Pure Safety Group (PSG), the largest company dedicated solely to fall protection, recently unveiled two new products to complete its Series lineup of three Guardian Fall Protection safety harnesses. Potential applications include any jobsite where the safety of workers at height is of primary importance.
All harnesses meet U.S. Occupational and Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, exceed American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, and are pending CSA Group certification.
Full-Body Fall Protection
The Series 3 and Series 5 full-body fall protection harnesses are used for personal fall arrest, work positioning, restraint, and rescue/confined space applications. Both feature a captivated chest strap that prevents improper adjustment and accidental slippage, rubber web ends that fold over and protect the harnesses against damage, and dual lanyard keepers for safe storage of unused lanyard legs.
Both have a loop for easily connecting to a dual self-retracting lifeline (SRL) connector, which frees up the D-ring for other attachments. They also include an optional heavy-duty waist pad and belt to accommodate tools. Capacity for the harnesses is 130-420 lb (59.0 to 190.5 kg)
Unique Series Benefits
The torso on the Series 3 can be easily adjusted in seconds, and its snap-on shoulder padding adds comfort for users while they work. The Velcro-covered label maintains its legibility, and impact indicators alert users if a fall has occurred while the harness has been worn.
Meanwhile, the Series 5 offers more comfort with a cam buckle torso for advanced adjustments, leg padding, durable upgraded shoulder pads, and an ergonomic waist pad. It has a retractable label cover and rubber impact indicators for load indication. The Series 5 harness also features trauma relief straps that reduce the effects of suspension trauma in the event of a fall.
The Series 1 harness, for everyday fall protection situations, was unveiled in January 2019. The harnesses in the Guardian S series are customizable and assembled in the United States.
