Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a safety interface device that securely attaches to a length of webbing, while simultaneously providing a plurality of non-intersecting apertures to couple to a corresponding plurality of safety devices. In some embodiments, the safety interface device may be retrofitted to a closed webbing on a pre-fabricated safety harness. In some exemplary embodiments, the element may be opened and closed by providing two pivotably coupled plates, permitting the webbing to be installed when the plates are opened, and secured when the plates are closed. Various embodiments, for example, provide a securing pin which automatically locks the device to the webbing when the device is closed around the webbing. In some embodiments, the device will be again locked in a secondary fashion whenever a safety device is attached to the interface plate. Thus, at least two distinct actions may be required to open the device.
