3. Inspection, points to verify
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once every
12 months (depending on current regulations in your country, and your conditions of usage).
Follow the procedures described at www.petzl.com/ppe. Record the results on your PPE
inspection form: type, model, manufacturer contact info, serial number or individual number,
dates: manufacture, purchase, first use, next periodic inspection; problems, comments,
inspector's name and signature.
Before each use
Harnesses
Check the webbing at the attachment points, at the adjustment buckles and at the safety
stitching.
Look for cuts in the webbing, wear and damage due to use, to heat, and to contact with
chemical products... Be particularly careful to check for cut threads.
Verify that the DoubleBack and FAST buckles operate properly. Check the fall arrest indicator.
The indicator shows red if the dorsal attachment point sustains a shock-load greater than
400 daN. Retire the harness if the fall arrest indicator is visible.
Chest-seat harness connector
Make sure the frame, gate, rivet and locking sleeve are free of any cracks, deformation,
corrosion... Open the gate and verify that it closes and locks correctly. The Keylock slot must
not be blocked by any foreign matter (dirt, pebble...).
Consult the details of the inspection procedure to be carried out for each item of PPE at www.
petzl.com/ppe.
Contact Petzl if you have any doubt.
During each use
It is important to regularly monitor the condition of the product and its connections to the other
equipment in the system. Make sure that all pieces of equipment in the system are correctly
positioned with respect to each other.
4. Compatibility
Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application
(compatible = good functional interaction).
5. How to put the harness on
- Be sure to correctly stow the excess webbing (folded flat) in the retainers.
Be careful of foreign bodies which can impede the operation of the FAST buckles (such as
pebbles, sand, clothing...). Verify that the buckles are correctly fastened.
Chest-seat harness connector
Do not use it to attach a lanyard or energy absorber.
ATTENTION DANGER, it must always be used with the gate closed and locked. Its strength is
greatly reduced if the gate is open.
Systematically verify the gate is closed by pressing it with your hand. Contaminants such as
mud, sand, paint, ice, dirty water... can prevent the locking system from working.
Initial adjustment of the dorsal attachment point
This adjustment should be done only once when putting on your harness for the first time.
Have another person help you do it.
Adjust the position of the dorsal attachment point to suit your body shape and size: position it
at the level of the shoulder blades.
Adjustment and suspension test
Your harness must be adjusted to fit snugly to reduce the risk of injury in case of a fall.
You must move around and hang in the harness from each attachment point, with your
equipment, to verify that the harness fits properly, provides adequate comfort for the intended
use and that it is optimally adjusted.
6. Fall arrest harness Z359.1 [2007]
The dorsal attachment point must be connected to a fall arrest system that meets current
standards. Only this attachment point is to be used for connecting a fall arrest system, for
example a mobile fall arrester, an energy absorber...
Fall height limited to 1,8 m (6 feet).
7. Positioning and travel restraint harness
Z359.3 [2007]
The ventral attachment point, the sternal attachment point and the side attachment points on
the waistbelt are designed to either hold the user in position at the work-station, or to prevent
the user from entering an area where a fall is possible.
These attachment points are not designed for fall arrest usage.
Always use the two side attachment points together by linking them with a positioning lanyard
in order to be comfortably supported by the waistbelt.
The lanyard must be kept taut.
8. Anchors
Anchors used for personal fall arrest devices must be of sufficient strength to hold a static load
applied in every direction allowed by the device of at least:
(a) twice the maximum arrest force permitted by the system in use when the system is certified
to ANSI Z359.2. (chapter 7.2.3),
(b) 22.2 kN (5000 lbf) when not certified.
When multiple personal fall arrest devices are attached to an anchor, the minimum strength of
the anchor must be multiplied by the number of devices attached to it.
9. Equipment loop
The equipment loops must only be used to attach and support equipment.
WARNING DANGER, never use equipment loops for belaying, rappelling, tying-in, or anchoring
a person.
10. Supplementary information regarding ANSI
standards
- The instructions for use must be provided to users of this equipment.
- The instructions for use for each item of equipment used in conjunction with this product
