Hybrid rescue harness
Capital Safety’s DBI-SALA brand offers the ExoFit XP rescue harness that combines the comfort of the ExoFit XP fall-arrest system with the essential features needed for rope access, positioning and suspension. It is ideal for workers needing to do occasional rope rescue as well as performing rigging operations. Connection points on the harness at the waist and chest provide attachments for high and low rope rescue, while the 5" hip pad with tool rings provide convenient access to equipment while at heights. The sub-pelvic strap, seldom found on rope harnesses, absorbs forces if the worker falls. The vest style harness with removable padding prevents chafing and rubbing common with crossover styles of fall arrest harnesses. Its 3-D mesh lining wicks moisture away from the worker, improving comfort. Meets all applicable OSHA and ANSI Z359 standards.
