Product Overview
The Portwest 3 Point Comfort Plus Harness is a comprehensive height safety solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of multi-purpose fall arrest and protection. As a universal harness, it integrates various attachment points to provide the user with maximum versatility without sacrificing safety. The design prioritises both security and long-term wearability, ensuring that those working at height can focus on the task at hand with confidence in their equipment.
Key Features
- Sliding dorsal D-ring: This primary attachment point is designed for fall arrest, ensuring that in the event of a fall, the force is distributed safely across the body's strongest areas.
- Two chest loops: These provide additional attachment options for specific rescue or work positioning scenarios, offering flexibility for various site requirements.
- Two side D-rings: Essential for work positioning, these rings allow the user to work hands-free while supported by a lanyard.
- Seating loops and lower back rings: These features provide additional support and attachment points for work in suspension or for use with specific fall protection systems.
- Fully adjustable frame: The harness can be tailored to the individual's build, ensuring a snug and secure fit that prevents movement during a fall.
Design & Performance
Engineered for endurance and reliability, this harness is constructed from high-tenacity nylon webbing. This material is chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to withstand the abrasive conditions often found on construction sites and industrial environments. Despite being a substantial and sturdy piece of safety equipment, the harness is designed with the user's physical comfort in mind.
To mitigate the fatigue often associated with wearing safety gear for extended periods, Portwest has incorporated padding across the shoulders, back, and seat. This padding helps to distribute the weight of the harness and any attached tools more evenly, reducing pressure points. The alloy steel hardware is heat-treated to ensure maximum durability and resistance to stress, providing a reliable connection point that won't fail when it matters most.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. This harness is a critical piece of fall protection equipment, and as such, we do not offer customisation or branding on this item. Piercing the nylon webbing with embroidery needles or applying heat-pressed transfers could compromise the structural integrity of the fabric or obscure essential safety labels and certifications. To ensure the product performs exactly as the manufacturer intended during a safety event, it must remain in its original, unmodified state.
Use Cases
This harness is the ideal choice for professionals across the construction, telecommunications, and maintenance sectors. It is specifically designed for anyone working at significant heights where fall arrest or work positioning is a legal and practical necessity. Whether you are working on scaffolding, pylons, or roof structures, this harness provides the necessary multi-point protection required for complex tasks.

Practical Advice
When donning the harness, ensure that all straps are adjusted to a firm but comfortable fit; a harness that is too loose can cause injury during a fall. We recommend a full visual inspection of the nylon webbing and steel D-rings before every use. Check for any signs of fraying, chemical damage, or deformation in the metal components. If the harness is ever involved in a fall, it must be removed from service immediately and replaced.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety harness is essential for ensuring its longevity and continued performance. We recommend keeping the harness clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grit, which can be abrasive to the nylon fibres over time. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic materials and weaken the webbing's load-bearing capacity.
Store the harness in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the nylon to become brittle, while improper storage can lead to accidental nicks or cuts. Regular inspections by a competent person are required to ensure the harness remains compliant with safety standards and fit for purpose.
