Abstract:
A photoluminescent safety harness adapter is provided for use with existing body harnesses. The harness adapter includes a backing configured to be wrapped around a shoulder strap of the body harness, an elongated, passive photoluminescent strip attached to the top side of the backing, and one or more light reflectors fixed on the photoluminescent strip. The backing may be inherently flame resistant and acid resistant through aramid fibers, or the backing may be treated with flame retardant. When the safety harness adapter is wrapped around the shoulder strap of the body harness, the top side and bottom side of the backing are fastened together to hold the harness adapter in place. If low light conditions arise, the light reflectors on the photoluminescent strip provide increased visibility, and if sudden darkness occurs, the photoluminescent portions of the elongated strip emit stored light.
