Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fall arrest harness for persons working at height, and in particular a fall arrest harness for reducing the risk of suspension trauma.
  • a typical fall arrest harness includes leg straps arranged to encircle the wearer's thighs, and a pair of shoulder straps extending over the wearer's shoulders, and a lanyard connection member, usually in the form of a D-ring, for connecting the harness to a lanyard.
  • the lanyard connection member is usually provided in a dorsal position, on the wearer's back above the wearer's centre of gravity substantially level with the shoulder blades, such that the wearer is suspended in a substantially vertical, feet-down, head-up position.
  • most legislation governing fall arrest harness design requires a dorsal lanyard connection, or at least an attachment point positioned to cause the wearer to be suspended in a head-up position inclined to the vertical by no more than 50° (such as standard EN 361 in the United Kingdom).
  • suspension trauma or suspension induced pathology can cause serious injury and even death due to what has become known as suspension trauma or suspension induced pathology.
  • This is believed to be caused by the pooling of blood in the suspended person's legs (known as venous pooling) and is particularly aggravated by the leg loops or straps concentrating pressure at the inside thigh and/or groin area and causing restriction of the venous system in the legs, encouraging venous pooling and the onset of suspension trauma.
  • venous pooling starves the brain and other organs, such as the liver, of oxygen, leading to orthostatic shock and ultimately death.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a fall arrest harness that avoids or at least greatly delays the onset of suspension trauma.
  • a fall arrest harness for arresting the fall of a person working at height comprising:
  • the lanyard connection member is accessible to the wearer in front of the wearer's body, making it possible for the wearer to pull themselves back up the lanyard using an ascender device.
  • Preferably further strap portions extend between side regions of the back portion of the rear section and the shoulder straps.
  • the lanyard connection member is connected to the sternal region of the shoulder straps via one or more extension straps, the lanyard connection member being releasably attachable to the back portion of the rear section at a dorsal position by releasable securing means whereby the lanyard connection member is detached from the back portion when a tensile force applied to the lanyard connection member exceeds a predetermined threshold such that the lanyard connection member separates from the back portion in the event of a fall.
  • the lanyard connection member is located in a convenient dorsal position during normal movement of the wearer, preventing the lanyard from interfering with work operations carried out by the wearer, but automatically moves to a sternal suspension position in the event of a fall to suspend the user in the desired position with the wearer's weight supported by the rear section and the shoulder straps.
  • At least a portion of the one or more extension straps may be formed from an energy absorbing material.
  • said energy absorbing portion comprises a region capable of irreversible elongation under the action of a tensile force.
  • At least a portion of the one or more extension straps is detachably retained in contact with the shoulder straps and/or the back portion of the rear section by separable or releasable securing mean s to slow and control the detachment of the one or more extension straps from the shoulder straps and/or the back portion and thus to control the release of the lanyard connection member from its dorsal position to its extended sternal suspension position in the event of a fall to absorb the energy of the fall and to control and guide the movement of the wearer towards the suspended, supine position.
  • the separable or releasable securing means of the lanyard connection member and/or the one or more extension straps may comprise preferentially tearable securing means, such as tearable stitching, or hook and loop fastening means attached respectively to the lanyard connection member and/or the one or more extension straps and the regions of the shoulder straps and/or rear section to which they are releasably attached.
  • tearable securing means such as tearable stitching, or hook and loop fastening means attached respectively to the lanyard connection member and/or the one or more extension straps and the regions of the shoulder straps and/or rear section to which they are releasably attached.
  • other forms of separable or releasable securing means may be used for the lanyard connection member and/or the one or more extension straps, such as preferentially releasable adhesive or press stud fasteners or similar.
  • rear section comprises a single panel to which the shoulder straps and leg straps are connected.
  • the length of the rear section may be adjustable to suit the body length of the wearer.
  • the length of the rear section may automatically increase during the shock of a fall, preferably by virtue of similar releasable securing means as those used for the lanyard connection and/or one or more extension straps to allow the wearer to sit deeper into the rear section when in the suspended position to further relax any residual tension on the leg straps.
  • the shoulder straps comprise a first shoulder strap extending from the back portion of the rear section to one side portion of the seat portion adjacent the lower edge thereof and a second shoulder strap extending from the back portion of the rear section to an opposite side portion of the seat portion the lower edge thereof, first and second extension straps being provided, the first extension strap extending from a sternal region of the first shoulder strap and being provided with releasable fastening means, such as preferentially tearable securing means, such as stitching, or hook and loop fastening material, such that the first extension strap can be releasably secured in contact with the first shoulder strap and a portion of the rear section, the second extension strap extending from a sternal region of the second shoulder strap and being provided with releasable fastening means, such as preferentially tearable securing means, such as stitching, or hook an loop fastening material, such that the second extension strap can be releasably secured in contact with the second shoulder strap and a portion of the rear section
  • the lanyard connection member is preferably located in a dorsal position on the back portion or the rear section when the first and second extension straps are located in their stowed positions in contact with the first and second shoulder straps and the rear section.
  • a further separable or releasable securing means may be provided for securing the lanyard connection member to the rear section, such as a flap insertable through the lanyard connection member and secured at one end to the rear section in said dorsal position and provided with releasable fastening means, such as hook and loop fastening means, for securing the flap.
  • the regions of the first and second extension straps overlying and attached to the rear section are covered by a cover member, such as a flap, releasably secured to the rear section, for example by means of hook and loop fastening means.
  • a cover member such as a flap
  • each of the first and second shoulder straps may be provided with a cover flap adapted to cover a portion of the respective extension strap in contact with the respective shoulder strap, said flap being securable to said portion of the respective extension strap by means of a releasable fastener, such as hook and loop fastening means.
  • leg straps extend between side regions of the seat portion of the rear section and a central region of the seat portion.
  • the seat portion of the rear section may define a pocket within which can be received a foam seat panel or padding to provide improved support for the seat region of the wearer and enhanced comfort.
  • the seat panel may be formed from a rigid material to provide enhanced support for the wearer and facilitate use of the harness for longer periods of suspension.
  • One or more further strap portions may be provided extending between the shoulder straps to extend across the chest of the wearer to prevent migration of the shoulder straps off the shoulders of the wearer during normal movement of the wearer. At least one of said one or more further strap portions may be elasticated to avoid restricting the movement of the wearer.
  • Each of said one or more further strap portions may be provided with a separable fastening means, such as a buckle, to permit the harness to be taken on and off.
  • one or each of the leg straps and shoulder straps may be include separable fastening means and may be adjustable in length to enable the harness to be fitted to the wearer's body, as is commonly provided in known fall arrest harnesses.
  • the shoulder straps may comprise continuous strap members extending along and through the length of the rear section.
  • a fall arrest harness comprises a main panel 1 formed from a textile material to which a plurality of strap means are secured by stitching.
  • the main panel defines a seat portion 2 adapted to overlie the seat or sub-pelvic region of the wearer and a back portion 3 adapted to overlie the back of the wearer.
  • a pair of shoulder straps 4,5 extend between the top of the back portion 3 and the side regions of the seat portion 2 adjacent the lower edge of the seat portion 2.
  • the shoulder straps 4,5 are provided with a buckle arrangement 6,7 to permit each shoulder straps 4,5 to be uncoupled to fit the harness to a wearer and to permit the length of each shoulder strap 4,5 to be varied to obtain the required fit.
  • buckle arrangements are well known in harness construction and need not be described in more detail.
  • a pair of side straps 8,9 extend between side regions of the back portion 3 and lower regions of respective shoulder straps 4,5 to prevent a wearer from falling out of the sides of the harness.
  • First and second cross straps 10,11 having releasable connectors therein extend between the shoulder straps 4,5 across the torso of the wearer to prevent the shoulder straps 4,5 from migrating off the wearer's shoulders during normal movement.
  • the upper, and possibly also the lower, cross strap 10,11 may be formed from an elastic material.
  • a pair of leg straps 12,13 are attached to the seat portion 2 extending between side regions of the seat portion 2 and a central region of the seat portion 2.
  • Each leg strap 12,13 is provided with a buckle arrangement 14,15 to permit the leg straps 12,13 to be uncoupled to fit the harness to a wearer and to permit the length of the leg straps 12,13 to be varied to obtain the required fit.
  • the leg straps 12,13 are merely intended to locate the harness on the wearer and form no part in the load bearing function of the harness when a person is suspended from the harness, as will be described below.
  • a pair of elongate extension straps 16,17 extend from upper portions of the shoulder straps 4,5 from a position adjacent the buckles 6,7, such position being level with the chest of the wearer in use.
  • the distal ends of the extension straps 16,17 terminate in a lanyard connection member 18 in the form a triangular metal loop or D-ring for the attachment of a lanyard.
  • the extension straps 16,17 and the upper regions of the shoulder straps 4,5 are releasably secured to the shoulder straps 4,5 in a stowed configuration by means of tearable securing means, such as preferentially tearable stitching or portions of hook and loop fastening material 20 (such as that sold under the Registered Trade Mark “Velcro").
  • tearable securing means such as preferentially tearable stitching or portions of hook and loop fastening material 20 (such as that sold under the Registered Trade Mark "Velcro").
  • tearable securing means such as preferentially tearable stitching or portions of hook and loop fastening material 20 (such as that sold under the Registered Trade Mark "Velcro").
  • a cover flap 21 is provided, attached at one end to the back portion of the main panel, said cover flap 21 being releasably secured to said extension straps 16,17 and or back portion 3.
  • a further retention flap 22 provided with hook and loop fastening material 20 is located on the back portion 3 to extend through the lanyard connection member 18 to hold the lanyard connection member 18 in the desired dorsal location during the normal activities of the wearer.
  • the harness may be comfortably worn during the normal working activities of the wearer whilst connected to a safety lanyard without interfering in the movement or activities of the wearer.
  • the tension applied to the lanyard connection member 18 by the lanyard causes the lanyard connection member 18 and the associated extension straps 16,17 to gradually separate from the back panel 3 and the shoulder straps 4,5 until the extension straps 16,17 and lanyard connection member 18 reach a suspended configuration, as shown in Fig. 5 , wherein the wearer is suspended in a supine position with the weight of the wearer borne by the seat portion 2 and back portion 3 of the main panel 1 and transferred to the lanyard connection member 18 via the shoulder straps 4,5 and the extension straps 16,17.
  • the spreading of the wearer's weight over the area of the main panel 1 avoids pressure concentrations that occur with prior art strap arrangements and, combined with the supine position, provide greater comfort and reduced stress for the wearer when suspended by the lanyard connection member 18 of the harness.
  • the strength of the tearable securing means 20 can be optimised to provide a gradual guided release of the extension straps 16,17 and lanyard connection portion 18 between its stowed and suspended configurations and thus a controlled and guided movement of the wearer between uncontrolled fall and the supine suspended position.
  • cover flaps 23,24 may be provided on the shoulder straps 4,5 adapted to overlie the extension straps 16,17, the cover flaps 23,24 being provided with hook and loop fastening material 20 to releasably secure the cover flaps 23,24 to the extension straps 16,17.
