How to select a full-body harness

What makes one worker wear the proper fall protection equipment and use it in the correct manner while another doesn't? On one hand, workers must receive the proper training on adjusting, inspecting, and maintaining the equipment. On the other hand, no matter how thorough the training, workers might leave the equipment behind if it isn't comfortable. "Our workers like a comfortable harness," said Jim Owen, director of construction safety, operations at Dick Corp. "They'll wear a harness if it's comfortable." Owen and other safety directors agree, a harness, or any fall protection equipment that's difficult to don and hard to adjust, won't be used.
