A harness spacer includes a base having a first outer slot, a second outer slot, and a central slot, wherein the first outer slot, the second outer slot, and the central slot form an H-shape, a first arched member extending from the base and creating a first opening, and a second arched member extending from the base and creating a second opening, wherein the base is composed of a pliable material.

According to aspects of the present disclosure, a harness comprises two limb loops created from a harness knot coupled to a lead via the two limb loops of the harness knot at a first end of the lead. The lead is a braided lead, and a single-bowline knot creates a single-bowline loop at a second end of the lead. Further, a removable fastener prevents the braided lead from unbraiding and is removably coupled to the lead in a final loop of the braided lead and removably coupled to the two limb loops of the harness knot. Moreover, the limb loops, lead, and single-bowline loop are made from an integral piece of rope. The braided lead does not unravel while the removable fastener is in place. However, when the removable fastener is removed, the braided lead may unravel to create a rescue rope with a harness.

A safety device comprising a support harness that includes at least one safety cable, and preferably a pair of safety cables. The end of the safety cable has a snap hook designed to releasably connect to the structure. In application, the safety harness is worn by the worker and as the worker ascends or descends the structure, the worker continuously releases and then connects one of the snap hooks to the structure such that at least one safety cable is connected to the structure at all times. The safety harness includes sensors for detecting whether the worker is ascending or descending the structure, for detecting whether at least one of the snap hooks are connected to the structure, and detecting when the worker is attempting to open the snap hook.

The present invention is directed to a sling climbing harness for use in industrial and recreational activities where the climbing harness is worn by a user to securely attach themself to a safety rope or other device. The climbing harness provides a waistbelt and/or leg loops each including one or more adjustable spliced sling loops. Each of the one or more sling loops is a cord having a first end formed into a fixed loop and a second end passing through the fixed loop and spliced into an adjustable loop to form an adjustable locking connection. The user can then adjust each sling loop individually for a custom fitment of the waistbelt or leg loops of the present invention.

Integrated fall-protection harnesses and exoskeletons are disclosed that include cooperating connectors to removably couple the exoskeletons to the harnesses. The exoskeletons may include an arm support including an arm rest for receiving an arm of the user and one or more compensation elements configured to apply an offset force to at least partially offset a gravitational force acting on the arm as the user moves and the arm support follows the movement of the user's arm. Alternatively, the exoskeletons may be permanently mounted to the harnesses.

A safety harness including first and second shoulder straps and a waist strap and a rigid dorsal force-transfer member with an upper end that is removably connected to the first and second shoulder straps at a dorsal crossing point of the first and second shoulder straps and with a lower end that is removably connected to a dorsal portion of the waist strap. Methods of removably equipping a safety harness with a rigid dorsal force-transfer member, and of removing a rigid dorsal force-transfer member from a safety harness.

A coat with an integrated drag harness. The harness is a single strip of material, such as a flat webbing or rope that extends through a slit in the center of the back of the coat torso below the neck opening. Inside the torso, the strip is a yoke that follows a path that runs from the slit, around one arm hole, across the slit, around the other arm hole, and ending at the slit. The yoke is secured to the torso by stitching. The strip extends a length outside of the slit to form a strap that is at least is four feet long. Optionally, the end of the strap has a handle. Optionally, the strap is stored in a pocket in the back of the torso.

A protective garment having a support harness conduit comprising a flexible transition duct and a flexible rope cover forming a sleeve vertically centered on the back of the garment, the transition duct being attached to both arm sections and the torso section of the garment, or attached to the back below the neck section extending to above the waist of the garment, the torso end of the transition duct having a width wider than the back of the garment; with the distal closure end of the rope cover having a closure device to close the conduit and reduce the interchange of fluids or particulates between the interior and the exterior of the garment; wherein the rope cover end of the transition duct has a width that is at least 30 percent the width of the back of the garment.

An outerwear garment for use with a fall-arrest harness devised to permit a fall-arrest harness to be worn underneath an outerwear garment body, such as a jacket, vest, or coat, between an aperture on a rear side thereof and a Dee-ring access flap covering the aperture. A plurality of fasteners disposed on each of the rear side adjacent the access flap and along the perimeter of the access flap permits the access flap to be automatically opened for access to the fall-arrest harness. Lanyard hook-receiving members disposed on a front side of the garment body also permit hanging of lanyard hooks thereon during periods of non-use.

A divider for a carabiner in a fall arrest system, the carabiner having a frame; and an openable gate and configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position, the divider comprising a body having: (i) a central body portion; and (ii) a plurality of connection portions extending from the central body portion and configured to attach the divider to at least a portion of the frame, wherein the plurality of connection portions are spaced and divide the carabiner into a plurality of areas for connection of the at least one component of the harness arrangement and the at least one fall arrest device.
