Construction safety belts must be used for high-altitude operations, mainly for the following important reasons:

1、 Prevent falling

In high-altitude work environments, personnel face a huge risk of falling. Even a small slip, slip, or unexpected bodily imbalance can lead to falling from a height. Building safety belts can tightly secure workers in relatively safe positions at critical moments, such as sturdy structures, scaffolding, etc., effectively preventing falls from occurring.

2、 Provide buffering

When an accident occurs and the operator begins to fall, the webbing and safety buckle of the safety belt can provide a certain buffering effect. By extending the distance and duration of the fall, the impact force generated at the moment of the fall is reduced, thereby reducing the degree of harm caused to the human body. This is just like how car seat belts can reduce the impact force on passengers during collisions.

3、 Enhance psychological security

For high-altitude workers, knowing that they are wearing seat belts correctly can create a sense of security psychologically. This sense of security helps workers to focus more on their work and reduce operational errors caused by fear and anxiety. Meanwhile, psychological stability can also improve work efficiency and quality.

4、 Compliant with safety regulations

In the field of construction and other high-altitude operations, relevant safety regulations clearly stipulate that safety belts must be used. This is to ensure the safety of workers and is also a legal obligation that enterprises and project leaders must comply with. Not using seat belts for high-altitude operations not only poses great danger to workers, but may also result in serious legal consequences and economic penalties for enterprises.

How to choose the correct safety belt for high-altitude operations?

Choosing a safety belt for high-altitude operations requires consideration of the following aspects:

1、 Compliant with standards

Ensure that the selected seat belts comply with relevant national and industry standards, such as the national standard GB 6095-2009 "Seat Belts". Safety belts that meet the standards have certain guarantees in terms of quality, performance, and safety.

2、 Suitable type

Full body seat belt: This type of seat belt can evenly distribute the impact force to the main parts of the body, including the shoulders, chest, waist, and legs. Suitable for most high-altitude work scenarios, especially those that require a large range of activities and high safety.

Half body seat belt: mainly around the waist and legs, relatively lightweight compared to full body seat belts. Suitable for situations where the activity scope is small and the working height is relatively low.

3、 Excellent material quality

Ribbon: High strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials such as polyester fibers should be selected. The width of the ribbon is usually between 40mm and 50mm, which is more suitable. If it is too narrow, it may not withstand enough force, while if it is too wide, it may affect flexibility.

Metal components such as locks and connectors should be made of high-strength alloy steel and undergo rust prevention treatment to ensure reliable performance in various harsh environments.

4、 Appropriate size

Choose a suitable safety belt based on the body size of the operator. Seat belts should not be too tight or too loose. Tightness can limit movement and affect comfort, while looseness cannot provide effective protection. You can determine the appropriate size by trying on or referring to the product size chart.

5、 Brand reputation

Choose well-known brands and seat belt products with good reputation. These brands are usually more secure in product development, quality control, and after-sales service, providing users with more reliable security guarantees.

6、 Inspection and maintenance

When choosing a seat belt, it is necessary to check whether the product is damaged, worn, deformed, etc. At the same time, understand the maintenance requirements for seat belts, such as regular inspections, cleaning, storage, etc., to ensure the performance and safety of seat belts during use.
