Asafety harnessis a form ofprotective equipmentdesigned to protect a person, animal, or object frominjuryor damage. The harness is an attachment between a stationary and non-stationary object and is usually fabricated fromrope,cableorwebbingand locking hardware.^[1]Some safety harnesses are used in combination with ashock absorber, which is used to regulatedecelerationwhen the end of the rope is reached. One example would bebungee jumping.Safety Harness for protection against falls from heights in industrial and construction activities are covered by design performance standards issued by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) in the United States and by CSA (Canadian Standards Association) in Canada.that employers provide fall protection for construction workers on a walking or working surface with an unprotected edge that is 6 feet or more above a lower level. Fall protection approved by OSHA includes guardrails, safety net systems, and personal fall arrest systems (i.e. safety harnesses). Employers are permitted to use any or all of the three prescribed fall protection systems in most instances, not specifically safety harnesses as Gilbane recommends.

The rule covers a number of areas and activities where fall protection is required and the fall protection systems allowed. For example, protecting workers from falls into holes, such as skylights, another acceptable means of fall protection is installing a cover over the opening. When working on the face of reinforcing steel or formwork above 6 feet, employees can use a personal fall arrest system, safety net, or positioning device system.
