Fall Protection

The MSA Latchways® PRD is a lightweight, unobtrusive personal rescue device that is an integrated full body harness system for self-rescue. In the event of a fall the device lowers the person gently to the ground in a controlled descent.

The Gravity Suspension harness provides unparalleled comfort for all applications that require extended periods of time in a fall protection harness.  The features and benefits of this new family of harnesses from MSA are designed to reduce fatigue and allow users to perform their duties better and in more comfort. Models are designed for very easy donning, one hand adjustment at all adjusters, and modern styling.

The new MSA Workman Winch is rugged, versatile and economical for lifting, lowering and positioning personnel and materials within confined space applications. Designed for maximum 400-lb (182 kg) workload for personnel and 620-lb (282 kg) for materials, the Workman Winch is built with tough thermoplastic housing to ensure high performance within the harshest environments. Winch offers integral, ergonomic carrying grip and unique, foldable handle for simple storage. Patent-pending bracket design allows for easy, rapid assembly. 

With premium  stainless steel components and innovative engineering, the V-TEC Self Retracting Lifeline incorporates a precision-made spring radial energy absorber that requires zero calibration or adjustment.  The retraction dampening feature controls cable retraction speeds preventing pre-mature and accidental load indicator deployment.

Quality, comfort, and value come together in the Workman line of products. Workman Full Body Harnesses feature lightweight components and durable webbing. For corrosive environments, the Workman® Stainless Steel Full Body Harness comes equipped with stainless steel hardware.  Stainless steel components are resistant to harsh environments so they maintain durability when used in corrosive environments.

When free-fall distance can exceed two feet, use a lightweight, low-profile Workman® Energy-Absorbing Lanyard. The energy absorber not only limits force on the body in a fall, but also on the anchor location. The shock absorber includes a clear, durable protective cover over the labels to increase service life and allow for easy inspection.
