100+ products

Expected delivery: Tue, Nov 17

Fall protection equipment for roofers, ironworkers, maintenance crews and anyone working at height. This section includes full-body harnesses, shock-absorbing and positioning lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, anchorage connectors, and tool lanyards and tethers that help keep dropped objects off the people below.

Fall protection is life-safety equipment. Selection, anchorage, rescue planning and inspection must follow the manufacturer's instructions, OSHA requirements and your site's fall protection plan, under the direction of a competent or qualified person. We can help you source what that person specifies, but we do not give capacity, clearance or system design advice.

What to check before you order

  • The plan comes first. Order the components your fall protection plan calls for, and confirm they are compatible with each other per the manufacturer.
  • Fit and size. Harnesses come in several sizes. A competent person should check fit before use.
  • Labels and instructions. Make sure each item is labeled and comes with its instructions, and keep them with the equipment.
  • Inspection. Inspect before each use as the manufacturer directs. Remove any item from service after a fall or if damage is found.
  • Training. Workers need training on the specific equipment before they use it.

Common questions

How often does a fall protection harness need to be inspected?

OSHA requires inspection before each use, and many manufacturers also call for periodic inspection by a competent person. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your site's fall protection plan for the schedule.

What is the difference between a shock-absorbing lanyard and a self-retracting lifeline?

A shock-absorbing lanyard is a fixed-length connector with an energy absorber. A self-retracting lifeline pays out and retracts with movement and locks in a fall. A competent person chooses between them using the manufacturer's instructions.
