2F. 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.

Slide the strap retainer so that both layers of webbing are taut

between the two buckles, (2) and (9) (no slack).

Be sure to neatly stow the excess webbing (flat - no loops of

slack) in the strap retainer so that it doesn’t interfere with your

work.

Adjust the position of the dorsal attachment point to suit your

individual body shape and size. Position it at the level of the

shoulder blades. If the dorsal ring is too low on the back, you will

be hanging too far forward when in suspension. If it is too high

on the back, you will feel a squeezing sensation.

2F.

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

(suspension test) 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.

FALL ARREST

Full body harness for fall arrest, component

of a fall arrest system in accordance with

the EN 363 standard (personal fall arrest

systems). It must be used in conjunction

with EN 795 anchors, EN 362 locking

carabiners, EN 355 energy absorber, etc.

3A. Sternal attachment point

3B. Dorsal attachment point

Use only these points to attach a fall arrest

system (for example a mobile fall arrester,

an energy absorber, or other systems

described in the EN 363 standard). For ease

of identification, these points are marked

with the letter ‘A’.

Clearance: amount of free space below

the user

The clearance below the user must be

sufficient to prevent the user from striking

any obstacle in case of a fall. Specific details

on calculating clearance are found in the

technical notices for the other components

(energy absorbers, mobile fall arrester, etc.).
