4) Using the fixing rings (fig. 14)
On each side of the pelvic belt there is a fixing ring
to EN 358 for fixing a lanyard (to EN 354 or EN 358)
for positioning or retention functions.
In the middle at the front there is a fixing ring to EN
813 for connecting a lanyard (to EN 354 or EN 358)
or a positioning rope (as needed for positioning by

The lanyard must be located and/or adjusted such
that the anchoring point is at or about the height
of the waist.
The lanyard for positioning harnesses must be
kept tight, and free movement must be limited to

SUSPENSION TRAUMA
Hanging immobile in suspension in a harness for
longer periods of time (for example, in cases of
unconsciousness) may cause one's blood flow to
be restricted and eventually lead to a so-called
suspension trauma (also known as harness hang
syndrome).
