Capital Safety has added the DBI-SALA ExoFit STRATA harness to its line of fall protection solutions.

The company claims the harness is the first full body safety harness designed and tested with data-driven, third-party research, made possible through a partnership with ergonomics specialists from the Sweere Center for Clinical Biomechanics and Applied Ergonomics at Northwestern Health Sciences University. The research, which looked at key worker complaints while wearing a harness, such as the load on the back and shoulders, limited range of motion and increased body temperature, resulted in the development of a harness that is comfortable, cool and light to wear.

The harness features a LIFTech Load Distribution System, which takes the weight off a worker’s shoulders and redistributes it down to the hips, reducing forces on the shoulders up to 85%. PolarMesh padding also keeps users’ backs cooler with greater airflow.

Revolver Vertical Torso Adjusters and Duo-Lock Quick Connect Buckles offer added security and help workers adjust their harness to a suitable fit. An EZ-Link Quick SRL Adapter also allows workers to attach their personal self-retracting lifeline (SRL), such as the DBI-SALA Nano-Lok SRL, reducing the time it takes to connect and disconnect by up to 80%. Tech-Lite aluminium D-rings also provide increased security and reliability without adding significant weight to the harness.
