Appendix A – ANSI/ ASSE Z359.11
ANSI/ASSE Z359 Requirements for Proper Use and
Maintenance of Full Body Harnesses
(note: these are general requirements and information
provided by AnSi/ASSe Z359, the manufacturer of this
equipment may impose more stringent restrictions on
the use of the products they manufacture, see the man-
ufacturer's instructions.)
1. it is essential that the users of this type of equipment
receive proper training and instruction, including de-
tailed procedures for the safe use of such equipment in
their work application. AnSi/ASSe Z359.2, Minimum
Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Pro-
tection Program, establishes guidelines and require-
ments for an employer's managed fall protection pro-
gram, including policies, duties and training; fall
protection procedures; eliminating and controlling fall
hazards; rescue procedures; incident investigations; and
evaluating program effectiveness.
2. Correct fit of a Full Body Harness is essential to prop-
er performance. Users must be trained to select the size
and maintain the fit of their Full Body Harness.
3. Users must follow manufacturer's instructions for
proper fit and sizing, paying particular attention to en-
sure that buckles are connected and aligned correctly,
leg straps and shoulder straps are kept snug at all times,
chest straps are located in the middle chest area and leg
straps are positioned and snug to avoid contact with the
genitalia should a fall occur.
4. Full Body Harnesses which meet ANSI/ASSE Z359.11
are intended to be used with other components of a Per-
sonal fall Arrest system that limit maximum arrest forces
to 1800 pounds (8 kn) or less.
5. Suspension intolerance, also called suspension trau-
ma or orthostatic intolerance, is a serious condition that
can be controlled with good harness design, prompt
rescue and post fall suspension relief devices. A con-
scious user may deploy a suspension relief device allow-
ing the user to remove tension from around the legs,
freeing blood flow, which can delay the onset of suspen-
sion intolerance. An attachment element extender is not
intended to be attached directly to an anchorage or an-
chorage connector for fall arrest. An energy absorber
must be used to limit maximum arrest forces to 1800
pounds (8 kn). the length of the attachment element ex-
tender may affect free fall distances and free fall clear-
ance calculations.
6. Full Body Harness (FBH) Stretch, the amount the FBH
component of a personal fall arrest system will stretch
and deform during a fall, can contribute to the overall
elongation of the system in stopping a fall. it is important
to include the increase in fall distance created by FBH
Stretch, as well as the FBH connector length, the settling
of the user's body in the FBH and all other contributing
factors when calculating total clearance required for a
particular fall arrest system.
7. When not in use, unused lanyard legs that are still at-
tached to a Full Body Harness D-ring should not be at-
tached to a work positioning element or any other struc-
tural element on the Full Body Harness unless deemed
acceptable by the competent person and manufacturer
of the lanyard. this is especially important when using
some types of "y" style lanyards, as some load may be
transmitted to the user through the unused lanyard leg if
it is not able to release from the harness. the lanyard
