Personal Fall Arrest: The NPH
Harness may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in Fall
Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if used in combination with
equipment explicitly c
for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: The NPH
Harness may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
!
WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.

Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be su
nt clearance
below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall
before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction.
When calculating fall clearance, account for a
MINIMUM 3’ safety factor, deceleration distance,
user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other
applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always work as close to
in line with the anchor point as possible.
Swing fal
ntly increase the
likelihood of serious injury or death in the
event of a fall.

Rescue/Con
ce: The NPH
Harness may be used in Rescue/Con
ce applications.
Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a con
ation or after exposed to a
fall. There are various con
rations of Rescue systems depending on the type of rescue.
Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least
3,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.
Work Positioning: The NPH
Harness may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with
both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side, Shoulder.
