A full-body harness only arrests a fall when it is donned correctly and fitted snug. This guide walks through every step - inspection, untangling, shoulder straps, chest and leg buckles, and dorsal D-ring placement - then covers the fingers-flat fit check and what OSHA 1926.502, 1910.140, and ANSI Z359 require before you tie off.

Tie off without enough room below you and the system stops you only after you have already hit the ground. This guide shows how to calculate fall clearance step by step - free fall, deceleration, worker height, D-ring shift, and safety factor - with worked numbers for a shock-absorbing lanyard versus an SRL under OSHA 1926.502.
