Abstract: A safety harness consisting of a continuous loop of strong material is stitched to form a larger torso loop and a smaller handle loop. The torso loop is maintained between the outer shell and inner liner of a service jacket and is positioned to loop behind the wearer's back, under his arms, and over his shoulders such that the handle loop extends from a hole in the base of the neck of the outer shell. The handle loop is removably secured to the exterior of the outer shell by a quick-release fastener. In another embodiment, the handle loop extends through a hole in the inner lining to be maintained adjacent the wearer's neck, preserving the integrity of the outer shell. In a still further embodiment, a lifting strap is looped over the rear of the harness, passed between the legs of the wearer, and fastened to the harness at the sides of the wearer, facilitating the wearer's vertical hoisting.
