9. USE OF FALL ARREST SYSTEM:
The fall arrest system MUST ONLY be connected to the back attaching element on the harness provided for
the purpose (”D” ring or webbing attachment extension) or to the chest anchorage points (“webbing link” or
“D” link). The chest anchorage points must imperatively be used together. The D-rings on the belt and the
ventral anchorage point must only be used for the attachment of a work positioning or retaining system and
never with a fall arrest system.
During use, check regularly the adjustment and/or attachment points.

Application
The full body harness is used as a component of a personal fall
arrest system. Personal fall arrest systems typically include a
full body harness and a connecting subsystem (energy absorb-
ing lanyard). Maximum arresting force must not exceed 1,800
lbs. Palmer Safety harnesses are rated for 900 lbs. per ANSI
Z359.11-2014. For fall arrest applications connect the fall
arrest subsystem (example: lanyard, SRL, energy absorber,
etc.) to the D-ring or attachment element on your back,
between your shoulder blades.
