or fraying, yet at the same time stay soft and be comfortable. Kevlar® and Nomex® webbing is used for specialty applications such as welding that requires fire, heat and flame resistance.

ADJUSTING POINTS: Whether you wear a harness for two or fourteen hours, it needs to fit right for safety and comfort. Harnesses with adjusting points on the legs, waist, chest and shoulders allow for a proper fit.

LEG STRAPS: Depending on worker preference, leg strap fasteners may be available in different styles, including:

• Tongue buckle
• Parachute buckle
• Pass thru buckle
• Quick connect buckle

PELVIC SUPPORT: An added sub-pelvic strap provides additional support, security and comfort for the user. Properly positioned, it better distributes forces during a fall.

LABELS: DBI-SALA harnesses feature labels that put product and inspection information at the workers’ fingertips. Information may include: sizing, operating instructions, inspection log, warning labels and compliance information. The DBI-SALA labels and information contained, promote inspection, compliance and safety.

STITCHING: Double box stitching provides maximum strength and durability. Sewn-in quality you can trust.

NO-TANGLE DESIGN: Donning a harness incorrectly can mean the equipment may not work properly. The patented Delta™ Pad and Exofit™ exclusive

Wrap-Around X-Design make these harnesses easy to don and comfortable to wear with a wide spread over the shoulders to prevent irritating abrasion.

COLOR CODED SIZING: Color coded sizing allows users to quickly and easily choose the harness that will work best for their size.

ARC FLASH STANDARD: Arc flash harnesses are made from a material such as 7,000 lb. (31kN) nylon or Nomex®/Kevlar® to meet the requirements of utility work applications that require protection against static build-up. Options include non-conductive, non-sparking PVC Coated Hardware, Rescue Loops and Back Web Loops. Leather Insulators behind metal hardware reduce static energy transfer. DBI “Specialty” Harnesses are designed to comply with the ASTM F887-05 40 cal/cm2 arc flash standard.

PADDING
Cushioned shoulder, leg and hip pads keep the pressure off, providing extra worker comfort for long hours of wear. In a fall, padding absorbs shock and helps distribute your weight. They may be built-in to prevent slipping or made removable. Washable, removable padding promotes product longevity.

LINING
Exofit™ and Exofit™ XP harnesses feature breathable lining that wicks moisture away from your body so you’re always dry and comfortable. First designed for sport, recreation and work shoe linings, breathable 3-D Mesh Lining is rugged and resistant to odor and mildew.

IMPACT INDICATOR
Some harnesses include impact indicators to give immediate notice that the harness has been in a fall. Impact Indicators promote safety and inspection.
