Here are a few things you should know about the quality of your fall protection harnesses.

1. Harnesses Offer Varying Features- Harnesses vary in features and options based on the needs of your work. Some harnesses, such as the Exofit STRATA, are designed to be extremely lightweight and easy to adjust for comfort.  Harnesses may include features designed for comfort and safety while climbing, such as a seat for work positioning or more back protection.  Certified Slings & Supply^® can fit you into a harness that will guarantee your personal safety on the job without sacrificing comfort.
