Class I harness description

Class I harness description

• A. Intended for emergency escape or single rescuer fall protection with a load of up to 300 lbs, worn around the waist and used to secure the rescuer to a stationary object for fall protection.
• B. Designed for two-person loads and worn as a full body harness.
• C. Used for work positioning with no fall protection.
• D. Only suitable for rope access with no load limit.

Answer: (A)

Class I harnesses are lightweight, waist-worn belts designed for emergency escape or single-rescuer fall protection and are rated for a limited load (up to about 300 lb). They’re used to secure a rescuer to a stationary object, not for full-body fall arrest or for situations requiring work positioning. That description matches the option that states it’s intended for emergency escape or single rescuer fall protection with a load up to 300 lb, worn around the waist, used to secure the rescuer to a stationary object. The other descriptions point to equipment meant for heavier loads or different uses—two-person loads with a full-body harness, work positioning without fall protection, or rope access—so they don’t fit Class I.
