Harness Comparison
Other Harnesses                        Safety Harness
Use 1950s technology	Latest state of the art technology patented in 1996.
All other system's created only to keep you from falling to your death.	The Safety Harness not only does this but was also created to reduce and/or eliminate injuries in the event of a fall.
All other system's are comprised of at least three different components to make a complete harness, including the anchorage/ anchorage connector, body wear, and, connecting device (lanyard).  These are all priced separately	The Safety Harness is an integral unit comprised of the shock absorber, the lanyard and the body wear. This portion of the harness has one price
Harnesses are attached to the lanyard at the D-Ring in the middle of the back or one single point.	The safety harness reduces the shock on the body by use of the  A three point system
When a fall occurs the worker's body is in a slumped over position allowing the worker to strike objects in retrieval situations	The safety harness keeps you upright in the event of a fall and in retrieval situations
The back D-ring catches you in the middle of the back causing a slamming effect into the structure tied off to.	The safety harness virtually eliminates slamming which is cause of 80% of critical and serious injury in a fall event
When using an elongation deceleration device (EDD), to remain in federal compliance you must wrap 3-1/2 feet or more of their lanyard around the structure to keep you within the six foot fall distance, leaving you almost no working distance	You can use the full length of our lanyard, which is five feet, and still remain in federal compliance and the worker still has room to perform his work duties.
Their harness has a one size fits all tear away or shock absorber	The Safety Harness is calibrated for four different weight classes
Using the old style of harness and shock absorber, the accident statistics for 2000 are 303,817 nonfatal injuries for an average of 832 injuries per day just in the U.S.	With this system, in the last seven years, there have been no accident/injury reports and no deaths in the worst adverse weather conditions in the world, such as Alaska, Russia, the North Sea and New Zealand
No testing provided for cold weather conditions.	In 1993 cold weather testing was conducted  in Prudoe Bay, Alaska.  The Canadians followed some years later and this is now part of the Canadian standard.
Although all harness manufacturers state that they are the best, they are unable to meet the minimum mandatory OSHA testing requirements so therefore go by the ANSI standards which are Non-mandatory	Meets and exceeds the latest Federal OSHA testing requirements. Approved by Underwriters Laboratory.
