B-Safe Swift QB Pole Workers Harness, Quick Connect Buckles, Small (BH02030S-QB)

The B-Safe Swift QB pole workers harness 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, suspension trauma straps, an adjustable waist belt with side D rings, and openable slide through and quick connect buckles (manufacturer-stated). B-Safe's data sheet is for BH02030-QB, which it describes as the basic pole workers harness. This listing carries four size codes: BH02030S-QB (small), BH02030-QB (medium), BH02030L-QB (large) and BH02030XL-QB (XL) (AIMS record).

B-Safe's data sheet lists fall arrest (a shock absorbing lanyard or inertia reel on the dorsal extension, rear D ring or front loops), restraint, work positioning using the side D rings with a pole strap, recovery and rescue, and confined space rescue and recovery. B-Safe says the maximum recommended lanyard length with the dorsal extension is 1.6 m (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, and that every harness is individually proof loaded to 7.5 kN (750 kg) before final inspection (manufacturer-stated). B-Safe's data sheet states the harness is AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 certified, and B-Safe's 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.

Selecting the right option

B-Safe's sizing guide gives waist measurements of 660 to 900 mm for small, 750 to 1050 mm for medium and 750 to 1150 mm for large and extra large, and says the guide does not replace confirming a suitable fit before you buy (manufacturer-stated). Fit the harness using the instructions on its label before each use, and choose a lanyard and pole strap rated for the job.
