Assemble all the harness adjustment loops when the user is
dressed.
Adjust the lengths of the various straps: they should not be over
or undertightened to obtain maximum comfort when using the
system and for optimum fall-arrest protection. The harness will
ensure efficient protection under these conditions.
For sizes, see figure 4, page 5.
As far as possible, the structural anchorage point should be at a
height of between 1.5 and 2 metres above the feet of the user.
The anchoring point must withhold a minimal resistance of 10 kN.
The connection to the anchoring point or to the structure must be
done using an EN 362 connector.
For connection of the fall-arrester to the safety harness, refer to
the manuals for the harness and fall-arrester in order to use the
proper anchorage point and the proper procedure for attaching.
Before and during use, it is necessary to plan out how
possible rescue can be efficiently and safely conducted,
within less than 15 minutes. Beyond such time, the person's
life is in danger.
