I SSAFE Fall Protection FAQ & Quick Buying Guide
Full Body Harness – Your Lifeline at Heights

How to Wear It Right
- Inspect – Look for damage or twisted straps.

- Chest Strap – Mid-chest, not choking.
- D-Ring – Between shoulder blades.
- Final Check – Should feel like a firm hug!
When to Replace? After a fall, damaged straps, or every 5 years (or sooner). Keep an inspection log!
