5.5.5 Confirmation of Proper Fit:
Confirm torso length adjustment so the shoulder straps are not applying
unnecessary pressure on the shoulders. Worker should be able to move around freely without the harness
causing restriction in movement.
•
Chest strap is six inches below the throat
•
Torso length adjustment does not apply unnecessary pressure on the shoulders or allows leg straps
to sag
•
Dorsal D-ring is in between the shoulder blades
•
Leg straps tightened to allow no more than a flat hand to pass through
