Harnesses – Full-body harnesses approved for reliable fall protection
Full-body harnesses are a central component of personal protective equipment against falls (PPE). As fall arrest harnesses, they distribute forces evenly across the shoulders, chest, pelvis, and thighs in an emergency, keeping the secured person in an upright position. At the same time, they provide sufficient freedom of movement so that work at fall edges, on roofs, or in shafts can be carried out safely and efficiently. At Technigro, you will find full-body harnesses approved according to EN 361, which form a complete fall arrest system when combined with suitable lanyards and anchor points. It is crucial that every element in the system is coordinated – from the harness to the point at which it is anchored.

What distinguishes high-quality suspenders?
A good safety harness combines safety with wearing comfort so that it is consistently worn even during long shifts:
- Certified safety: Full-body harnesses with EN 361 approval and CE marking as Category III PPE
- Adjustable strap routing: Shoulder and leg straps can be individually adjusted to ensure a secure fit
- Quick to put on: Practical fasteners allow for quick putting on and taking off
- High durability: Robust webbing and fittings for daily use in construction, industry, and trade
- Compatibility: Suitable for connection with retractable fall arresters, guided-type fall arresters, and lanyards with energy absorbers – for a fully certified system
This way, you get a harness that provides reliable protection without unnecessarily hindering your work.
How to properly attach harness straps
A harness only provides protection if it is put on correctly and properly connected to the fall arrest system. A key point here is the choice of attachment point: harness straps should only be fastened using the designated fall arrest attachment points marked with an "A", which are located on the back or chest depending on the model. Connection to the anchor point is made via a certified lanyard or a retractable fall arrester. The anchor point must have sufficient load-bearing capacity and should ideally be located above the person being secured. Before each use, the fit, buckles, and webbing must be checked – only then is the system ready for use.
Schroth harness belts with ASM technology
For decades, the name Schroth has stood for restraint systems in the automotive industry, motorsport, and aviation. Schroth belts are primarily known for their ASM technology. ASM stands for "Anti-Submarining" and prevents a belted person from sliding under the lap belt in the event of an impact. Schroth harness belts with ASM are thus designed for installation in vehicle seats and require specific approval for road use, such as a parts certificate. Conversely, different requirements apply to work at heights: here, full-body harnesses according to EN 361 are mandatory. Anyone looking for Schroth belts or models with ASM should therefore pay close attention to the intended use and the specified standard on the product page.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about suspender straps
What type of certification is required for harness belts used for fall protection?
What type of certification is required for harness belts used for fall protection?
Harnesses for fall protection must comply with the EN 361 standard for full-body harnesses and be CE-marked as Category III personal protective equipment in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/425. When purchasing, ensure you look for this marking on the harness and in the user instructions.
Are harness straps permitted, or is a full-body harness mandatory?
Are harness straps permitted, or is a full-body harness mandatory?
In occupational safety, harness belts are permitted if they are approved as a full-body harness according to EN 361. Simple work positioning belts according to EN 358, however, are only intended for positioning and must not be used to arrest a fall. The risk assessment determines which equipment is required.
How do I properly attach a suspender strap?
How do I properly attach a suspender strap?
Put on the harness so that the shoulder and leg straps fit snugly without constricting, and the dorsal attachment point is positioned between the shoulder blades. Connect the lanyard or fall arrester exclusively to an attachment point marked as a fall arrest point and secure it to a suitable anchor point. Important: This point must be designed to withstand the forces that occur in the event of a fall.
Is it possible to install racing harnesses, for example in a vehicle?
Is it possible to install racing harnesses, for example in a vehicle?
The MAS full-body harnesses in this category are intended to be worn on the body and are not designed for installation in vehicles. Separate regulations and approvals in accordance with the StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations) apply to vehicle restraint harnesses, such as Schroth harnesses with ASM. For fall protection, full-body harnesses are not installed, but rather integrated into a safety system using lanyards.
How often must harness straps be inspected?
How often must harness straps be inspected?
A visual inspection by the user is required before each use. In addition, the harness must be inspected by a competent person in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, but at least once a year. Harnesses that have been subjected to a fall or show signs of damage must be withdrawn from service immediately. This is the only way to ensure the entire system remains reliable.
What additional points must be considered when using harness belts?
What additional points must be considered when using harness belts?
Before using PPE against falls, employees must receive instruction with practical exercises. Another important point is the rescue concept, as a person hanging in a harness must be rescued quickly to avoid health consequences from prolonged suspension.
