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.
