OmniGear LLC, a division of Gig Gear and maker of accessories and solutions designed for those working in AV installation has debuted the SafeTHT, the latest addition to its Two Hand Touch line of wearable iPad and tablet harnesses.
The SafeTHT secures to the chest via an adjustable harness, leaving both hands available to interface with other equipment. It features reflective, high-visibility striping on both the outside of the harness and the inside flap when it’s open.
The high-visibility fabric allows the SafeTHT to be worn in conjunction with other hi-viz vests, shirts and jackets, without violating any required workplace safety standards.

“Creating gear that makes workers’ jobs easier and more efficient is the core mission of OmniGear,” said Danny Shatzkes, OmniGear’s owner and founder in a statement. “But above that is safety. The reflective fabric on the SafeTHT takes safety to a whole new level. We’re proud to offer solutions for AV installers that not only streamlines their work, but also keeps them, and those around them, safe.”
The SafeTHT puts the weight of the tablet closer to the installer’s core, which makes it more ergonomic and decreases hand fatigue and cramping. Adjustable viewing angles offer best usage of the tablet regardless of the position of the user and built-in accessories pockets provide easy access to tools, radios and more. The harness’s wide straps hold the harness securely while tightening and loosening for a customized fit. The SafeTHT is available in two sizes, 9.7 inches and 12.9 inches.
