Is it necessary to restrain long hair while using the harness?

The assertion that it is not necessary to restrain long hair while using the harness is not accurate from a safety perspective. In contexts involving the use of harnesses, especially in urban air safety or any operation where movement, equipment, or potential hazards are present, it is crucial to ensure that hair, particularly long hair, is securely tied back or restrained.

Long hair can pose a safety risk by getting caught in equipment, leading to potential injury. Straining hair helps protect the individual using the harness and ensures focus can remain on the task without distractions or hazards posed by loose hair. Therefore, appropriate safety protocols recommend that all personnel, regardless of hair length, should take precautions to secure their hair while working with harnesses to promote overall safety.

In safe practice, the focus should always be on minimizing risks, and this includes managing personal attributes such as hair length. This way, the risk of entanglement or interference with equipment is mitigated effectively.
