Hmm,
nowhere in any risk assesment I have seen points out that a
safety harness carries it's own risks.

I have often questioned the practice of using PPE as a final solution
without regard to the actual risks of using the PPE itself.

Safety harnesses are well known producers of lactic acid incidentally.
