3.2 Proper Harness Fit
It is extremely important that your harness fits and is properly adjusted. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death, and proper connection of both types of straps is essential to fall safety. After
donning a harness, make sure to check:
CHEST STRAP:
trachea but not below the sternum]. If the chest strap is positioned too high, the strap may move upwards
during a fall arrest causing you to run the risk of strangulation. If the chest strap is too low or not connected
at all, you could fall out of your harness during a fall.
LEG STRAPS:
Proper adjustment of the leg straps is critical for safety.
Leg straps should be snug, but not snug to the point that they obstruct
normal blood circulation in the legs. Failure to wear leg straps will not
secure your body within the harness during a fall and could lead to seri-
ous injury or death.
SUB-PELVIC STRAP:
provides support when used for positioning. In a seated position, the sub-
pelvic strap should comfortably provide a "seat" for the buttocks. In the
event of a fall, simply lift up your legs to transfer weight to the sub-pelvic strap.

1. Hold harness by back D-ring. Shake harness to allow all straps to fall in place.
2. If chest and leg straps are buckled, release straps and unbuckle at this time.

shoulder straps over shoulders so the D-ring is located in the middle of the
back between shoulder blades.
4. Pull leg strap between legs and connect to opposite end. Repeat with second
leg strap. Tighten waist strap. Waist strap should be tight, but not binding.
5. Connect chest strap and position in midchest area 6" (152mm) to 8" (203mm)
below the trachea but not below the sternum. Tighten to keep shoulder
straps taut.
6. After all straps have been buckled, tighten all webbing so that harness fits
snug but allows full range of movement. Pass excess strap through loop
keepers.
7. To remove harness, reverse procedure. Hang harness by back D-ring.
