Abstract: A safety jacket adapted to have a line secured thereto for anchoring the wearer of the jacket in the event he loses his footing. The jacket comprises a harness having a pair of shoulder straps and a belt made of polypropylene which is threaded through loops at the ends of the shoulder straps. Each of the shoulder straps is permanently affixed to the jacket by being stitched to the jacket material and to another piece of webbing on the opposite side of the jacket material at several points of attachment. The belt is similarly secured to the jacket at at least one point of attachment. When the jacket is worn, there is no possible relative movement of the harness with respect to the jacket and of the jacket with respect to the wearer, thus permanently maintaining the harness in the desired position.
