Policies on safety belts

The United States is one of the largest markets for fall protection products in the world. The American National Standards Institute has promulgated the ANSI Z359 standard series to ensure the safety of special-purpose products such as fall protection and rescue sold in the market.

Therefore, Amazon requires that the anti-fall safety belts listed on its shelves must pass the /ASSE Z359 safety standard, and submit a test report and corresponding information to Amazon.

Commodity regulations/standard requirements

Fall arrest harness (full body type) /ASSE Z359.11-2014 – Safety requirements for full body fall arrest harness

ASSE Z359.11:2014 – "Safety Requirements for Full Body Seat Belts" provides requirements for the performance, design, marking, qualification, description, training, test methods, inspection, use, maintenance and decommissioning of full body harnesses. These can be used for full braking, positioning, travel restriction, suspension and/or rescue applications for users in the 130 lb to 310 lb (59 kg to 140 kg) capacity range.

A full body fall arrest harness is a body immobilization device that prevents injury by distributing the forces of a fall over a large area of ​​the body. These items ensure that the person involved in the fall is suspended in an upright position after the fall. Full body fall arrest harnesses are designed to minimize the risk of injury from hanging.
