DBI-Sala ExoFit XP Wind Energy harness

The DBI-Sala ExoFit XP Wind Energy harness features a replaceable dorsal webbing protector and lumbar shell to prevent wear from this repetitive motion, extra built-in tool/gear loops to hang equipment, quick-connect buckles, front D-ring for ladder climbing or rescue, side D-rings for positioning, dorsal D-ring for fall arrest and suspension trauma straps so that, in the event of a fall, the suspended worker simply connects the straps and steps into them to relieve pressure and improve circulation in the legs while suspended.

Workers on wind turbines often need to climb a fixed ladder within the tower to reach the nacelle, which may be up to 80 m from the ground. Workers may find themselves pressed against the opposite side of the turbine or leaning back against it for relief. This repetitive motion causes stress on harnesses causing components on them to wear out prematurely.

DBI-Sala’s i-Safe intelligent safety system is built into the harnesses to track inspections, control inventory and manage information, utilising RFID technology and web-enabled information management.
