USE AND PRECAUTIONS:
A harness (harness + belt) is a piece of personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one person at a time).
A harness should first be adjusted to the size of the operator. The straps should be adjusted once and for all so that the sub-pelvic strap is in position and
the back plate is properly positioned between the shoulder blades. A harness should be adjusted as close as possible to the body, without excess, so as to
leave the operator freedom of movement. Observe the following steps:
Before use for the first time the user should carry out a comfort and adjustability test, in a safe place, to ensure that the harness is the correct size and
has been adjusted correctly. On a harness the attachment points marked A can accept a fall arrest system, anchorage points marked A/2 can be connected
together to be connected to a fall arrest system. In general, it is recommended to use the back anchorage point whenever possible because this is the best
configuration for the human body to absorb forces.
Attachment points that are not marked with either A or A/2 must not be used for connecting a fall prevention device.
On a belt the lateral D-rings are normally used for holding or anchoring while working whereas the ventral point of the belt (when there is one) is used
for suspension at the work station.
The main use for a safety belt:
For work restraint (or extension): combined with a suitable EN358 restraint system (lanyard) to prevent the user from falling.
For work positioning: combined with an EN358, EN354, etc. protection system to prevent the user from entering a zone where there is a risk of falling.
In suspension : coupled with a suitable system for the work to be done, pruning, access by rope, EN341, EN567, etc, to spread the load between the
belt and the thighs.
When engaged in overhanging work, the following should be checked:
- that the lanyard is fixed correctly to the lateral D-rings on the belt via connectors (EN362) and/or the lanyard tensioner (EN358).
- that the length of the lanyard once adjusted does not allow a drop of more than 0.5 m.
- that the lanyard is working in conditions with no sharp edges and with small-diameter structures; consider providing for protective sheathing.
During use make sure to check all fastenings and adjustment elements regularly. A harness should be connected to a fall arrest system by EN362
connectors.
SPECIAL CASE: harnesses with special marking.
E.g. II2GcT6: Harness complying with Directive 94/9/CE according to standards NF EN 13463- :2009 and NF EN 13463-5:2003 for use in zone 1,
in potentially explosive atmospheres for gas, working temperature T6. Category II group 2 appliance. The use of a harness in a zone for which it has
not been certified is entirely at the user's risk. EN1149-5: 2008: Harness serving to release the electrostatic charges that may accumulate on an item of
clothing, thus preventing spark discharges (fire and / or explosion risks) provided that the wearer is connected to the ground (for instance by antistatic
clothes and footwear).
