For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, ve-

rification, maintenance and storage.
ABS Safety cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect acci-

dent occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use 

this equipment beyond its capabilities!

USE AND PRECAUTIONS: 

A harness is a piece of personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a 

single user (it can only be used by one person at a time). A harness should first be 

adjusted to the size of the operator. The straps should be adjusted once and for all 

so that the sub-pelvic strap is in position and the back plate is properly positioned 

between the shoulder blades. A harness should be adjusted as close as possible 

to the body, without excess, so as to leave the operator freedom of movement. 

Observe the following steps: (Page 4)
Before use for the first time the user should carry out a comfort and adjustability 

test, in a safe place, to ensure that the harness is the correct size and has been 

adjusted correctly. On a harness the attachement points marked A can accept a fall 

arrest system, the attachment points marked A/2 can be connected together to be 

connected to a fall arrest system. In general, it is recommended to use the back 

attachment point whenever possible because this is the best configuration for the 

human body to absorb forces.
Attachment points that are not marked with either A or A/2 must not be used for 

connecting a fall prevention device.  
The ventral attachment point, as well as the attachment points located at the 

side of the belt are for work positioning only. During use make sure to check all 

fastenings and adjustment elements regularly. A harness should be connected to a 

fall arrest system by EN362 connectors.

The harness anchorage point should be situated above the user and must comply 

with EN 795 (minimum strength: R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN - EN795:1996). 

Make sure that the work is done in such a way as to limit the pendulum effect, as 

well as the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and before each use, 

make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle obstructing the normal 

deployment of the fall arrest system (free space under the user's feet). When 

calculating the arresting distance, it is important to allow for the fact that the 

anchorage system will buckle, should the person it is securing fall. The arresting 

distance is calculated as follows:
•   Height from the lanyard ~ 2 m
•  Fall absorber expansion, resp. self-retracting lifeline/guided type fall arrester 

stopping distance ~ 0.5 – 2 m

•   Lanyard stretch and amount of slip along the body ~ 0.5 m
•   User‘s height ~ 1.8 m
•   Anchorage system deformation ~ 0.5 - 2.5 m
•   Clearance ~ 1 m
The clearance under the user's feet should be a minimum of: refer to the fall arrest 

system manual.
Before and during use we advise you to make the necessary arrangements for 

a safe rescue if the need should arise. Suspension trauma can effect people in 

different ways so it is essential that any rescue should be carried out safely as a 

quickly as possible.
A harness is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under 

the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning! Certain medical condi-

tions may affect user safety, if in doubt, consult your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, 

and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (< -30°C or > 

50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, 

electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system during use, sharp edges, 

friction or cutting, etc.
Check the condition of the harness before every use: visual inspection to check 

the condition of the straps (no signs of cuts, burns or abnormal shrinkage), the 

seams (no visible damage), the metal parts (no deformation or rust) and that the 

connectors work properly (opening/locking). In the event of deformation or doubt 

the harness should be withdrawn from service. After a fall the product must not be 

reused and withdrawn from use (see section VERIFICATION PROCEDURE).

Do not remove, add or replace any component of the harness.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: 

Strap material: polyester and/or polyamide. Buckle material: heat treated steel, 

stainless steel and/or aluminium.
Maximum rated load of the harness 136 kg.

SUITABILITY FOR USE:

The harness must be used as part of a fall arrest system as defined in the product 

data sheet (EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted on the user du-

ring the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (including EN361/EN358/

EN813) is the only body-gripping device that may be used. It may be dangerous to 

create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with 

another safety function. Read the recommendations on using each component in 

the system before use.

VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:

The equipment has a service life of 10 years (in accordance with the annual exa-

mination by a competent inspector), but this duration may increase or decrease 

depending on how it is used and/or the results of annual checks.
The product must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after a fall and 

at least every year by a competent inspector, in order to guarantee its resistance 

and thus the safety of the end-user. The product data sheet should be completed 

(by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and date of next inspection 

must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next 

inspection on the product.

SERVICING AND STORAGE: (Comply strictly with these instructions)

During transport, keep the harness in its packaging, well away from any cutting 

surface. Clean it with water and soap, wipe it with a dry rag and hang it up in a 

well-ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or 

heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have become damp 

during use. The metal parts should be wiped with a cloth impregnated with paraf-

fin oil. Never use bleach or detergents. The harness should be stored in its packa-

ging in a warm, dry, ventilated place, protected from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
