impact safety harness
Working in these areas can be hazardous because of the risk of falling to a deck, pier, or into the water. A fall of just a few feet could result in serious injury, even death. For this reason, Navy policies and procedures require the use of full body safety harnesses and safety lanyards when working from heights. Safety harnesses and lanyards are designed to arrest free falls, evenly distribute the forces incurred upon the body during a fall, and reduce the overall impact of the sudden stop.
