Safety Harnesses - Treat Them Like New Every Time You Put Them On
Just because when you took your harness off the day before and it seemed perfectly fine with no visible tears or weaknesses does not mean that it is safe to wear today.  When it comes wearing a body harness, no assumptions should be made.  One needs to don the harness in the same order every day so that one does no overlook anything.  Making sure that you are properly trained and following the manufacturer's instructions are imperative as all harnesses are different and need to be looked at as unique.  Pay attention that the buckles are connected and aligned properly, leg straps and shoulder straps are kept snug at all times, chest straps are located in the middle chest area, and leg straps are positioned and snug.
