energy absorbing lanyards designed for 6 or 12 ft. free fall. Ensure complete
inspection and qualified person verification of fall protection system to meet needed
protection. The "Front" Connection or Belay is for "Suspenstion & Descent Control"
and "ladder access." The "Rear" structural loop and "Front" Belay loop are rated for
"Work Positioning" fall restraint. Harnesses belays are color coded to easily
distinguish sizing. This harness was designed for workers and customers at height in
need of a Dorsal "Fall Arrest" rated connection for leap applications or if able to fall
