2.) Use
Before each use check the integrity of the climbing harness and
check for any damage. For harnesses where the color of the
webbing and the stitching differ only on the surface structure, the
stitching is to be checked especially. If the slightest doubt exists
with regard to the safety of the climbing harness, immediately
eliminate and replace. Each harness should be allocated to one
particular person so that the full history of its use is known to that
individual. Have your harness tested every 12 months by
appropriately specialised personnel. Document the test result in
writing and in an appropriately pertinent manner. Adjust the harness
fit so that your movements are not restricted. There should be room
for two fingers between body/ clothing and harness. Ensure that
you are familiar with the types of fastenings and with length and
size adjustments. The harness strap must never be pulled out of
the buckles. If this does happen, the strap must be reinserted
