Figure 12 illustrates typical harness connections when working at heights, including work positioning and rescue 

operations. When using a snap hook to make a connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur (see figure 3). Do not use snap 

hooks or carabiners that will not completely close over the anchor point. This includes traditional overhead anchor point 

tie off, SRL housing attachment to dorsal D-ring, and 100% tie off. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with 

each system component. 

Should the Safewaze Arc Flash Harness be exposed to an Arc Flash event and/or the force of a fall, or shows damage 

consistent with the effects of a fall, it must be IMMEDIATELY removed from service. Equipment must then be disposed of 

(see section 18.5).

Safewaze Arc Flash Full Body Harnesses are engineered to withstand an Arc Flash event and continue to provide Fall 

Protection capability for the user.  An Arc Flash event is a phenomenon where a flashover of electric current leaves its 

intended path and travels through the air from one conductor to another, or to ground.  The results are often violent and 

when a human is in close proximity to the Arc Flash, serious injury and even death can occur.
