Malta Dynamics, a rapidly growing U.S.-based safety equipment manufacturer, has expanded its professional fall protection lineup with the launch of the Flash Hog Arc Flash Harness, a new safety solution designed for workers exposed to both electrical and fall hazards.
Introduced on January 19, 2026, the Flash Hog harness is built for linemen, utility crews, and industrial workers who routinely operate around energized systems. The product integrates arc-rated protection with lightweight construction to deliver all-day comfort without sacrificing safety performance. According to the company, the harness was developed through Malta Dynamics’ Field Tested, Field Approved process to ensure it performs reliably under real-world jobsite conditions while meeting strict regulatory standards.
“The Flash Hog was built to take on real-world conditions,” said Isaac Bocook, Product Development and Quality Manager at Malta Dynamics. “From the heat-resistant webbing to the dielectric hardware, every detail was engineered for performance. This harness is tough, reliable, and made to keep workers safe where it matters most.”
Designed for Work Around Energized Systems
The Flash Hog Arc Flash Harness is engineered specifically for environments where electrical exposure and fall risks overlap. It features dielectric overmolded alloy steel hardware designed to minimize electrical conductivity while maintaining structural strength. Heat- and flame-resistant webbing allows the harness to perform in high-temperature and high-risk settings, providing an added layer of protection for crews working near live electrical systems.
The harness includes both dorsal and sternal connection points, offering flexibility for fall arrest and climbing applications. With a lightweight design weighing approximately 3.5 to 3.8 pounds, the Flash Hog aims to reduce worker fatigue while maintaining durability and compliance.
Compliance, Comfort and Crew-Wide Fit
Malta Dynamics said the Flash Hog meets or exceeds multiple industry safety standards, including ANSI Z359.11-2021, OSHA 1926/1910, and ASTM F887-23 requirements for arc flash protection. The harness is rated for users weighing between 130 and 310 pounds, allowing contractors and utilities to deploy a single solution across diverse crews.
Built with professionals in mind, the harness reflects Malta Dynamics’ broader commitment to developing safety equipment that balances protection, comfort, and performance in demanding environments. The company said the Flash Hog continues its mission to help crews work safer and more efficiently every day.
