Uses
Use in a fall arrest system (EN 361)
The dorsal (D) and the sternal (F) attachment points on the harness - marked with the letter
"A" - are suitable for connections to fall arrest systems that allow the user to reach areas or
positions in which there is a risk of falling and, in the case of a fall, limit the length and the force
of impact on the user's body.
Examples of correct use with the BACK UP fall arrest device (fi g. 6 and 7).
Use in a restraint, work positioning and rope access system (EN 813)
The ventral attachment point (G) on the harness is suitable for connecting to Working Lines
(WL) on a rope access system using that allows the user to reach and leave the work station,
under tension or suspended.
Caution:
- this connection is not suitable for fall arrest;
- the maximum load applicable to the harness for this type of use is 150 kg;
- the anchor point must comply with EN 795 and be positioned above the user;
- the connecting lanyard must always remain taut or with a maximum slack of 0.6 metres (fi g. 8);
- do not connect the LOTOR (H) to the ventral attachment point (G), but to the webbing loop (I)
of the belt (fi g. 9).
Examples of devices that can be connected to the ventral attachment point (G), using a
connector with a ring nut, for rope progression (fi g. 10).
Use In Working Positioning and Restraint System (EN 358)
The lateral (L) and rear (M) attachment points are suitable for connecting to:
- restraint systems that prevent falls from a height by limiting the user's movements (fi g. 11);
- work positioning systems that allow the user to work supported, under tension or suspended,
and to avoid free falling (fi g. 12).
Caution:
- the anchor point must comply with EN 795 and be positioned above the user;
- the connecting lanyard must always remain taut.
