• Select the most suitable anchor point on the harness
to receive your fall arrest system based on the work to
be performed (Figures 7.a to 7.g).
NOTE: Wherever possible, the anchor point will
be located above the user. The anchor point must have
a minimum strength of 12 kN or comply with EN 795.
Before using the harness:
• Perform an initial suspension test in a safe place,
to ensure that the harness is properly adjusted and
that it provides an acceptable level of comfort for the
intended use.
• Check the connection to an anchor point or structure
is made using an EN 362 connector.
• Verify that the fall arrest system is attached to the
harness using an EN 362 connector on a connection
point marked with an "A" or two attachment points
marked "A/2".
• The attachment points of the HT harness marked "A/2"
are symmetrical and must be linked together by using
an EN 362 connector: see figures at the beginning of
this manual, the whole thing must be connected to the
fall arrest system.
DANGER: Points not marked "A" or "A/2" are
points to secure to the worksite or suspension points.
They should not be used for fall protection.
DANGER: Check the correct locking of all the
buckles and connectors before use. Figure 6.a and 6.b.
DANGER: Check that the clearance is suffi cient
and that there is no risk of collision with an obstacle
in the path of the fall. The clearance is that of the fall
protection system used (refer to the manual of the fall
arrest system used) to which you should add 1m for
safety: see Figure 6.c.
DANGER: Before and during use, you should
consider how any rescue could be provided effectively
and safely within less than 15 minutes. Beyond this
time, the operator is in danger.
Using when suspended:
• Work in suspension is reserved for trained operators
with specific authorisation for such use.
• The height of intervention, the presence of the drop
can have traumatic effects. The operator must have
been declared medically fit for this type of intervention.
• When using a harness equipped with a thigh strap
belt, the operator must change the position of the
straps on the thighs to avoid the risk off cutting off the
blood supply and experiencing pins and needles.
• When in suspended use of a harness equipped with a
thigh strap belt, it is imperative to regularly check and
adjust attachment items during use.
Setting up the work seat:
• Hook the two connectors (EN 362) at the end of
the work seat straps to the suspended work system
(figure 8.b).
• Adjust the strap length for optimum comfort while
working.
• Always use the work seat in conjunction with a fall
arrest harness (Figures 8.c – 8.d).
Attaching the work seat for walking:
• Attach the work seat to the harness belt with the
plastic buckle (Figure 8.a).
DANGER: before using a work seat, make sure
it is compatible with the associated equipment. If in
doubt, contact TRACTEL
