SafetyBucket

This Safewaze fall protection kit packages the basics for working from an aerial lift or other elevated platform at an economy price. It is a sensible way to outfit a new crew member or keep spare sets on the truck.

What a kit is good for

Buying a matched harness and lanyard together means the pieces are designed to work together and you are not guessing at compatibility. For companies adding bucket trucks or lifts, or putting new hires in the bucket, an economy kit gets everyone properly equipped without a long shopping list.

Check the kit contents and the lanyard type in the listing, and make sure they suit how your crew uses lifts.

Because the price is lower, there is less temptation to keep using a harness that should have been retired. Replace worn gear rather than stretching it.

Keep a written log of each kit's inspections.

Fit, inspection and training

A harness only works when it fits. Adjust leg straps and chest strap snug, with the back D-ring between the shoulder blades. Inspect webbing, stitching, buckles, D-rings and the lanyard before every use, and retire anything that has arrested a fall or shows damage.

Fall protection must meet the applicable standard, be used per the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133 where it applies, and be used by trained workers. Compare options in fall arrest for aerial lifts.

Label each kit and assign it to one worker when you can, so fit adjustments stay set and inspections are easy to track.
