The Salva-Vida PN12 Safety Harness

Shutterlock’s Latest Safety Innovation

At Shutterlock, we pride ourselves on delivering world‑class safety solutions to South Africa’s mining, engineering, and industrial sectors. With nearly four decades of expertise, we are excited to announce the introduction of the SALVA-VIDA PN12 full body safety harness with permanently attached lanyard — a product designed to set new standards in fall protection.

Built for Safety and Comfort

The PN12 safety harness is engineered to meet the highest international standards, conforming to EN 361:2002 for safety harnesses and EN 355:2002 for lanyards. Its thoughtful design ensures both safety and comfort for workers operating at height:

  • Dorsal D‑Ring for reliable fall arrest.
  • Sternal (Front) textile loops offering additional attachment points.
  • Adjustable chest and leg straps for a secure, customized fit.
  • Sit strap to reduce fatigue during suspension.
  • Webbing lanyard with energy absorber (PN 400) for controlled deceleration in the event of a fall.

Weighing just 2.5 kg, the safety harness balances durability with ease of use, making it suitable for long shifts in demanding environments.

Technical Excellence

Every component of the PN12 safety harness reflects uncompromising quality:

  • Webbing: Polyester, 44 mm wide, 25 kN breaking strength
  • Stitching Thread: High tenacity yarn for resilience
  • Metal Components: Alloy steel with silver galvanized finish
  • Static Strength: 15 kN for 3 minutes at each attachment element
  • Dynamic Performance: Harness tested with 140 kg dummy, 4 m free fall; lanyard limits breaking force ≤ 6 kN

These specifications ensure that the safety harness not only meets compliance requirements but also exceeds expectations in real‑world conditions.
