2-5 HOW TO TAKE OFF THE HARNESS
After work, once there is no risk of fall from height anymore, unlock the different
buckles to take off the harness.
3 - USE
3-1 USE INFORMATION
To correctly attach the full body harness to an anchorage point (compliant with
EN 795) and make sure that the work will be performed in a way that it minimizes
as much as possible the risk of fall and reduces the work height, we recommend
that you proceed as follows:
• To connect an energy absorber (compliant with EN 355) to the back attaching
element of the full body harness ( cf. EN 355) or an automatic retractable fall
arrester (compliant with EN 360).
• For the chest attaching element of the fall arrester of the harness, connect a
mobile fall arrester which includes an anchorage support (rigid compliant with.
EN 353-1, flexible compliant with EN 353-2).
ANCHORAGE POINT
If possible, to be used with anchorage devices (conformed to the EN 795 standard
- please refer to the corresponding user instruction) or structural anchor. that is to
say elements fixed to last to a structure (wall, post…).
Check that the anchorage point:
• Offers minimum resistance of 12 kN, for metallic and 18 kN for non-metallic
elements,
• Is situated ideally above the operator, (cf. X).
• Is vertically in line with the working surface: (maximum angle ± 30°),
• Is totally suited to the equipment attaching device
• Has no sharp edges
ATTACHEMENT OF SELF-RETRACTING LIFELINE
Webbing attaching extension enables fast and easy attachment of personal self-
retracting lifelines.
Back attachement point for SRL (webbing attaching extension) is for attaching
the Self-Retracting Device when not connected to an Anchorage Connection
Point for purposes of fall protection. Lanyard Parking Attachments shall never be
used as a Fall Protection Attachment Element.
CARABINER
Connector is compliant with EN 362 standard
• The carabiner must be connected directly to the harness with no intermediary
buckle.
• When the carabiner is used for attachment to an anchorage point, check for
compliance with the recommendations of the “ANCHORAGE POINT” para-
graph.
It is also possible to use a webbing anchor point (EN 795) or an anchoring clamp
(EN 362) to attach oneself to an anchorage point.
WHEN CONNECTING THE CARABINER, MAKE SURE THAT THE
LOCKING SYSTEM IS IN PLACE.
CAUTION:
The carabiner is an essential component for your safety (please refer to the cor-
responding user instruction). We therefore advise you to:
