surface (# 9-B). Respect a maximum angle
of 30° with respect to the vertical line of
the anchorage.
- The lanyard must not be exposed to a
temperature greater than or equal to
140°C because it has a low melting point.
WEARING THE HARNESS (#4)

EN 361:2002 FALL PROTECTION HARNESS
- The use of this harness by a person
weighing less than or equal to 140Kg is
possible, if the associated prevention
systems meet the normative requirements
for stopping a fall with a weight of at least
140 kg (#7).
- The fall prevention system must be
connected to the dorsal dee-ring of the
harness. This point is identified by the letter
A (single hanging (# 2)). If the situation of
use of PPE requires it, it can be associated
with an additional fall prevention system on
the dorsal fall prevention coupling dee-ring
of the KTP EVO.
- The use of the harness with a fall
prevention 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.
- These fall prevention harnesses are not
suitable for work in suspension (risk of
orthostatic shock).
EN 354 : 2010 RESTRAINT LANYARD
- A lanyard, without energy absorber, must
not be used as a fall prevention system. It
is used as a fixed or retaining work system.
- If the single lanyard is equipped with an
energy absorber, the system formed is
considered to be a fall prevention system. In
this case, refer to the following paragraph
"Energy absorber integrated into an EN
355 lanyard". In particular, the total length
of the system including the connectors, the
energy absorber and the lanyard must not
exceed two meters.
ENERGY ABSORBER INTEGRATED INTO
AN EN 355 : 2002 LANYARD
- The energy absorber integrated into the
lanyard is connected to the dorsal point
of the KTP EVO harness. The other end
is connected to the anchor point or to
the structure by means of connectors
conforming to standard EN362.
- The total length of a subsystem with a
lanyard including an energy absorber,
manufactured ends and connectors must
not exceed two meters (#8-A)).
- Two lanyards fitted with an energy
absorber (#8-B) should not be used side
by side.
- Also, for a model of energy absorber with
Y-lanyard, the unused end should not be
attached to the harness (#8-B).
- Be careful not to hook more than one
person on the lanyard built into an energy
absorber.
- Lanyards fitted with an energy absorber
are not designed to form a slip knot (#8-B).
AUTOMATIC RETRACTING FALL
ARRESTER EN360:2002
- There is a risk of head injury while using
the KTP EVO in combination with one of the
automatic retracting fall arrester models.
It is thus recommended to wear a suitable
protective helmet at the same time.
