INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Summary
This product is intended for use to protect and prevent against risks of falling from above in industry, in construction
work, in rescue and, more generally, for any application of work at a height.
Depending on the type of activity and the risk assessment, it is mandatory to choose the type and model of harness that
is more suitable, following the instructions reported in this manual.
Use
In order to get a perfect fit, choose your size according to the indication of chart A. Also, the user should carry out a
suspension test in a safe place to ensure that the harness is the correct size, has sufficient adjustment and is of an
acceptable comfort level for the intended use. During use, it is essential to regularly check the closing and the
adjustment of all the elements. Fall Factor is a rating used to evaluate the danger of specific scenarios when working at
heights is calculated using the following equation: Fall Factor = Height of Fall / Length of Lanyard. In situations where
the Fall Factor will be 0 (e.g. the worker is positioned under the anchor point on a tensioned lanyard) or in situations
where the Fall Factor is 1 or less and the freedom of movement is limited to 0,6 m or less, positioning equipment is
adequate. Fall arrest equipment must be used for other situations where the Fall Factor is greater than 1 or more
freedom of movement is required (fig.1).
The use of this equipment, combined with other components of the personal protective equipment, must be conform to
these instructions of use and to the current standards (fig.10).
For a correct use and for the connection to a safe anchor point, to a subsystem (for example energy absorber, a lanyard
and a connector) and other components, see fig.2-10. Connection to the fall-arrest o positioning system must be
exclusively done by means of the fall-arrest or positioning attachment points, as specified in fig.2-10; any connection to
gear loops/gear rings or to any other component of the harness is strictly forbidden: danger of death! The anchor point
must have a strength according to EN 795 (>15 kN).
Before and during use, check the correct closure and right adjustment of all the buckles and connectors Main material:
polyester, metal parts.
The text below shows the different kinds of harnesses: one harness can incorporate one or more of those kinds (chart
A). Allowed combinations of sit harness and chest harness are exclusively the ones reported in in chart A.
EN 361: FULL BODY HARNESSES The full body harness is a body retaining device for protection against falls from
heights when it is associated with other components of a fall arresting system. The free distance below the working
surface must be calculated in order to avoid any impact in the event of a fall. Attachment points for fall arrest are
exclusively the one(s) placed on the chest part of the body and identified with "A" (or A/2+A/2) marking.
EN 813: SIT HARNESSES The sit harnesses are intended for use to prevent falls from heights in suspension systems
in rope access, work positioning or restraint, through the exclusive use of the ventral attachment point. The maximum
use load (including equipment and tools) for CAMP Safety harnesses is indicated on the product marking. Prolonged
suspension can result in injuries on the human body, and can result in death in case of inert suspension of the user.
Regular pauses from the suspension must be done in order to avoid any dangerous effect on the human body.
Attachment point for suspension is exclusively the ventral one.
EN 358: BELT FOR WORK POSITIONING AND RESTRAINT The work positioning belt is a body restraint device
intended to sustain one person during his or her work by means of an individual protection device under tension in order
to prevent a fall and to prevent a person from reaching the areas that are at risk of falling from heights. The maximum
use load (including equipment and tools) for the EN 358 positioning belts is 150 kg. The anchoring point must be at or
above waist level. Attachment points for work positioning and restraint can be ventral, side or back. Side points must be
always used together.
