FIELD OF USE
Along with other tested and certified components, the Full Body Harnesses are used in fall arrest systems. The purpose of this systems is to stop the free
fall of the user, absorbing most of the shock and distributing the remaining force evenly, while holding the users body in a proper position until he or she is
rescued.
The product must be used exclusivelly as a PPEaF (Personal Protective Equipment against Fall), in usual environments with temperatures between -30℃
and +50℃, without potentially explosive atmospheres, far away from flames, sparks or hot metal splash. Avoid contact with sharp edges, electricity,
chemicals, corrosive solutions and substances, excessive heat, oils, paints or any other contaminants. The structures used for anchoring have to meet the
requirements of EN 795-2012, musth have NO sharp edges and must be capable to withstand minimum 12 kN. The anchor point must be located as high
as possible above the user and as close as possible to the vertical axis of the users position, thus reducing the fall distance and prevent pendullum
accidents. The minimum free space below the user (fall clearance) must be ensured to prevent hitting the ground or any obstacles while the fall is arrested.
