Body Harness This part of your fall protection system receives the most complaints; such as “It’s uncomfortable”, “It’s too heavy”, “It’s too big/small”. New body harnesses not only fit well, but are lighter and more comfortable than ever before. Body harnesses are now built to specific sizes, including models for women. |

| Connections Lanyard- This device connects your body harness to the rope grab. Shock absorbing lanyards help to ease the body’s impact in the event of a fall. |

Rope Grab This mechanical device locks onto the lifeline and serves as your “parking brake”. Most models use a cam-type lock. Several models have fail-safe locks that allow the grab to engage the lifeline even if the user holds the cam open. |

| Lifeline 5/8” Poly-Dac is the industry standard in the tri-state area. Poly-Dac has dynamic properties well suited for arresting a fall. With a breaking strength over 5,000 lbs, along with great UV and abrasion resistance, this is the lifeline you want. |
