3.6 USE OF FALL ARREST D-RING OR ATTACHMENT ELEMENT: For Fall Arrest applications connect to the Dorsal D-ring
or attachment element on your back, between your shoulder blades. Side D-rings, if present, are for Positioning or
Restraint applications only. Shoulder D-rings are for Rescue or Retrieval applications only. The front Sternal D-ring is for
Ladder Climbing or Positioning. D-rings on a Suspension Seat are for Suspension or Positioning applications only. (See
Section 1.1.).
3.7 MAKING CONNECTIONS: When using a hook to connect to an anchorage or when coupling components of the system
together, ensure roll-out cannot occur. Roll-out occurs when interference between the hook and mating connector causes
the hook gate to unintentionally open and release. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners should be used to reduce the
possibility of roll-out. Do not use hooks or connectors that will not completely close over the attachment object. See
subsystem manufacturer’s instructions for more information on making connections.
3.8 CONNECTING SySTEM COMPONENTS: After fitting the Protecta First Harness, the user may then connect to other
system components. Follow the guidelines in Section 2 and the manufacturer’s instructions included with the component.
When connecting a system component to the dorsal, or other non visible attachment, the connection should be inspected
by another person to ensure a proper connection has been made and the connector’s gate has closed correctly.
Alternatively, where suitable, the system components may be connected prior to donning the harness.
