Rear Fall Arrest ‘D’ Ring
The rear fall arrest 'D' ring is
retained within a Dorsal plate
where the shoulder straps
cross over at the back of the
harness. This 'D' ring is
identified with a letter ‘A’ as it
is for fall arrest attachment.
(see page 1 paragraph 2 ‘Fall Arrest’) On some models,
the webbing 'slides' through the 'D' Ring on the Dorsal
Plate and from time to time may need to be re-adjusted.
Front Fall Arrest ‘D’ Ring
If the harness has a front fall arrest ‘D’ ring, it will be on
the chest strap and the shoulder straps should be
adjusted so that it sits on your sternum / breast bone.
Rescue ‘D’ ring
If the harness has an integral
overhead rescue attachment, it
must not be used for fall arrest,
other than in conjunction with a
retractable type fall arrester to
BSEN 360 anchored above the
user. The attachment should be either folded and stored
in the Velcro pocket on the waist coated versions or
attached with the Velcro loop to the chest strap at the
back. The attachment must always be behind the head,
never in front.
Work Positioning Attachment Point ‘D’ Ring
Use only with an approved
Work Positioning Lanyard to
support the user whilst working
at height when needing a hands
free environment. NEVER detach
yourself from the fall arrest
equipment when using the work position attachment
point 'D’ rings.
Fitting Your Harness
The following instructions cover all harnesses in the P&P
MK1, MK2 & MK3 Range and all variations of fitting.
Some parts such as adjustable chest straps, waist belts
and integral overhead rescue attachments are only fitted
to specific models.
The sequence for the MK1, MK2 & MK3 Range of Fall
Arrest harnesses is very similar, except the way in which
it is performed.
The harness is normally worn outside of your clothing.
Make sure that your clothing is correctly fitted and that
you secure all zips and buttons. Remove ALL items from
your pockets, hanging items such as key clips, mobile
phone or radio.
Double check that there are no items positioned
between the webbing and your body. Such items could
cause discomfort or injury in the case of a fall.
Warning
This Harness must be used by persons who are medically fit to
do so. If you have any medical condition, are recovering from
any medical condition or suffer from any physical or mental
disability you must seek professional medical advice before
using this Harness.
Preparation
1. Carry out a pre-use check of the harness before
proceeding. If any faults are found or you are not
100% sure of the harness’s condition or suitability,
STOP.

any ‘D’ ring.
3a. Undo any three bar slide and square link fitted to
