Full Body Harness Instruction Manual
If there is a risk of a fall or if the anchorage point is below the attachment points on the harness, it is
essential to use a lanyard with an energy absorber. Before using a shock absorbing lanyard, ensure
that there is sufficient fall clearance below the user to prevent any collision with the structure or the
ground.

potential contact with a lower level. See Illustration 6.
Donning the Full Body Harness
Full Body Harnesses are the only approved form of body wear used for Fall Protection/Fall Arrest.
Periodically adjust your harness to ensure proper fit at all times while in use. Do not allow harness to
become loose or slack. The following steps describe how to properly
put on a harness. To remove harness, reverse this
procedure. See Illustration 7.
Step 1: Hold harness by grasping back D-ring.
Shake harness to allow all straps to fall into place.
Step 2: If chest, waist and/or leg straps are
fastened, release straps and unfasten at this time.
Step 3: Slip straps over shoulders so D-ring is
located in the middle of your back, between
shoulder blades.
Step 4: Pull leg strap between legs and fasten strap
to connector. Repeat with second leg strap. Connect
waist strap, if present. Waist strap should be snug,
but not binding.
