Attachment Elements (D-Rings)

US
When soft loops are present, it is recommended that these attachments only be connected with other soft loops
or carabiners.
2.2.1
Also called back D-Ring [CSA class A], present on all MSA Harnesses. For fall arrest. For CSA Compliance
use only the back D-Ring for connection to the other elements of a personal fall arrest system. The back D-Ring
may also be used as an attachment element for travel restriction.
2.2.2
Also called hip D-Rings. For restraint (work positioning and travel restriction) [CSA class D and P]. Never use
the hip D-Rings for fall arrest or for climbing protection. Always use both hip D-Rings together, for work posi-
tioning applications. When work positioning, use a separate fall arrest system attached to the back D-Ring.
2.2.3
For controlled descent, lifting and lowering (by hoisting), and for ladder climbing protection systems (provided
the potential free fall distance is very short, footing can be easily gained, and there is no chance to fall in a
direction other than feet first) [CSA class D and L]. The chest D-Ring may also be used for rescue, retrieval,
and evacuation.
2.2.4
Also called shoulder D-Rings. For rescue and retrieval lifting and lowering (by hoisting) [CSA class E]. Never use
the shoulder D-Rings for fall arrest or climbing protection. Use both shoulder D-Rings together, never only one.

Designed to support a worker in a position that reduces the worker's
profile during passage through a limited access area. Hoisting of the
worker is usually involved.
Designed for use with fall restrict systems involving the use of Class AS
or FRL fall arrester that travels on a vertical lifeline or rail, as described
in CSA Z259.2.5 and CSA Z259.2.4. These systems are typically
mounted on or adjacent to ladders or towers.
