Using the MSA PRD
Fitting and adjusting the harness (continued)
Note: If adjustment of the shoulder straps is required, remove the
harness and undo the zips on either side of the backpack(Figure
13). Adjust the shoulder straps by sliding the shoulder strap
adjustment buckles and cross strap buckle (where the shoulder
straps cross). Check adjustment by continuing to try on the harness
until the chest strap and connection point are correctly positioned.

• Where included (RH3 harness only), connect the waist belt buckle at
the front, and adjust the strap by pulling the strap through the buckle
to achieve a snug fit (Figure 15). It is essential to regularly check

(Figure 18).
When the harness is worn for extended periods of time, straps and
adjustment buckles shall be regularly checked to ensure a snug fit is
maintained.
Additional fall arrest attachments
Additional fall arrest attachment points are provided on some harness variants. These may be
used as attachments for energy absorbing lanyard/ladder climbing equipment and work.
The MSA PRD rescue facility will operate on the rear attachment point
Work positioning attachments
Some harness variant include side attachment points. These attachments shall only be used with a
suitable work positioning lanyard, adjusted to restrict the wearer's movement to a maximum of 0.6 m.
The intention of this is to allow the user to secure themselves in position to free up hands for work.
Where work positioning is used, this shall always be backed up with a fall arrest system (e.g. energy
absorbing lanyard) attached to the front or rear attachment. A work positioning lanyard should never
be the sole method of protecting the User.
