DESCRIPTION #2A - #2B1 - #2B2
These fall-arrest harnesses are classified as personal protective equipment (PPE) for falling from
heights, and are compliant with the EN 361:2002 standard.
When a work positioning belt is integrated to a harness (ref NUS55C) it complies to standard
EN358:2018 to ensure a restraint work position and prevent a fall.
Their configuration and the range of several sizes (#3) guarantee good comfort of use and maximum
safety. This full body harnesses (including work positioning belt) are manufactured using 44 mm
wide polyester straps, sewed to each other and connected by metal fastening and adjustment
buckles.
The fall-arrest hooking points are identified by a marker "A" (Dorsal hooking points and sternum
hooking point). Any unidentified attachment point «A» or «A/2» cannot be used as a fall arrest
attachment point. If the harness integrates a work positioning belt, the lateral attachment points (#1-
13) without identification are intended only for work positioning (#2-B2 EN 358 : 2018).
