During each use
It is important to regularly monitor the condition of the product and its connections
to the other equipment in the system. Make sure that all pieces of equipment in the
system are correctly positioned with respect to each other.
4. Compatibility
Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your
application (compatible = good functional interaction).
5. How to put the harness on
- Be sure to correctly stow the excess webbing (folded flat) in the retainers.
Be careful of foreign bodies which can impede the operation of the FAST buckles
(such as pebbles, sand, clothing...). Verify that the buckles are correctly fastened.
Adjustment and suspension test
Your harness must be adjusted to fit snugly to reduce the risk of injury in case of a
fall.
You must move around and hang in the harness from each attachment point, with
your equipment, to verify that the harness fits properly, provides adequate comfort for
the intended use and that it is optimally adjusted.
6. EN 358: 1999 harness for work
positioning and restraint
These attachment points are designed to either hold the user in position at the work
station, or to prevent the worker from entering a zone where a fall is possible. These
attachment points must only be used to attach to a restraint or work positioning
system, maximum fall height: 0.5 m.
These attachment points are not designed for fall arrest usage. It may be necessary
to supplement work positioning or travel restraint systems with collective or personal
fall arrest systems.
When used in a fall arrest system in accordance with the EN 363 standard, use a
TOP or TOP CROLL chest harness in conjunction with your seat harness.
6A. Ventral attachment point
6B. Waistbelt side attachment points
Always use the two side rings together by linking them with a positioning lanyard in
order to be comfortably supported by the waistbelt.
6C. Rear restraint attachment point
This rear waistbelt attachment is designed only for attachment of a restraint system
to prevent the user from entering an area where a fall is possible.
Regularly check the effectiveness of the system during use (adjustment and
attachment elements).
7. Seat harness EN 813: 2008
Ventral attachment point
Nominal maximum load: 140 kg.
Designed for progression on rope and work positioning.
Use this ventral ring to attach a descender, positioning lanyards or progression
lanyards.
This attachment point should not be used to attach fall arrest systems.
8. Equipment loops
The equipment loops must only be used to attach and support equipment.
WARNING DANGER, never use equipment loops for belaying, rappelling, tying-in, or
anchoring a person.

9. Supplementary information regarding
standards EN 365
Rescue plan
You must have a rescue plan and the means to rapidly implement it in case of
difficulties encountered while using this equipment.
Anchors
The anchor point for the system should preferably be located above the user's
position and should meet the requirements of the EN 795 standard (minimum
strength of 10 kN).
Various
- In a fall-arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance under the user
before each use, to avoid any impact with the ground or an obstacle in case of a fall.
- Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit the risk and
the height of a fall.
- A fall arrest harness is the only device allowable for supporting the body in a fall
arrest system.
- When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous situation can result
if the safety function of one piece of equipment is affected by the safety function of
another piece of equipment.
- WARNING DANGER, take care that your products do not rub against abrasive or
sharp surfaces.
- Users must be medically fit for activities at height. Warning, inert suspension in a
harness can result in serious injury or death.
- The instructions for use for each item of equipment used in conjunction with this
product must be respected.
- The instructions for use must be provided to users of this equipment in the
language of the country in which the product is to be used.
