CMC Rescue Fire Rescue Harness

CMC Rescue Fire Rescue Harness 

UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Class III and ANSI Z359.1 & Made in the USA 

Enhanced with a new Fall Arrest Indicator and work positioning side D-rings

The Fire Rescue Harness remains the most versatile, multiple use harness in fire rescue. Used worldwide by fire department rescue teams, USAR teams, helicopter crews and wilderness SAR teams, this extremely popular harness features multiple D-ring attachment points and our JackBack™ removable padding with breathable D3 cloth, which keeps shoulder straps separated and makes donning and doffing a breeze. The dorsal D-ring allows adjustment for different size rescuers, but stays in place when loaded, greatly increasing comfort. The front waist D-ring allows a comfortable, stable sitting position for rappels and the sternum D-ring works well for helicopter hoists. Gear loops have been improved for easier access, and quick connect shoulder straps and leg loops make donning the harness simple and fast. Pads on the leg loops can be adjusted to the most comfortable position. The front lift assembly accepts screw links for adding a chest ascender or safety lanyards. Attachment points: front waist, sternal, dorsal, sides. 

The Advantage of the Fixed Dorsal D-ring 
ANSI Rated while the dorsal D-ring on our Fire Rescue Harness adjusts so it can be properly positioned, it is designed not to slide up when the D-ring is loaded. If the force of loading the harness, either under normal use or during a fall, slides a dorsal D-ring up toward the back of the user’s head, the web going over the shoulders could pinch in toward the user’s neck. Not only is this uncomfortable, it could compromise the arteries with sever results. Fixing the dorsal D-ring to the rear waist portion of the harness prevents this from occurring and allows the peak impact force to be absorbed by the pelvis and the thighs – as opposed to the back – increasing rescuer comfort and safety. 

Working-At-Height / Industrial Rope Access / Technical Rope Rescue 
Working at height requires reliable, quality equipment. The Fire Rescue Harness can be used with confidence in work-at-height maneuvers for industrial rope access or technical rope rescue when used in accordance with the regulatory safety standards it falls under. Always use life safety equipment and gear according to the regulatory safety standards for which it is classified and/or certified.
