Safety harnesses have restraints that prevent the wearer from falling from a height. By wearing the belt or harness the risk of injury from a fall is greatly reduced. The harness allows the user to attach themselves to an object that is stationary, ensuring they will not hit the ground in the event of a possible fall.
A height gauge is a measuring device used for determining the height of objects, and for marking of items to be worked on. [ 1 ] These measuring tools are used in metalworking or metrology to either set or measure vertical distances; [ citation needed ] the pointer is sharpened to allow it to act as a scriber and assist in marking out work pieces.
A common problem is wear to particular areas, such as that caused by the frequent use of a tool in one place (such as a height gauge), that causes an uneven surface and reduces overall accuracy of the plate, this may be greatly accelerated if abrasive dust is present. Tools and workpieces may also cause damage when dropped on the surface plate.
Depth gauge or height gauge. Form of marking gauge for marking lines parallel to an edge, by setting the head to a certain distance from the end of the rule. [6] Reference for directly transferring dimensions without needing to take a measurement, minimising measurement errors and inaccuracies. [7]
Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.
