1.3.2 Environment
WARNING!
• Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the MSA Harness. More frequent inspections are required in these
environments.
• Avoid using the MSA Harness adjacent to moving machinery, electrical hazards or abrasive surfaces or in the presence
of excessive heat, open flame or molten metal.
• Do not use the harness near energized equipment where contact with high voltage power lines may occur unless
harness is rated to ASTM F887. Metal components of the harness may provide a path for electrical current to flow,
resulting in an electrical shock or electrocution.
• Chemical hazards, heat, and corrosion may damage the harness. More frequent formal inspections are required in
environments with chemical hazards, heat and corrosion. Other than harnesses constructed of Kevlar
webbing, do not use in environments with temperatures greater than 185º F (85 ºC). Use caution when working around
electrical hazards, moving machinery, abrasive surfaces, and sharp edges.
• For harnesses that have Quick Connect Buckles, special care must be taken around dusty environments, as small
particles may prevent proper function of the buckle. (See
• Harnesses constructed of Kevlar
spatter or similar high temperature (temperatures greater than 185° F / 85° C) hazards.
• Harnesses that are rated for arc flash protection are specially designed for use by electrical workers that may be
exposed to an electrical arc flash. The following application limitations must be considered and planned for before using
this type of "harness."
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
In electrical environments, the lanyard with hitch loop must be used to eliminate metal parts.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
