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
EHIRUHGXULQJDQGDIWHUDIDOO&RQVLGHUDOOUHTXLUHPHQWVDQGOLPLWDWLRQVVSHFL¿HGLQWKHVHLQVWUXFWLRQV
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

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
RID)DOO$UUHVWV\VWHPGXULQJIDOODUUHVW6HH³7DEOH±3URGXFW6SHFL¿FDWLRQV´IRUKRZPXFKKDUQHVVVWUHWFK
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.
E. D-RING EXTENSIONS: When used, D-ring extensions increase fall clearance requirements by increasing the
amount of free fall present in the Fall Arrest system. The length of the D-ring extension must be added to all fall
clearance requirements as part of the system’s free fall value. If there is an upper limit for free fall within the
system, then system use must be adjusted to remain below that limit. See Table 1 for the length of your D-ring
extension. See the manufacturer instructions of your connecting subsystem for more information on free fall and
fall clearance requirements.
;
Never use D-ring extensions in leading edge applications.
3.3 FASTENING BUCKLES: 3M Harnesses are equipped with a variety of Buckles for fastening and adjusting Leg Straps
and Chest Straps. See Figure 1 for the buckle types present on your harness. Figure 6 illustrates operation of each of
the following buckles:

Procedures for buckling and adjusting the straps on your harness will vary with the harness model. See Sections
3.3 and 3.4 for more information, as well as Figures 6 and 7.
1. Lift up and hold the harness by its Dorsal D-ring. Prevent any harness straps from twisting through the following
steps.
2. Grasp the Shoulder Straps and slip the harness onto one arm. The Dorsal D-ring should be placed on your back.
Ensure that the harness straps are not tangled and that they hang freely. Slip your free arm into the harness and
position the Shoulder Straps on top of your shoulders. The Chest Strap and Chest Buckle will be positioned on
your front when worn properly.
