What is a shock absorbing seat belt?
is an individual protection device used in height work, designed to prevent a person from falling or reduce the force of a fall if it occurs. It has an internal absorption system that reduces the tensile force generated
from falls, minimizing any potential damage to the body and ensuring the highest level of safety in hazardous work environments.
Shock absorbent seat belt components
1) Full Body Harness[
Made from strong materials such as polyester or nylon.
Contains multiple anchor points (D-rings) at the back, chest, and sides.
distributes the force of the fall evenly over the object.
2) Shock absorber lanyard[
#]the core part that reduces tensile strength when falling.
automatically expands by a certain proportion to absorb energy and reduce the impact of falls on the worker.
is often covered with an outer pod to protect it from the elements.
3) Lanyard or lanyard[
#]Made of strong rope or flat bar.
connects the belt to the anchor point.
may be fixed or double to ensure continuous motion with security.
4) Hook (Hook/Carabiner)
Made of hardened steel to withstand high weights.
is used to hang the belt with fixed anchor points.
with a locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening.
5) anchor points)
may be fixed on the job site or part of the system.
Bear the weight of the full fall unaffected.
importance of a shock-absorbing seat belt
1) Protect the worker from serious injuries
Absorbs the force of the fall and prevents strong trauma that may result in serious injuries to the back or spine.
2) Reduce the likelihood of death while working at heights
is considered an essential means of protection on construction sites, factories, warehouses, and maintenance work.
3) comply with international safety standards
Its use is required in accordance with global standards such as OSHA and EN to ensure a safe working environment.
4) Increase worker confidence at work
provides freedom of movement with a sense of security, which is reflected in productivity and quality.
5) Protect the organization legally
Its use avoids violations and fines resulting from violations of occupational safety requirements.
