Safety Harnesses Global Overview
Definition
Summary
Safety harnesses are a form of personal protection equipment designed to prevent the user from incurring an injury in the instance of a fall or other hazards. A safety harness consists of a set of straps that are affixed to or worn by the user and a connector ring. A safety harness exists as an integral part of a fall prevention system that includes an anchorage system and a connector (i.e. lanyard). Common buyers include contractors, telecom firms, oil and gas companies, as well as utility companies.

Warning Trends
Elevated Tariffs are increasing prices for law enforcement, security, and safety equipment
- The Trump administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which place broad tariffs on all imports from most US trade partners, are set to take effect on August 7 after the tariff rates were finalized on August 1.
- As a result, all foreign suppliers in law enforcement, security, and safety equipment will face significantly increased costs when selling products to US buyers, and domestic manufacturers of these goods will face higher costs when sourcing key inputs for these products.
- Countries such as China, Germany, Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam are leading sources of imports in this sector, providing high quantities of goods such as safes, locks, security cameras, security systems, and personal protective equipment. Starting August 7, imports from China, Germany, Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam will be subject to tariff rates of 54.0%, 15.0%, 25.0%, 20.0%, and 19.0% respectively.
- Elevated tariffs are likely to impact pricing and supply chains in this industry due to the United States’ reliance on imported manufactured goods, which gives foreign suppliers the leverage to pass through the costs of tariffs to buyers and domestic suppliers the leverage to raise prices.
- Consequently, the Yale Budget Lab projects a 39.2% average increase in metal product prices, impacting products such as security gates and safes. Electronic security devices, such as cameras or metal detectors, are projected to rise by 18.7% in price. In the personal protective equipment market, prices are forecast to rise by between 11.0% and 37.5%, depending on the type of equipment and materials used to make it.

For example, buyers should monitor Average Response Time and Average Time Between Failures. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Accuracy and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Response Time |
|
Number of queries Cumulative response time |
The average response time measures how quickly the supplier's support staff responds to queries. A low average response time indicates a responsive support staff. |
| Average Time Between Failures |
|
Hours in service Number of failures |
The average time between failures measures the durability of a safety harness. High-quality safety harnesses will fail infrequently and have a high average time between failures. |
