• In any case of fall arrest use a fall arrest system according EN 

363. If you use a fall arrest system, it must be ensured that 
the necessary free space in the work area beneath the user 
(clear height) of 7 m is guaranteed.

• Retire  and  destroy  the  harness  and  all  other  personal 

protective equipment if involved in a fall.

supervision are allowed to make use of it.

• Users must be aware that poor physical and/or mental health 

can  jeopardise  safety  under  normal  conditions  and  in 
emergencies.

• Prior to first use, the user should carry out a suspension test 

in a safe place that the equipment is of the correct size, has 
sufficient adjustment and is of an acceptable comfort level

safely and effectively. A rescue plan for all work operations is 
recommended.

surfaces, extreme temperatures, excessive ultra violet rays, 
chemical agents, moving machinery, and electrical hazards. 
Exposure to these elements may compromise the integrity of 

the equipment.

for connection of harness suspenders only (Fig 4). Harness
