If the user is in a fall risk area, this product cannot be used alone, it becomes inseparable from a comprehensive fall protection system
(EN363), whose function is to minimize the risk of injury from falls.
Before any use, refer to the recommendations for use for each component of the system. The documentation supplied with each
product must be keeped indefinitely by the user.
This belt (or belt with leg strap or work support belt, or work support lanyard and or restraint harness with integrated lanyard) is a work
support and fall from height prevention system.
WARNING:
THE BELT IS NOT A GRIP BODY DEVICE, ONLY THE HARNESS IS RESERVED FOR THIS FUNCTION (EN361). THE BELT
(OR THIGH BELT, OR SUPPORT BELT, OR SUPPORT LANYARD AND OR RESTRAINT HARNESS WITH INTEGRATED
LANYARD) MUST NOT BE USED AS A FALL ARREST. In case of a fall risk, it is necessary to supplement this system with a
collective or personal restraint or protection device against falls from a height (EN363).
WARNING:
When working in suspension, the user's weight concentrated on the thigh belts causes significant pressure on the femoral arteries
that can cause injury. To guard against this: use a thigh belt (EN358 EN813) with a harness (EN361) designed for this use and follow
the operating instructions of each component.
The belt (or thigh belt, or support belt, or support lanyard) can be incorporated into a harness (EN361). It can be equipped with
connectors (EN362). It can be connected to a lanyard (EN354), a tensioner with a support lanyard (EN358).
In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual.
MATERIALS:
- straps: polyamide, polyester
- metal parts: light alloy, aluminium alloy, steel, galvanized steel,
- plastic parts: polypropylene, PVC, polyethylene
- back, thigh belts: towelling
ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS:
It is recommended to assign each user a belt (or belt with leg strap,or support belt, or support lanyard ).
This PPE can only be used by one person at a time.
During all these operations, be careful not to twist the straps.
In the case of use of a belt incorporated on a harness: slip the straps of the lower part of the harness in the loops positioned on either
side of the belt.
Position the belt on the back, close it with the ventral loops. Thigh belt: position the thigh belts on the back of the thighs, close with the
loops.
Closing and opening of the different types of loops: see diagrams.
The belt should be adjusted to the size of the user: adjust the straps by sliding them into the loops and openings provided for this
purpose. In order not to slip, it should be reasonably tight without compressing the abdomen.
The thigh belts should be adjusted to the size of the user: adjust the straps by sliding them into the loops and openings provided for
this purpose. In order not to slip, they must be reasonably tight without compressing the thighs.
Test the comfort and settings in a safe place to ensure that the thigh belts are perfectly adjusted to the size of the user and
comfortably accompanies his movements.
When the belt is used in a fall prevention device (retained), it must be connected to an anchor point (minimum resistance: 12 kN
(EN795) and located at the user's waist or above the user, in order to reduce to the minimum the potential of fall.
Attach the lanyard (EN354) using the connectors (EN362) or the tensioner with lanyard (EN358) to the side attachment rings.
Adjust the length and tension of the rope with the tensioner so as to provide a stable working position and limit free movement up to a
maximum of 0.6 m. The adjustment is completed, check that any fall is limited to 0.5 m.
During use, the overall system must not be in contact with:
cutting elements, sharp edges and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh chemicals, fire, hot metal, all types of electrical
conductors...
During operation, regularly check the closing and adjustment and/ or fastening elements.
May provide a protective sheath.
For safety reasons and before each use, check:
- that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met
