3.0 Wearing a Full-Body Harness

3.1 Donning a Harness
Full-body harnesses are the only form of body wear to be used for fall protection/fall arrest. It is very
important to have a proper fitting harness throughout the entire course of a work shift. Do not allow
your harness to become loose or slack. The following procedure will describe how to properly "don"
(put on) a harness. The location of the chest, leg and sub-pelvic straps are critical to the optimal
performance of a full-body harness in a fall arrest. (Refer to 3.2 Proper Harness Fit section.)
1
Hold harness
by back D-ring.
Shake harness to
allow all straps to
fall in place.
3
Slip straps over
shoulders so
D-ring is located
in middle of
back between
shoulder blades.
5
Connect chest
strap and position
in midchest area
6" (152mm) to 8"
(203mm) below
the trachea but
not below the
sternum. Tighten
to keep shoulder
straps taut.
7
To remove harness, reverse procedure.

If chest, waist and/
or leg straps are
buckled, release
straps and
unbuckle at this
time.
4
Pull leg strap
between legs
and connect to
opposite end.
Repeat with
second leg
strap. Connect
waist strap, if
present. Waist
strap should
be tight but not
binding.
6
After all straps
have been
buckled, tighten
all webbing so
that harness fits
snug but allows
full range of
movement. Pass
excess strap
through loop
keepers.

Miller Fall Protection recommends
hanging the harness by back D-ring to
help it keep its shape when not in use
and provide the worker with a starting
point when next attempting to don the
harness.
