Abstract: A safety harness for use on power transmission pylons has a main section with at least a portion thereof being electrically conductive, and a coupling for connecting that portion to earth. The harness may include a lower support section, with the main section having shoulder straps and an upper back portion. The electrically conductive portion is normally located in at least one of shoulder and waist areas of the main section. The earth connection can be made through a lanyard extending from the harness to the respective pylon.
