Fall Protection & Safety Gear
We stock premium solutions from trusted manufacturers like Red Dragon and Ultra-Safe, focusing on durability, ease of use, and strict regulatory compliance. From personal body support to advanced self-retracting lifelines, every item in our inventory is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial construction and offshore environments.
The ABCD of Fall Protection
A complete fall arrest system consists of three main components (plus the rescue plan). We stock the critical gear for B (Body Support) and C (Connecting Devices).
1. Body Support : Full Body Harnesses The harness distributes fall forces across the strongest parts of the body (thighs, pelvis, chest, and shoulders).
- Product Spotlight : Ultra-Safe Full Body Harnesses.
- Features : These harnesses feature a Center Back D-Ring (Dorsal), which is the standard attachment point for fall arrest. It keeps the worker upright after a fall, facilitating rescue.
- Sizing : Proper fit is non-negotiable. We stock sizes from Small to X-Large to ensure every worker can secure a snug, safe fit. Loose harnesses can cause injury during fall arrest.
2. Connecting Devices: Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) SRLs (or "Yo-Yos") extend and retract automatically, allowing the worker freedom of movement while keeping tension on the line. In the event of a fall, the internal brake locks instantly (like a seatbelt) to arrest the fall within inches.
- Product Spotlight : Red Dragon Wire Rope SRLs.
- Wire vs. Web : We feature Wire Rope lifelines. Unlike nylon webbing, wire rope is resistant to cuts, abrasion, and heat, making these units ideal for welding, grinding, or leading-edge work.
- 100% Tie-Off : The 8 ft Twin Leg models allow workers to move between anchor points. By connecting one leg before disconnecting the other, the worker remains protected 100% of the time.
- Range : Standard 30 ft units provide ample reach for vertical movement on ladders or scaffolding.
Technical Compliance & Standards
Fall protection is strictly regulated. All equipment sold by HHI meets or exceeds:
- OSHA 1926.502 / 1910.140 : Federal regulations for fall protection criteria.
- ANSI/ASSP Z359 : The consensus standard for fall protection codes.
Inspection & Safety
- Pre-Use Check : Users must inspect their gear before every shift. Look for frayed wires, cracked housing, deployed impact indicators, or chemical damage on webbing.
- Competent Person Inspection : Equipment must be inspected annually (at minimum) by a Competent Person.
- Retirement : Any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces must be immediately removed from service and destroyed or returned to the manufacturer for service.
Choosing the Right Gear
- Harness Size : Do not guess. Check the size chart. A harness should fit snugly; you should not be able to slide a flat hand between the leg strap and your leg.
- Connector : Choose the Red Dragon Twin Leg SRL if you need to traverse obstacles. Choose the 30 ft unit for vertical access.

This department covers personal fall protection equipment - harnesses, lanyards, and lifelines used to protect a worker at height, which is a different function from the load-lifting hardware and slings covered elsewhere on the site. Browse the subcategories on this page for the specific product type needed.
Selection depends on the work being performed, the anchor point available, and applicable fall-protection regulations for the site. The subcategory pages break out product types in more detail, and Holloway Houston's team can help match a specification to an application.
Rated capacity and applicable safety standards vary by the specific product and are listed on the individual product page rather than as one figure for the whole department.
