Each LINQ Harness is designed to ensure the body can tolerate and survive all forces placed on it in the event of a fall. Furthermore, LINQ webbing straps and the fall arrest hardware are ergonomically designed to minimise impact on the human body in the event a fall incident.
LINQ harness webbing has been specifically woven to reduce slippage and ensure maximum buckle grip. Research and development analysed webbing and buckle design including material composition which was integral in achieving unrivalled comfort, safety and zero buckle slippage even during extended wear.
Engineered to minimise incidental harm in the event of a fall, the LINQ range boasts the addition of buckle padding to significantly reduce the risk of injury from harness buckles. Further protecting the wearer is the ergonomic placement of the chest strap, which is positioned below the breast line and the shoulder strap adjustment buckles. This considered chest strap placement is designed to minimise throat and facial injury in the event of a fall.
Another feature of LINQ harnesses, also designed to reduce the risk of throat and facial injury, is the inclusion of extended belay loops in preference over a frontal chest D ring. LINQ belay loops provide a more balanced weight distribution than the more commonly used frontal chest D ring.
Further wearer protection is provided by the inclusion (as standard equipment) of LINQ’s standing step suspension trauma strap - designed to alleviate and minimise post fall Orthostatic Intolerance (suspension trauma syndrome).
Enhancing the unique combination of harness design features, the LINQ range Complies to AS/NZS1891.1 Standards criteria, and we can prove it with Standards Certification!
Independently audited by third party body SAI Global for AS/NZS 1891.1 for Standards adherence, the LINQ harness range boasts the quality assurance of the prestigious “5 ticks” mark of Certification.
