3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 OVERVIEW: Full body harnesses are to be used as part of a Fall Protection system. Ensure each component of your Fall
Protection system is installed per the manufacturer instructions.
3.2 PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system before installation. Account for all factors that may affect your safety
before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements and limitations specified in these instructions.
A. ANCHORAGE: Select an anchorage capable of sustaining the static load requirements of the intended Fall Protection
application. See the manufacturer instructions for each component of your Fall Protection system for more information.
The anchorage location should address all requirements specified in these instructions.
B. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where system components may be in contact with, or scrape against, unprotected
sharp edges and abrasive surfaces. All sharp edges and abrasive surfaces should be covered with protective material.
C. CONNECTING SUBSYSTEMS: Connecting subsystems used with the harness must be suitable for your system
application. See the Product Overview and Figure 2 for more information, as well as the manufacturer instructions for
your connecting subsystem.
D. HARNESS STRETCH: Some amount of harness stretch should be expected when using this product as part of a
Fall Arrest system during fall arrest. See “Table 1 – Product Specifications” for how much harness stretch should
be expected when using this product. Harness stretch should be added to all fall clearance requirements for your
system, unless it is already accounted for by the connecting subsystem or another component. See the manufacturer
instructions of your connecting subsystem for more information on fall clearance requirements.
;
Maximum harness stretch is determined by the applicable standard or regulation.
