6A. Sternal attachment point
EN 361
EN 361
6B. Dorsal attachment point
These points (marked with the letter 'A') are used to attach a
N 361
fall arrest system:
- Either in conjunction with a mobile fall arrester on a rope,
an energy absorber... (systems described by the EN 363
standard).
- Or in conjunction with a rope. For the sternal attachment
point, connect the two sternal rope loops with a figure-eight
knot.
Clearance: amount of free space below the user
The clearance below the user must be sufficient to prevent
the user from striking any obstacle in case of a fall. Specific
details on calculating clearance are found in the technical
notices for the other components (energy absorbers,
mobile fall arrester, etc.).

Adjustment and suspension test
Your harness must be adjusted to fit
snugly to reduce the risk of injury in
case of a fall.
You must move around and hang in
the harness (suspension test) from
each sternal and dorsal attachment
point with your equipment to verify
that the harness fits properly,
provides adequate comfort for the
intended use and that it is optimally
adjusted.
