This category is populated with fall arrest harnesses; all of them manufactured to European standard EN361 and is used for fall arrest and restraint applications. All EN361 harnesses are suitable to be rescued from after a fall has occurred. EN361 fall arrest harnesses have an anchorage connection ‘D’ ring on the back of the harness between the shoulder blade and dependant on the customer requirement can also be fitted with a ‘D’ ring on the front of the harness; in the chest area. The anchorages are also used to rescue the casualty after a fall. These are the most popular type of fall arrest harness that we offer, they are used mainly in the construction industry and general industrial applications. EN361 fall arrest harnesses must be thoroughly examined and re certified by a competent person at periods no greater than 12 months. This is a maximum period; refer to the manufacturers operation and user manual for further detailed information.

We appreciate that the term 'General purpose' is very broad and covers a wide range, though basically the options in this category are mainly fall arrest safety harnesses that are suitable for people who are non-specialists working at height, not for example for rope access use. As well as for fall arrest, EN361 safety harnesses are suitable for restraint use, commonly used in mobile elevated working platforms (MEWPs, cherry picker or scissor lift platforms). They are also commonly used by scaffolders, construction workers, on wind turbines and in the telecommunications industry or for general industrial working at height applications.
