Fig. 7 Upon adjustment but before using the harness
you should try being suspended in it in the planned
usage situation. The harness must fit comfortably. To
increase comfort, the use of a seat board is recom-
mended. When properly selected (Fig. 12 size table)
and adjusted the suspension test must not result in
hindered breathing and/or pain. When the harness
has been applied, its metal parts should not contact
genitals or arm pits. Free suspension in the harness
must not lead to excessive arching of the back, ten-
sioning of the body, pressure on the genitals, loins or
arm pits. Women's lymphatic vessels of the breast
should not be constricted if at all possible.

ANCHOR POINT
In order to avoid high loads and swinging falls in the
event of a fall, anchor points for belay purposes must
always be as vertical as possible above the person to
be belayed. The lanyard/ anchor device from the
anchor point to the person secured should always be
kept as taut as possible. Slack ropes must be avoid-
ed! The anchor point must be designed in such a way
that, when fixing the PPE, no effects can occur which
reduce the stability and it is not damaged during use.
Sharp edges, ridges and crushing can seriously
impair the stability. These should be covered, where
necessary, using suitable auxiliary equipment. The
anchor point and the anchoring must be able to with-
stand the expected loads in a worst-case scenario.
Even if energy absorbers (to EN 355) are used, the
anchor points must be specified for a fall arresting
force of up to 12 kN, also refer to EN 795
When using a lanyard (fall arrest system), please note
that the maximum overall length of the lanyard in-
cluding shock absorbers and connecting compo-
nents must not exceed 2.0m.
