is used as a component of a climbing system
to prevent the user from falling when climbing
a ladder or other climbing structure. Climbing
systems typically include a full body harness,
vertical cable or rail attached to the structure, and
climbing sleeve.For ladder climbing applications,
harnesses equipped with a frontal D-ring in the

fi xed ladder climbing systems. These are defi ned

United States.

component of a rescue system. Rescue systems
are configured depending on the type of rescue.
