of the system should comply with the requirements of EN 363 (full fall
arrest systems). Remaining equipment which are anchoring points of
harness must comply with EN 795, Lanyards must comply with EN 354,
Shock absorbers must comply with EN 355, Carabiners must comply
with EN 362.
* Back and Chest D Ring; ( Figure-1 )
Use only back and front D rings of safety harness with other equipment
described in EN 363 ( Shock absorber, lanyard, fall arrest systems).
These points were marked with “
A
” in order to be recognized easily.)
4.2- EN 358:2018 Work Positioning Harness
Always use side D rings located on the back pad with a lanyard as shown
in
Figure-2
Always make sure to place the lanyard at the same level of
your waist or above when positioning is performed.
4.3- Fall Clearance = A+B+C+D
Figure-3 ;
Fall Clearance ( Calculation of fall clearance distance)
Clearance distance should be calculated in the working area for a
possible fall. In case of fall from height, user should be able to adjust the
clearence distance in order not to hit any object or ground.
Fall Clearance
Fall clearance is the height at which a user must attach to an anchorage
to avoid contact with a lower level. In order to calculate required fall
clearance distance the following measurements must be kept in mind.
A :
Length of Fall Arrest System (Lanyard)
B :
Length of the Lanyard after a fall
C :
Height of Suspended user
D :
Safety Factor
5. Product Inspection and Validation
5.1 Before Each Use
Working at height equipment must be used as personalized.
These products must be controled on a regular basis before and after
each use and findings must be recorded into product control form. On
an adequate lighted environment apply following controls by lying the
product down on a flat surface;
* Webbings should be checked for cuts, abrasions, color change, broken
stitches and undue stretching.
* Buckles should be checked for signs of wear, cracks, deformation,
corrosionor other damages. They should function correctly and
smoothly.
* D Rings and other metal parts should be checked for signs of wear,
cracks, deformation, corrosion or other damage.
* Connectors should be checked for sign of wear, cracks, deformation,
corrosion, dirt. The gate and the locking mechanisms should work easily
and without any problem. The gate should open and close completely.
* Labels should be secure and legible.
During the controls if at least one of these deviation is found, usage
of the equipment should be suspended or retired and immediately
send back to producer for detailed inspection. No repair is allowed by
unauthorised person. Only manufacturer directions should be applied.
5.2 During Each Use
When use product with a system , make sure that all pieces of equipment
in the system are correctly positioned and compatible with each other.

belocated above the user or should at least at the waist level of the user.
An attachment point below this level will cause a serious injury or death.
The anchor point must conform to the requirements of the EN 795
standard and the minimum strength of 12 kN.
6.3 Various Situations
* A fall arrest harness is the only device allowed for supporting the body
in a fall arrest system.
* In a fall arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance
under the user before each use, to avoid any collision with the ground or
an obstacle in case of a fall.
* Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit
the risk and the height of a fall.
* When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous
situation may occur if the safety function of one piece of equipment is
affected by the safety function of another piece of equipment.
suspensionin a harness can result in serious injury or death.
