This notice must be translated (eventually), by the retailer, into the language of the country of use.
For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.
KRATOS SAFETY cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use this
equipment beyond its capabilities!
USE AND PRECAUTIONS:
A harness (h belt) is a piece of personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one person at a time). A
harness should first be adjusted to the size of the operator. The straps should be adjusted once and for all so that the sub-pelvic strap is in position and the back
plate is properly positioned between the shoulder blades. A harness should be adjusted as close as possible to the body, without excess, so as to leave the
operator freedom of movement. Observe the following steps:
Before use for the first time the user should carry out a comfort and adjustability test, in a safe place, to ensure that the harness is the correct size and has been
adjusted correctly. On a harness the attachement points marked A can accept a fall arrest system, anchorage points marked A/2 can be connected together to
be connected to a fall arrest system. In general, it is recommended to use the back anchorage point whenever possible because this is the best configuration for
the human body to absorb forces.
Attachment points that are not marked with either A or A/2 must not be used for connecting a fall prevention device.
On a belt the lateral D-rings are normally used for holding or anchoring while working whereas the ventral point of the belt (when there is one) is used for
suspension at the work station.
The main use for a safety belt:
For work restraint (or extension): combined with a suitable EN358 restraint system (lanyard) to prevent the user from falling.
For work positioning: combined with an EN358, EN354, etc. protection system to prevent the user from entering a zone where there is a risk of falling.
In suspension : coupled with a suitable system for the work to be done, pruning, access by rope, EN341, EN567, etc, to spread the load between the belt and
the thighs.
When engaged in overhanging work, the following should be checked:
- that the lanyard is fixed correctly to the lateral D-rings on the belt via connectors (EN362) and/or the lanyard tensioner (EN358).
- that the length of the lanyard once adjusted does not allow a drop of more than 0.5 m.
- that the lanyard is working in conditions with no sharp edges and with small-diameter structures; consider providing for protective sheathing.
During use make sure to check all fastenings and adjustment elements regularly. A harness should be connected to a fall arrest system by EN362 connectors.
SPECIAL CASE:
harnesses with special marking.
E.g. II2GcT6:
Harness complying with Directive 94/9/CE according to standards NF EN 13463- :2009 and NF EN 13463-5:2003 for use in zone 1, in
potentially explosive atmospheres for gas, working temperature T6. Category II group 2 appliance. The use of a harness in a zone for which it has not been
certified is entirely at the user’s risk. EN1149-5: 2008: Harness serving to release the electrostatic charges that may accumulate on an item of clothing, thus
preventing spark discharges (fire and / or explosion risks) provided that the wearer is connected to the ground (for instance by antistatic clothes and footwear).
ISO15025:2002 and ISO9150:1988
: Harness complying with following standards ISO15025, protection against heat and flame; ISO9150 protection against
splashes of molten metal. The webbing of these harnesses can withstand flame up to 371°C without any damage.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
The harness anchorage point should be situated above the user and must comply with EN 795 (minimum strength: R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN -
EN795:1996). Make sure that the work is done in such a way as to limit the pendulum effect, as well as the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and
before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle obstructing the normal deployment of the fall arrest system (free space under the
user's feet). The clearance under the user's feet should be a minimum of: refer to the fall arrest system manual.
Before and during use we advise you to make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue if the need should arise. Suspension trauma can effect people in
different ways so it is essential that any rescue should be carried out safely as a quickly as possible.
A harness is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person.
Warning!
Certain medical
conditions may affect user safety, if in doubt, consult your doctor.
