👀 Friday Fun - Safety Professionals... What differences do you notice between these two fall protection harnesses?

At first glance they may look similar, but advancements in design, comfort, fit, and safety features have changed significantly over the years. That's why it's important that workers train on the equipment they're likely to encounter in the field, not equipment that has become outdated or obsolete.

A special thank you to our partners at 3M for providing updated harnesses for use in our fall protection and safety training courses.

We believe the best learning experiences come from hands-on training with current equipment, and partnerships like this help us continually improve the experience for our students.

What differences do you see? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️
