What standard must a full body harness meet if manufactured on or after July 1st, 2009?

In fall protection, the standard is determined by the regulatory body for the location. In Canada, it’s the CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standard for full-body harnesses. If a harness is manufactured on or after July 1, 2009, it must meet CSA requirements to be used in Canadian workplaces. This ensures the harness has the needed strength, stitching, hardware, and adjustability to work safely with lanyards and anchor points. The other options are national standards from the US or related domains (OSHA, ANSI, NFPA) and don’t apply as the mandatory standard for Canadian-made equipment.
