EN 813 sit harnesses and EN 358 belts for work positioning can not be used alone for fall arrest purposes. The
EN 358 positioning belts also may not be used by themselves when there is a danger of total suspension or
excessive tension. It may therefore be necessary to integrate them with systems for fall protection: collective
(i.e. safety nets) or individual (fall arrest systems conforming to EN 363).
For the correct use of gear loops, see fig.11. Do not use gear loops for the connection of personal protection devices:
danger of death!
For the installation of a chest ascender, where possible, see fig.12. For the installation of foot-loops for the prevention of
suspension trauma (HelpStep ref.2062), see fig.13 (supplied separately). For the use of an additional rigid seat for
improving the comfort in suspension, see fig.14.
Certified rescue equipment and trained rescue workers are necessary for intervention in case of a fall, in order to
minimize the risk of suspension trauma.
GT Turbo
GT Turbo is equipped with a EN 12842/B Turbochest ascender ref.2256 (fig.8-fig.12). It is possible to replace a
damaged Turbochest by opening the quick link, then close it with a proper torque. Do not remove the quick link, do not
connect other devices to the quick link, do not use the quick link for other purposes.

Certified ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 models (U.S. standard) are reported in chart A and the standard number is marked on
the label of the harness.
This booklet must be read in conjunction with the instruction leaflet also supplied with the harness. Both leaflet and
booklet must be provided to the end user.
EAC use
Certified models for EAC use (Russia-Belarus-Kazakhstan-Armenia-Kyrgyzstan standard) are reported in chart A and
the standard number is marked on the label of the harness.
