Fall arrest harness EN 361: 2002
Full body harness for fall arrest are component of a fall arrest system in accordance with the EN 363 standard (personal fall arrest systems). It must be used in
conjunction with EN 795 anchors, EN 362 locking carabiners, EN 355 energy absorber, etc.. Only dorsal and sternal points may be used to attach a fall arrest system, for
example a mobile fall arrester, an energy absorber, or other system described in the EN 363 standard. For ease of identification, these points are marked with the letter
‘A’ or ‘A/2’ (half of attachment point – you have to connect two of them for proper use).
EN 358: 1999 harness for work positioning
(if inculded)
These attachment points are designed to either hold the user in position at the work station, or to prevent the worker from entering a zone where a fall is possible. These
attachment points must only be used to attach to a restraint or work positioning system, maximum fall height: 0.5 m. These attachment points are not designed for fall
arrest usage. It may be necessary to supplement work positioning or travel restraint systems with collective or personal fall arrest systems. Always use the two side
attachment points together by linking them with a positioning lanyard in order to be comfortably supported by the waistbelt. Regularly check the effectiveness of the
system during use (adjustment and attachment elements)
ATTENTION
Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application (compatible = good functional interaction). Equipment used with your
harness must meet current standards in your country (e.g. EN 362 carabiners).
