Keeping you On Board with LALIZAS
Along with the use of a lifejacket, the use of a safety harness combined with the suitable line is also very important, for your better holding and safety while at work on or around a boat. The safety harnesses and lines are means of protecting you from possible fall from a boat.
The LALIZAS safety harnesses fit comfortably to your body, and they provide the safety you need, by including a special ring (D-ring) at the front. One end of the safety line is tied up to D-ring, while the other end of the line is tied up to a stable place at the boat. Apart from the "Life-Link" safety harness, LALIZAS has also constructed full harnesses or waist belts, for work from a great height either on a boat or not.
The LALIZAS lines are available to single, double, double elastic as well as triple, with dimensions of 150cm up to 200cm. All LALIZAS harnesses and lines are constructed by resistant materials for greater durability, and can be combined with inflatable lifejackets or even with heavy clothing.

SAFETY HARNESSES AND LINES
What are the safety harnesses and lines?
A Safety Harness is a combination of webbing straps and one D-ring which is worn around the body. A Safety Line is a webbing strap where one end is attached to the D-ring of the harness, while the other end is attached to a secure point on the vessel. These two products are always used in combination with each other to ensure you remain attached to the boat at all times, even if you fall off it by accident.

Instructions of Use
Donning: The safety harness is worn in such a way so as to fit comfortably but not loosely around the body. Depending on the type of harness the straps are worn around the shoulders, or also around the legs as with the full harness. The safety lines are used by placing the hook on a secure point on the vessel while the hook or hitch on the other end is placed on the D-ring of the Safety harness. When securing a child it is obligatory that you use the hitch on the D-ring and not the hook.
Function: The combination of safety harness and line can prevent any injury caused from fall. Even if you fall overboard the harness and line will keep you attached to the vessel, hence increasing your chances of being found and rescued.
