When working at height on a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) like a cherry picker, it's important to wear the right kind of fall protection equipment to keep you safely restrained within the basket.
When working on scaffolding there is a significant fall risk that you need to be aware of. Every scaffold worker knows that having the right safety equipment is important before you make a start on a job. There are all kinds of harnesses on the market, it can be hard to know which one is the right option for your work scenario. Don't worry, we're here to help!
Generally, the best harnesses for scaffolders are lightweight and don't restrict movement. Often, the best place to connect a worker to the scaffold is behind them. This way, any ropes or lanyards will be kept well out of the way.
Here are our recommendations if you're looking for the best harness to use on scaffolding.
When it comes to choosing the best harness for use on scaffolding, the P34EL has lots of features that make it a great option. It's been designed with comfort and usability in mind, the elasticated legs and comfort padding in the shoulders and legs mean it can be worn for many hours without causing discomfort.

These elasticated shock-absorbing lanyards come with scaffold hooks, making them incredibly easy to use. We find these are some of the best lanyards for use on scaffolding because the elasticated webbing prevents the webbing from trailing around and becoming a trip hazard. Features like this are incredibly useful when you're working at height for prolonged periods of time. We'd recommend using these lanyards with our P34EL and P50 scaffold safety harnesses.
Single Elasticated Shock Absorbing Lanyard >
This kit comes complete with everything you need to work on scaffolding safely. The harness included in the kit is our popular P10 Full Safety Harness which can be fully adjusted to fit your chest, upper and lower body comfortably.

This is another great scaffold harness kit option if you want to buy all your equipment in one go! The harness included in this kit is the P11 2-Point Full Safety Harness. Again, this harness can be adjusted to fit your body snugly, it's comfortable to wear and easy to put on.

So, now you know which harnesses are the best for use on scaffolding, we thought we'd share some other useful equipment with you. This AY053 tool lanyard can be used to secure heavy tools like drills, grinders and chainsaws to your harness so that they aren't at risk of falling from the scaffolding. The elasticated webbing is 1.3mtrs in length, this provides you with enough space to use your tools and the reassurance that they won't fall if dropped.

Warehouses and factories can be very dangerous places to work, so keeping your staff safe should be at the top of your priority list.

Wondering what to expect from these new hydraulics? This blog will give you a good overview of the key products in the range. Give us a call if you have any questions - 0117 9381 600.
The Hi-Force pancake jacks are designed to offer precise force in confined workspaces. They're ideal for aligning machinery, turbines and other structures. With a single acting load return design, these pancake jacks apply pressure from their pump then use the weight of the load to retract. The bases of these pancake jacks must be supported when they're in use! Choose a capacity that suits your needs: 10-100 tonnes.
This single acting hollow cylinder from Hi-Force is designed for a range of jobs including tooling, tensioning and maintenance. Unlike other hydraulics in the Hi-Force range, this cylinder is hollow, meaning a cable or rod can be passed through it. This is especially handy if you need to apply a pulling force. It can also be used to test bonded and mechanical anchor systems. Starting with a capacity of 11 tonnes, these Hi-Force cylinders max out at 102 tonnes, so we're sure we'll have one to suit your lifting needs.
