procedures when selecting anchor points. This means
selecting lanyard anchor points at or above shoulder
height, wherever possible, and adjusting the harness
correctly. This is to reduce both the physical effects on
the body of the user generated by the arrest of the fall,
and the distance fallen. Safe clearance above the hazard
must always be ensured - comply with user instructions for
every component. During use protect all equipment from
sharp, or rough edges, and any
chemicals. Avoid contact with hot surfaces and exposure
to hot gases such as those from blowlamps or welding
torches. If you do work in an environment that will
adversely affect your equipment, regularly examine your
equipment during use to ensure its integrity.

INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the harness to aid
future inspection, and examination.
The equipment must be given a full inspection when
delivered to site/works, and before every use.
Current European standards state at least every 12 months
the equipment must be visually examined by a competent
person authorised by SpanSet, and the results recorded.
SpanSet recommends inspection by a competent person
every 6 months.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:-
Webbing
Check for cuts, cracks, tears, abrasion* and
scorch marks, burns or chemical attack.
Stitching
Look for broken stitch, loose or worn threads.
Metalware
Inspect for signs of damage/distortion/
corrosion, and correct operation of buckles.
Labelling
Ensure label details are legible.
Materials
All webbing and threads used in this harness are produced
from polyester.
* Local abrasion as distinct from general wear may
be caused by the passage of the webbing over sharp
edges or protrusions while under tension and may cause
serious loss of strength. Slight damage to outer fibres and
occasional yarn may be considered harmless but serious
reduction in width or thickness of the webbing or serious
distortion to the weave pattern should lead to rejection.
A harness should be immediately removed from service
after being subjected to any fall, or if in any doubt about
the harnesses condition. The harness shall not be used
again until it is confirmed in writing by a competent person
that it is acceptable to do so.
The harness may be cleaned or disinfected if required.
The following procedure must be adhered to. Use hand
hot water with a mild detergent or disinfectant, then
rinse with clean water, and allow drying naturally, out of
direct sunlight. Any detergent or disinfectant used must be
compatible with polyamide, and polyester.
If you require more information please contact SpanSet.
All equipment should be stored and transported in the
following manner:-
