The full-body safety harness is a key part of an active fall arrest system. The harness provides two purposes, first, distributing fall forces safely across a worker’s body in the event of a free fall, and second, providing freedom of movement sufficient to allow the worker to effectively perform his or her job.
A full-body safety harness is the combination of a sit harness and a chest harness which are permanently or semi-permanently connected to each other. This kind of harness normally offers a wide range of attachment points.
It is most commonly used in industrial/rescue situations, and also commonly used by small children instead of a sit harness which is easier to slip out of.
Designed with a higher-positioned belay loop, this harness automatically generates a stable position.
A full-body harness sits on and around or wraps the user’s shoulders, waist, and upper legs providing support to the whole body.
It comes with a fall indicator, build in to warn the user about the arrest in the incident of a fall. D-rings are also provided with a harness, which can be used for suspension or for holding equipment.
A full-body harness, because it secures the whole body and gives support, gives maximum protection in the event of a fall.

A lanyard has two ends, a shock-absorbing end, which should to attached to the harness, and the other end, which connects to the anchor point. The shock-absorbing end should be positioned at or around the D-ring, and the end attached to the anchor should be position above you to prevent a fall.
It can be used for rescue purposes, but its usage is limited. It works to protect the body if the rescuer needs to perform his activities at a place of a fall hazard, but is not ideal if the situation involves being suspended by a rope.
