What material Webbing used for lifeline lanyard and harness ropes and straps must be made of?
Webbing used for lifeline lanyards and harnesses is typically made from high-strength synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester. These materials provide durability, abrasion resistance, and low stretch, which are essential for safety in fall protection. Additionally, the webbing must meet specific safety standards and be tested for load-bearing capacity to ensure it can withstand the forces experienced during a fall.

What is a harness in the context of fall protection?
A harness in the context of fall protection is a webbing of belts that can be tightened around legs, chest, arms, and waist and groin areas and is strong enough to support your weight at the end of a 6 foot fall without breaking or stretching significantly.It has a D-Ring on the back, also called a dorsal D-ring, that a lanyard hooks to.Together with the lanyard attached to the D-ring it forms a system that catches the wearer if he or she falls, and holds the wearer until rescue can arrive. A safety belt and lanyard is not acceptable for this function, as someone hanging from a safety belt and lanyard can begin to feel pain and suffer injury within minutes, while a harness can be tolerated for an hour or more.A person should be properly trained to use a safety harness. If there is no training you could still die while using it.
Can you use uni strut as anchorage point for a fall protection connector?
An anchor point should be able to support a 5000 lb load, or twice the max anticipated load in a fall. For the average worker wearing a harness and shock absorbing lanyard, that is around 950 lbs. Most unistrut framing members are not designed to support that load. Bad idea.

An employees' fall hazard potential distance according to OSHA standards is measured from what part of the body?
In general, you measure from the feet if the worker is standing. However, if using a fall arrest system, such as a body harness and lanyard, and the anchor point is below the spot of the body where the lanyard attaches to the work, you should ADD that distance to your fall calculation. Example- you have a 6 ft lanyard, but are tied off to an anchor at your feet. Lanyard attaches to D ring between shoulders- total fall will be at least 10 ft- 6 ft of lanyard, plus 4 feet of slack (feet to shoulder blades).
