What does fall protection cost, and what comes in a fall protection kit? Harness, lanyard, lifeline, anchor and bag
A personal fall arrest system is three things: an anchorage connector, a full body harness and a connecting device (an energy-absorbing lanyard, a rope lifeline with a rope grab, or an SRL); a fall protection kit packs those into a bag or bucket so one part number outfits one worker. On this site the Safewaze kits run from a harness-and-lanyard combo at about $117.00 to a roof kit with harness, 50 ft rope lifeline, rope grab, lanyard, reusable roof anchor and bucket at about $194.00, and the SRL combos above that; a harness alone starts near $200.00 and a 6 ft energy-absorbing lanyard near $56.49. Prices on this page are the store’s current prices. What the kit does not include is the structure the anchor goes on, the rescue plan 1926.502(d)(20) requires, the training under 1926.503, the annual competent-person inspection, and a replacement for any part that has arrested a fall; those are the costs of a program rather than of a kit. The what-is-in-the-kit table on each kit page lists every component by part number with its own page.
Safewaze PRO FS120 Fall Protection Kits, Bucket Roof Kit, FS280 HarnessRoof kit: harness, rope lifeline, rope grab, lanyard, reusable roof anchor and bucket (Safewaze data)Why the kit price is the smallest number. The equipment is the part of fall protection that is bought once per worker and lasts as long as it passes inspection; Safewaze sets no expiration date and the working life is set by conditions, care and inspection. The costs that recur are people and time: the competent person who inspects annually and signs the log, the training 1926.503 requires before the worker is exposed and again when the equipment changes, the qualified person a horizontal lifeline or an engineered anchor needs, the rescue plan and the equipment to carry it out within the minutes suspension trauma allows, and the replacement of every component in a system that has arrested a fall, which 1926.502(d)(19) requires. A kit answers the first line of that budget. The others are why the manufacturer’s training sheet puts education beside the ABCDs.
What is in a kit, by kit type
Safewaze’s kit families as its TDS list them; the exact parts are on each kit’s page.
What the system has to do, whatever it costs
The kit is the hardware; these are the rules it serves:
- Anchorage 5,000 lb per worker or a 2:1 engineered system (1926.502(d)(15)); free fall 6 ft or less, arresting force 1,800 lb or less, deceleration 3.5 ft or less (1926.502(d)(16)).
- Full body harness with the attachment in the center of the back; body belts are not part of a personal fall arrest system (1926.502(d)(17) and the note after (d)(16)).
- Prompt rescue, or the ability of the worker to rescue themselves, is provided for (1926.502(d)(20)); the manufacturer’s sheet puts it at 4 to 6 minutes.
- Any system that has arrested a fall is removed from service until a competent person determines it is undamaged and usable (1926.502(d)(19)); Safewaze removes and destroys the component.
- Inspection before each use for wear, damage and deterioration (1926.502(d)(21)); Safewaze adds a documented annual inspection by a competent person other than the user and sets no expiration date.
- Training before exposure, by a competent person, in the hazards and the use, inspection and limits of the equipment; retraining when the equipment or the site changes (1926.503).

What comes in a FallTech kit
FallTech’s user kits pair a harness (the 7007, or the Contractor 7015 and 7016 1D and 7017 3D) with a 6 ft energy-absorbing lanyard (8259 single leg, 82593 with a rebar hook, 8259Y or 8259Y3 twin-leg, or the 3–6 ft FT Basic 8256LT) and a 5005P or 5006MP bag or a 1 or 2 gallon bucket; its roofer’s kits (8595A, 8595RA, 8596A, 9103JK) hold the 7016 harness, the 8150 vertical lifeline, a trailing rope adjuster or anti-panic fall arrester and a hinged reusable (7410) or 6 ft pass-through (7372) anchor. Each kit page names its component part numbers in the title and the what-is-in-the-kit list, and the D-Rings field gives the harness count.

How much does a safety harness cost?
On this site a Safewaze full body harness starts near $200.00 and a construction harness with side D-rings near $153.00; prices are on each product page and change with the manufacturer’s list.
What is a fall protection device?
Any component of a personal fall arrest system: the harness, the lanyard or self-retracting lifeline (OSHA’s “deceleration device”), the rope grab, the lifeline and the anchorage connector (1926.500(b) definitions). A kit packs one of each into a bag or bucket; the device the worker wears is the harness, and the one that does the arresting is the lanyard or SRL.
How much does a safety harness and lanyard cost?
On this page the Safewaze harness-and-lanyard combos start near the figure shown on the first row of the bag kits group and a harness alone near the first row of the harnesses group; the rows carry the store price and part number for each. The kit does not include the anchorage structure, the training or the rescue plan the employer still has to provide.
What comes in a roofers kit?
Safewaze’s roof kits pack a harness, a 50 ft rope lifeline with a rope grab, a short energy-absorbing lanyard or D-ring extender, a reusable roof anchor with fasteners, and a bucket or bag; the kit page lists each part number.
What is a fall protection kit?
A harness, a connecting device (lanyard, lifeline with rope grab, or SRL) and, in the roof and anchor kits, an anchorage connector, sold under one part number with a bag or bucket; the three parts of a personal fall arrest system under 1926.500(b).
How much does fall protection cost per worker?
The equipment is the kit price above; the program adds training (1926.503), an annual competent-person inspection, a rescue plan and equipment, and replacement of any system that has arrested a fall (1926.502(d)(19)).
How long does a fall protection kit last?
Safewaze sets no expiration date; the components stay in service as long as they pass the before-use and annual inspections, and are removed and destroyed after a fall or a failed inspection (Technical Bulletin 00303).
Is a kit cheaper than buying the parts?
The kit price and each component’s price are both live on this site, so the comparison is on the kit page; the kit’s value is one part number per worker with matched components.
Who pays for fall protection equipment?
The employer, at no cost to the employee, under 1926.95(d) in construction and 1910.132(h) in general industry; the exceptions (ordinary safety-toe footwear, prescription eyewear, everyday clothing) do not cover harnesses, lanyards or anchors. The employer also pays for replacement unless the employee lost or intentionally damaged it (1926.95(d)(5)).
