B-Safe Swift QB Confined Space Harness, Size M, Quick Connect Buckles (BH02020-QB)

The B-Safe Swift QB confined space harness, code BH02020-QB (size M), is a full body harness with front and rear fall arrest attachment points, a rear D ring on a dorsal extension strap with a fall arrest indicator, confined space recovery loops on the tops of the shoulders, suspension trauma straps, and openable slide through and quick connect buckles (manufacturer-stated). B-Safe's data sheet lists fall arrest with a shock absorbing lanyard or inertia reel, restraint, recovery and rescue (both front loops connected together) and confined space rescue and recovery (using the shoulder loops) (manufacturer-stated).

B-Safe's catalogue says its harness range provides 140 kg capacity when used with B-Safe shock absorbing lanyards or inertia reels. B-Safe's data sheet says the maximum recommended lanyard length with the dorsal extension strap is 1.6 m (manufacturer-stated). B-Safe states the harness is AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 certified, and its catalogue says its harnesses are made to meet AS/NZS 1891.1 and should be used, cared for and maintained to AS/NZS 1891.4 (manufacturer-stated). Ask AIMS for the certificate that applies to the harness supplied.

B-Safe's technical guide says to inspect fall protection equipment before each use, to check the date of manufacture and the remove from service date on the label, and to take any equipment that has been used to arrest a fall out of use and return it to the supplier for inspection and certification, or destroy it (manufacturer-stated).

Fall protection equipment must be selected, installed, used, inspected and maintained by trained people in line with the manufacturer's instructions and the relevant Australian Standards. Ask AIMS for the instructions and test certificates before you order, and never use it for any purpose other than the one it was made for.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

This listing is size M. B-Safe lists small (BH02020-QBS) and large (BH02020-QBL) under separate codes. Fit the harness to the wearer using the fitting instructions on the harness before each use, and choose a lanyard or inertia reel rated for the wearer and the job. A confined space harness is one part of a system: it needs a suitable anchorage point, a connecting device, and a rescue plan. B-Safe's technical guide says employers should have a written procedure and contingency plan for recovering a fallen or suspended person (manufacturer-stated).
