What should you pay attention to when buying a parachute type safety belt? Safety and comfort should be your priority! One of the most important safety precautions in jobs that require working from heights is the parachute type safety belt. When buying a parachute type safety belt, it is necessary to pay attention to the following criteria;
• It should have EN 361 and CE Certificates
• Durable and long-lasting materials should be preferred
• It should be suitable for the body structure
• It should be easily adjustable
Thinking only about price when buying a safety belt can cause both financial losses and serious accidents in the long run. A quality safety belt offers safe use for years when used in accordance with the maintenance and storage conditions. A perfectly fitting, ergonomic and adjustable safety belt is a safety element that makes a difference for a person who works for long hours.
Compliance with Standards: EN 361 and CE Certificates
The EN 361 standard is the European norm that determines body restraint systems against falls. A belt with this standard has undergone independent tests and has been approved in terms of occupational safety. The CE certificate indicates that the product has been manufactured in accordance with the European Union norms and has passed safety tests. A product with EN 361 has a structure that fully embraces the shoulder, torso and leg area and distributes the load evenly across the body in the event of a fall. The CE mark indicates that the entire production process of the product has been subject to quality inspections.
Material Quality and Durability
The safety of a parachute type safety belt is directly related to the quality of the materials used in its production. Poor quality fabrics, weak stitches and low-strength buckles deform over time. Such wear can lead to unexpected breakage under load. High quality safety belts are produced from durable threads such as polyester or polyamide and are supported by steel or aluminum alloy buckles. The carrying capacity of the belt must be determined by loading tests. Information on how many kilos it can withstand is included on it.
