Fall Protection Solutions

Fall Protection systems can save your life. Know how to select the right safety harnesses, body belts, D-rings, lanyards, carabiners, lifelines, and bolt bags to protect yourself or your co-workers.

“Employers shall provide and install all fall protection systems …”

The U.S. Department of Labor Safety and Health Regulations show how important fall arrest systems are, to your company and to you personally. But selecting the the right tool for the right job isn't always easy. There are different safety systems designed to protect you and your co-workers in different circumstances.

Personal Fall Protection Systems

TESSCO takes the guesswork out of making a choice. TESSCO handles a full line of personal fall protection systems for tower construction, ladder climbing, and maintenance including vest-style and full-body safety harnesses, from 1- to 6-ring designs.

Harness Systems

All harnesses are designed to save your life, but while all straps within a harness, tower or otherwise, are designed to meet ANSI-specs (that means they can suspend a 5,000-pound pick-up truck in the air!), the primary difference is comfort. Comfort in the shoulder, upper thigh and seat areas, adjustability of the legs, and degree of padding in the shoulders, waist-tool belt and saddle. These questions can help you select the best option:

How many tools or buckets can you attach to the belt to maximize your efficiency?
Do you want a built-in tool belt or floating tool belt?
Do you want a built-in or adjustable chest-strap restrictor?
Do you want a twin-leg lanyard?
Do you want heavy or light padding in the shoulders? Legs?
Do you want a built-in shock absorber?
Are you looking for a fall arrest and positioning, construction, or tower harness?

Use manufacture sizing charts and TESSCO's powerful product comparison feature to find the best safety solution for you.

Tower Site Safety Essentials

for Meeting OSHA Requirements

The tower climbers' mantra to "tie or die" is a grim reminder that working on high communications equipment is the most dangerous job in America* (PDF). Meet OSHA regulations and protect yourself with approved safety equipment while in the air.
