The current demand and drive for sources of green energy, wind farms are becoming an increasingly used generator of clean, renewable energy across the UK. ScottishPower, one of the UK’s largest energy developers have recently formalised plans for a £2.4billion contract to provide 95 wind turbines for a new offshore project which will provide power to 1.3 million homes and providing thousands of jobs.

With this increase in wind farm installations there is of course a corresponding need to make sure that these professionals are kitted out with appropriate fall arrest equipment when working at height. Its also imperative that any such team are as comfortable and as safe as possible whilst developing these green solutions.

A fall arrest harness is a personal piece of kit for any engineer working at height and at Best4Safety we’re here to help you decide on the solution that will provide optimal protection with comfort for long periods of use.

In particular we would recommend taking a look at the following 2 styles of harness from market leaders 3M:
