THE HARNESS IS PUT ON CORRECTLY IF:
- All straps are correctly adjusted (you can thread your hand between the harness and your clothes);
- Dorsal attaching ring is correctly positioned at the level of the shoulder blades;
- The free ends of all the straps are threaded through the loops;
- The positioning belt is correctly adjusted (neither too loose nor too tight);
- Its side attaching rings are correctly positioned symmetrically on user's sides, at the level of the hips;
- Its front attaching buckle is correctly positioned at the middle of the abdomen.
ATTENTION: before using the harness, perform a positioning test in a safe location. Make sure that the harness fits properly
and guarantees the necessary comfort of work.
CONNECTING OTHER FALL ARREST DEVICES

The fall arrest device must be connected only to the attach-
ing elements of the harness marked by capital letter A. So it
can be connected directly to the dorsal attaching ring (1) or
to both the sternal attaching loops (2).
It is strictly forbidden to attach the fall arrest device to only
one sternal attaching loop. The dorsal attaching ring is
marked by capital letter A, marked on the crossing plate
with arrows indicating the ring.
Sternal attaching loops are marked by an half of the capi-
tal letter A placed on the label sewn into each loops. See
drawing.
ATTENTION: it is strictly forbidden to attach any fall arrest device to the rings of positioning belt.
CONNECTING THE POSITIONING LANYARD
Positioning lanyard could be connected only to the lateral rings of the positioning belt. According to EN 358, positioning lanyard
must be anchored to the point of construction that is situated at waist level or above. Positioning lanyard must be kept taut to
restrict the free fall to a maximum 0,5 m.
ATTENTION: It is strictly forbidden to attach any positioning system to the attaching points of the harness.
NOTES
Before using a fall arrest system, of which the full body harness is a component, you have to check that all devices are cor-
rectly connected. They can work without any trouble and they are certified with the obligatory standards:
- EN 353-1, EN 353-2, EN 354, EN 355, EN 360, EN 361, EN 362: for fall arrest system.
- EN 795: for anchor devices.
- EN 341: for descender devices.
USE
During use, the device should be protected from a contact with oils, acids, solvents, basics, open fire, hot metal drops and
sharp edges. You should avoid using the device in the dust laden and greasy environment.
WITHDRAWN FROM USE
The PPE must be withdrawn from use immediately when:
- any doubt arises about its good condition or its right functioning
- it has been used to arrest a fall
The PPE must be sent to the device manufacturer or to his certified representative to carry out a detailed inspection and to
value its eventual repair or destruction.
PERIODIC REVIEWS
After each 12 months of utilization the PPE must be withdrawn from use for carrying out the periodic review.
During this inspection will be established admissible time for the PPE use till next periodic review. After this period, it is strictly
forbidden to use the PPE without carrying out next periodic review. All the information concerning the periodic review must be
recorded in the Identity Card. The periodic reviews and the updating of the Identity Card can be carried out by the manufac-
turer or by his authorized representative only.
ADMISSIBLE TIME OF USE
The expected average life of the PPE, if it is kept as specified in this informative note and it is subjected to all periodic reviews,
is 5 years from first use date.
THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF USE OF PPE AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
- PPE shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
- PPE must not be used by a person with medical condition that could affect the safety of the equipment user in normal and emergency
use.
- A rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
