not interfere with each other.
- Before every use of a fall-arrest system, the empty space (clearance) required under the user must be
verified so that, in case of a fall, there is no collision with the ground, or with a fixed or moving obstacle
that is within the fall trajectory.
- Via a visual inspection, verify that the equipment is in good condition and that there are no faults:
condition of the straps, seams, adjustment buckles, rings and fall indicators (#6). Ensure that there is no
wear, cuts, fraying, chafing, deformation, traces of rust or discoloration and ensure that the markings
are readable (identification and/or date of validity). Ensure that the buckles are clean and that they
function properly.
USE :
- During use, regularly check the fastening and adjustment parts of the harness and the integrated
belt. These components must be protected from any environmental stress: mechanical stress (impacts,
sharp edges, etc.), chemical stress (projection of acids, bases, solvents, etc.), electrical stress (short-circuit,
electric arcs, etc.) or thermal stress (hot surfaces, blowtorches, etc.).
- The fall-arrest system must be connected to the dorsal D-ring or to the sternum ring. These points are
marked with the letter A (single hooking).
- The use of the harness with a fall-arrest subsystem must be compatible with the instructions for use
of each component of the system and with the standards: EN353-1 / EN353-2 / EN 355 / EN360 / EN
362. For mobile fall-arrest systems including a rigid (EN353-1) or flexible (EN353-2) belay support, it is
recommended to connect the harness using the sternum anchor points. For energy absorbers (EN355)
or self-retracting fall-arrest systems (EN360), connect the harness to the dorsal anchor point.
- The anchor point on the structure used to fix the fall-arrest system must be slightly above the user,
and must comply with the minimum resistance requirements specified in the EN 795:2012 standard (R
≥ 1200 DaN). Try not to distance yourself too much from this anchor point in order to limit the impact
of a possible pendulum fall.
- When using a lanyard for work positioning and restraint, its anchor point must be located at the waist
or above. This lanyard must be kept tight. The two side hooking dice must always be used together
when connecting with this lanyard. Please note that the connections are made via connectors in
accordance with EN 362.
- The tool-holder rings must not be used as anchor points or work positioning points under any
circumstances.
- After a fall or when the drop indicator is showing (#6) the harness must be discarded.
- This harness is approved for use by a person weighing 140 kg or less (The weight includes the user,
his tools and his equipment). Attention, the associated shutdown systems must meet the normative
requirements to stop a fall with a mass of at least 140 kg.
- A connector must never have a load on its clasp.
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF USE :
A periodic inspection carried out by a competent inspector is necessary to ensure the safety of the
user, which is connected to the maintenance of the effectiveness and resistance of the equipment. A
mandatory annual inspection will check the condition of the equipment and it can only continue to be
used on obtaining a written agreement.
