Safety Harness Installation Guidance

The Motorsport UK Safety Harness Installation guidance explains how to install, check and maintain competition harnesses correctly. On this page, you can access guidance on harness homologation, extended validity, mounting points, counter plates, harness bars, shoulder strap angles and installation considerations when using a frontal head restraint.

The document also covers regular maintenance, inspection after accidents, signs of damage to look out for, and why correct installation is essential for the harness to work effectively alongside the wider vehicle safety system.
