Product Overview
The Portwest Ultra 3 Point Harness is a critical component for professionals operating at height, where safety is not merely a preference but a mandatory requirement. This full-body harness has been engineered to provide a secure and reliable connection for fall arrest and positioning tasks. Featuring a combination of rear dorsal, front, and side D-rings, it offers versatile attachment options to suit various working environments. The inclusion of quick-release buckles ensures that the process of donning the harness is efficient, reducing downtime without compromising on security.
Key Features
- Multiple D-Ring Attachment Points: The rear dorsal and front D-rings facilitate secure fall arrest connections, while the side D-rings allow for effective work positioning, ensuring you remain stable while your hands are free for the task at hand.
- Quick Release Buckles: These high-performance buckles allow for swift fitting and removal, which is particularly useful for workers who may need to transition between different safety setups throughout the day.
- Four Adjustment Points: With four points of adjustment, the harness can be precisely tailored to the wearer's frame, ensuring the load is distributed correctly across the body in the event of a fall.
- Integrated Rip Indicators: These indicators provide a clear visual cue during safety inspections, making it easier to identify if the harness has been subjected to the stresses of a fall and should be removed from service.
Design & Performance
The harness is constructed from a robust nylon webbing, which offers the necessary tensile strength to withstand significant force while remaining flexible enough for a full range of movement. The hardware is crafted from heat-treated alloy steel, providing exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear. The black and orange colour scheme is not just a stylistic choice; it assists in visibility and helps distinguish between the different straps during the fitting process. Every element is designed to ensure the wearer feels secure, allowing them to focus on their work with the confidence that their equipment is built to a high standard.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, on this harness because any alteration to the structural integrity of the nylon webbing could potentially compromise its safety performance. Introducing needles or high heat to these specialised materials may weaken the fibres, which is a risk we are not prepared to take with your safety equipment. This product is sold in its original, tested form to ensure it meets all required safety regulations.
Use Cases
This harness is designed for those working in high-risk environments, including construction, telecommunications maintenance, roofing, and any industry involving work at height. It is particularly suited for workers who require both fall arrest protection and side-positioning capabilities for hands-free operations on ladders or scaffolding.

Practical Advice
When selecting your harness, ensure it is worn over your standard work clothing but under any bulky outerwear that might interfere with the D-ring access. It is vital to perform a 'buddy check' with a colleague to ensure all straps are flat and the four adjustment points are tightened sufficiently—you should be able to slide a flat hand, but not a fist, between the strap and your leg.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your safety harness is essential for ensuring it performs correctly when needed. We recommend regular visual inspections of the nylon webbing and alloy steel components to check for signs of fraying, corrosion, or damage. Cleaning should be done with mild soap and water only, as harsh chemical detergents can degrade the synthetic fibres, potentially leading to material failure under stress.
Avoid exposing the harness to extreme heat sources or direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use. High temperatures and UV exposure can cause the nylon to become brittle over time. Always store the harness in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent the growth of mould, which can also weaken the fabric structure.
