Understanding MEWP Safety: Restraint vs. Fall Arrest

For mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), the primary risk isn't usually a long free fall, but being forcefully ejected from the basket due to collision, snagging, or sudden movement. A restraint system is often the most appropriate fall protection measure in these situations.

This FALL@RREST MEWP harness kit provides a restraint system. By connecting the lanyard from the safety harness to a designated anchorage point within the MEWP basket, the user is physically prevented from reaching a position where a fall or ejection could occur. The lanyard is adjusted so the user cannot get close enough to the edge to fall out.   

A fall arrest system, on the other hand, is designed to safely stop a fall that is already happening. While fall arrest systems are vital in other working-at-height scenarios, a properly used restraint system is typically recommended and sufficient for preventing falls within a MEWP basket.   

If you require fall arrest equipment or need advice on whether restraint or fall arrest harness kit is right for your specific application, please contact the ULS Lifting team.

FAQ's for FALL@RREST GLOBAL MEWP Safety Harness Kit

What is a MEWP Safety Harness Kit used for?

A MEWP Safety Harness Kit is used to protect personnel working at height in Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), such as cherry pickers or scissor lifts. The kit, including a safety harness and lanyard, is connected to a designated anchorage point within the MEWP basket to prevent the user from falling out or being ejected.

Is this FALL@RREST kit a fall arrest or restraint system?

This specific FALL@RREST GLOBAL MEWP Safety Harness Kit is designed primarily as a restraint system. The adjustable lanyard (certified to EN358 for work positioning/restraint) is used to physically prevent the user from reaching a fall hazard (like the edge of the basket) by limiting their movement. While providing a form of fall protection, its main function in a MEWP is restraint, not arresting a free fall.

Do I need a harness in all types of MEWPS?

The requirement for a harness in a MEWP depends on the type of MEWP and the specific risk assessment for the job. Boom-type MEWPs (like cherry pickers) where there is a risk of ejection often require a restraint system using a harness and lanyard. Scissor lifts working on a stable, level surface might have different requirements. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions, relevant regulations, and your site-specific risk assessment. This harness kit is suitable when a restraint system is required.

What safety standards does the FALL@RREST MEWP Harness Kit meet?

The harness component (FA310020) conforms to EN361:2002 (Full Body Harnesses), and the adjustable lanyard (FA210040) conforms to EN358:2000 (Work Positioning and Restraint Systems). This safety harness kit is supplied fully certified, ensuring it meets relevant European safety standards for fall protection and restraint equipment.

What specific components are included in this MEWP harness kit?

The FALL@RREST GLOBAL MEWP Safety Harness Kit includes a Fall@rrest Global Multi-Purpose Two-Point Harness (FA310020), a Fall@rrest Global Adjustable Work Positioning Lanyard (FA210040), and a Fall@rrest Pull Cord Bag (FAHBAG01) for storage. It's a complete MEWP harness kit.

Where should I attach the lanyard in the MEWP basket?

The lanyard should always be attached to a designated anchorage point within the MEWP basket. These points are specifically designed and marked by the MEWP manufacturer to withstand the forces of restraint or fall arrest. Never attach to rails or structures not designated as anchorage points.

Is the Fall@rrest brand reliable for fall protection?

Yes, FALL@RREST is a reputable brand known for manufacturing quality fall protection and height safety equipment, including reliable fall arrest harnesses and components like those included in this safety harness kit.
