• Immediate connection with shoulder-worn equipment: The dorsal attachment moved upwards allows the operator to connect to fall arrest systems without physical interference, even when wearing heavy backpacks or oxygen tanks.
• Accelerated donning and thermal comfort: The new ergonomic and breathable rear padding maintains the shape of the PPE preventing the webbing from twisting and reduces sweat accumulation during effort.
• Instant visual identification of the sternal point: The fluo yellow coloring of the two large front rings allows for rapid identification of the attachment even in dark environments or during frantic rescue operations.
• Integrated emergency handling: The structural strength of the two front rings allows them to be used directly as grip handles to safely guide or move the operator’s body.
• Immediate operational setup and smooth adjustment: The combination of the chest closure buckle and the quick-release buckles on the leg loops reduces anthropometric adjustment times, ensuring a perfect fit in moments.
• Lightweight use on different physiques: With a reduced weight between 850 g and 950 g depending on the chosen size, it reduces the static load on the user’s shoulders during long shifts.

This work and rescue harness finds its optimal application in the execution of industrial and emergency activities managed by maintenance technicians, lifeline installers, confined space operators, firefighters and technical or speleological rescue teams. Thanks to the configuration of the raised dorsal attachment and the HT polyester webbing, it is the ideal tool for interventions on pylons, high-altitude evacuation activities, industrial maintenance with shoulder-worn breathing apparatus and restraint maneuvers where the range of sizes (from S to XL) guarantees geometric stability according to EN 361 for various body types.

The h1046_11 model is the correct choice when work at height requires the simultaneous use of equipment carried on the shoulders and a PPE certified for heavy loads up to 150 kg. It proves to be far preferable to traditional fall arrest harnesses with a low barycentric dorsal ring, as the raised geometry of the anchorage and the ergonomics of the rear padding prevent painful squeezing and prevent the backpack from obstructing the attachment point. Choosing this PPE entirely made in Italy means adopting a lightweight system (maximum 950 g) and high visibility, calibrated to the precise biometric parameters of waist and leg loops described.

How does the dorsal attachment of this harness differ from that of a standard model for work at height?

In standard harnesses, the dorsal fall arrest ring is positioned centrally between the shoulder blades; if the operator wears a tool backpack, a recovery rope, or an oxygen tank for respirators, the anchorage is covered and becomes inaccessible, also causing heavy pressure on the back. The h1046_11 model solves this operational problem by moving the dorsal attachment upwards: in this way the connection point always remains free and easily accessible above the load carried on the shoulder, without interfering with the equipment.

Which standards does this Italian PPE meet and for what body weight limits is it legally approved?

The harness is a Category III Personal Protective Equipment entirely designed and manufactured in Italy, compliant with the EN 361 European standard relating to fall arrest harnesses, as specified in the technical findings of the file image_7e09a5.png. From a performance standpoint, the HT polyester structure has undergone severe dynamic and static tests certifying its safe use for operators with a total weight (including clothing and equipment) of up to 150 kg, exceeding the traditional standard limits of 100 kg.

How do the fluo yellow front rings work and what operational functions do they perform in addition to fall arrest?

The front sternal attachment point is split and made with two large fluo yellow webbing rings to facilitate immediate visual identification even in low light conditions. In addition to acting as a fall arrest anchorage according to EN 361 once connected together, their width and structural strength allow rescue personnel or colleagues to use them as actual grip handles for guided movement and positioning of the operator in case of evacuation or movement difficulties.
