Waist Belt Buckle
This buckle has to be threaded in a specific manner to
ensure a secure fit. It is only fitted to harnesses that
incorporate a Work Positioning Belt.
Web Retaining Loop
A sewn webbing loop used to
retain the end of a leg strap.
When adjustment has been
finalised, the loop should be
moved as close to the loose end
of the webbing strap as possible.
Plastic Slider
The adjustable leg straps are
fitted with two plastic sliders
used to retain the end of the
strap. When adjustment has been
finalised, one slider should be
moved as close to the three bar
slide as possible and the other to the loose end of the
webbing strap.
Adjustable straps are fitted with
an elastic secured retainer to
retain the end of the strap.
Tool Loops & Swivel Hooks
Loops and swivel hooks are fitted to some waist belts
and are intended for use as attachment points for light
tools or communication equipment. THESE LOOPS /
SWIVEL HOOKS ARE NOT TO BE CONNECTED TO
ANY LANYARD, RETRIEVAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
OR PERSON.
Breathable Top
Breathable tops are fitted to some Harnesses. These are
for comfort only and do not form part of the structure of
the harness.
Waistcoat
Waistcoats are fitted to some Harnesses. These are to
aid the donning process and do not form
part of the
structure of the harness.
Attachment Points
Dorsal ‘D’ Ring and Sternum ‘D’ Ring
The fall arrest attachment points, identified with a letter
‘A’ (see page 1 paragraph 2 ‘Fall Arrest’) are the only
ones to be used to connect you, in the harness, to a fall
arrest system. Although you may have fall arrest lanyards
and other fall arrest attachment devices attached to your
fall arrest ‘D’ ring(s), only one means of attachment
should be connected to your anchorage point at any one
time.
If attaching to the Dorsal 'D' ring of a 'rescue' model,
make sure that the integral overhead rescue attachment
is either retained or moved to the side of the 'D' ring.
