Klein Tools Harnesses - Manual (Page 21)

For Fall-Arrest and Retrieval Use Only
■ Harness must be worn so that the fall-arrest
D-ring is centered in back.
■ Attach retrieval V-sling connecting devices that meet
OSHA standards only to the shoulder D-rings. Shoul-
der D-rings are NOT for fall-arrest.
■ Attach fall-arrest connecting devices that
meet OSHA standards only to the rear fall-arrest
D-ring.
■
Fall-arrest anchorage must support a
minimum of 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per attached
worker and be independent of worker support.
■ To use the retrieval function of this harness, attach
the two locking snap hooks of the V-sling only to the
shoulder strap D-rings. Attach rope thimble eye of V-sling
only to a retrieval device meeting OSHA standards.

■ OSHA requires that impact force in a fall NOT
exceed an 1,800 lb. (8kN) limit with a harness.
At a given weight, the longer the free fall, the
greater the resulting impact force. Therefore,
minimize slack in fall-arrest connecting device or
use deceleration unit to stay under 1,800 lbs.
(8kN).

■ Retrieval anchorage must support at least
twice the potential impact load of an employee’s
fall or 3,000 lbs. (13.3kN), whichever is greater.
■ Rig to avoid contact with structures below
in the event of a fall. The free-fall distance
must not exceed 6 ft. (1.8m). If using a deceler-
ation unit, add 3-1/2 ft. (1m) to the free-fall distance
to allow for unit extension.
■
For fall-arrest, always keep anchorage at or above
shoulder height to minimize fall distance.
