Reliance Fall Protection

The best just got better!

Reliance's newly updated Ironman™ Lite harness now features a wider-spread backing guide to provide more space around the head and neck to more naturally contour the webbing around the shoulders.

That same backing guide also provides a dedicated loop that lifts the D-ring and webbing, allowing for easier SRL attachment, perfectly pairing with our class-leading Microloc SRL.

Top that off with new stylish black anodized aluminum rings and you have a harness built for lightweight comfort, ease of use, and longevity. These changes will apply to all new Ironman™ Lite harnesses moving forward across all models.

With Quick-Adjust™ torso buckles and chest buckles, "floating" thigh stitching, front-of-the-thigh buckle placement, an extra large back pad which eliminates dangerous "D-ring droop", TattleTale® webbing rated for 7000 lbs, & more; Reliance Ironman™ Lite goes beyond utility and maximizes usability and comfort for peak productivity.

BLS data reports that In 2022 there were 395 fatal falls from elevation in the construction industry, accounting for over a third of all 1069 total deaths.

This week is the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls In Construction, a reminder that the time it takes to get your crew together for proper safety training is not just worth it, it’s priceless, and should be a year-round practice.

Proper and appropriate fall protection gear must be provided and workers must be properly trained on how to use it. Further measures must be taken to ensure worker fatigue, dehydration, or lowered mental awareness do not hinder motor skills to prevent slips, trips, and falls. Type 2 helmets must also be worn where falls from height are possible and all the best practices must be propagated and made practical throughout the worksite so workers know them and avoid cutting corners for the sake of time, comfort, or oversight.

Gravity doesn’t care whether you’re tied off or not, or what hard hat you’re wearing, or that you didn’t have enough electrolytes that morning, or that you tied off at the foot level instead of overhead and swung into a beam. Every fall is preventable.

15 - 30 minutes could save lives.

Every year falls rank as one of the leading causes of death in construction. When it's not a fatality, it often leads to injuries that can leave workers temporarily or permanently disabled.

Regular reminders to spot fall hazards and train workers in best practices are essential to preventing accidents. To that end; OSHA is providing initiatives and resources for the National Safety Stand Down to Prevent Workplace Falls, which begins May 1st-5th.

Anyone in any workplace can participate, and supervisors and safety personnel are encouraged to have their workers stand-down to communicate and refresh worker's knowledge of fall hazards, encourage proper use of PPE, and warn them of the dangers posed by distraction and carelessness on the job.
