To correctly attach the fall arrest
harness to an anchorage point ( com-
pliant with EN 795 ), we recommend
that you proceed as follows :

To connect an energy absorber
( compliant with EN 355 )to the
back attaching element of the
fall arrest harness ( cf. EN 355 ) or
an automatic return fall arrester (
compliant with EN 360 )

For the chest attaching element
of the fall arrester of the harness,
connect a mobile fall arrester
which includes an anchorage
support ( rigid compliant with.
EN 353-1, flexible compliant with
EN 353-2 )
ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS AS PER
STANDARD EN 358
Element(s) that may be mounted on
a fall arrest harness so that it may be
used as or with a work positioning or
retaining system ( compliant with EN
358 )
In the working position, the adjust-
ment of the retaining lanyard must
not allow a Free movement excee-
ding 0.50m. This lanyard must be kept
taut. ( cf. 11 ).
The work positionning or retaining
system must not be used to stop a fall.
PUTTING ON THE FALL ARREST
HARNESS
Please proceed as follows in order to
put your harness on without diffi culty
(cf. 1) :

Take the harness by the Back 'D'
ring,

Put on the shoulder straps one
after the other,

Pass the thigh straps between
your legs, in order to lock them
into the buckles on either side of
your hips. Be careful not to cross
the thigh straps

Adjust the thigh straps by pulling
or releasing the strap end ( cf.2 )

If your harness is fitted with a
belt, adjust and buckle it ( cf.2 ).
For harnesses equipped with
shoulder strap adjustment, adjust
the shoulder straps one after the
other by pulling on or releasing
the end of the strap,

Attach the thorax strap if present,

Connect the thorax attaching
points of the harness using a
connector ( compliant with EN
362 )
For a fall arrest harness to be totally
effi cient, it must be properly adjusted
(not too tight or too loose). Please
note: harnesses made of elasticised
webbing require a tighter fi t.
Once your harness is adjusted, check
that no webbing is twisted or crossed
over, that all the buckles are correctly
attached and that the back 'D' is situa-
ted at the level of the shoulder blades.
For optimum safety, do not hesitate to
seek help.
USE
The attachment of the fall arrest sys-
tem to the harness MUST be made
SOLELY by the back attaching ele-
ment provided for the purpose ( "D"
link or webbing attaching extension)
( cf. 3 ) or by chest anchorage points
(webbing link or "D" link ) ( cf. 4 & 5 ).
The chest attaching points must im-
peratively be used with two points
at the same time. The belt D-links
and the waist attaching points must
only be used to attach a work posi-
tioning or retaining system and NE-
VER with a fall arrest system ( cf. 6 ).
When connecting a shock-absorbing
lanyard to the dorsal extension strap
on the harness (cf. J ), ensure that the
total length of the lanyard + extension
strap + connector does not exceed
2m. When connecting a shock-absor-
bing lanyard to the dorsal extension
strap on the harness (cf. J ), ensure
that the total length of the lanyard +
extension strap + connector does not
exceed 2m.
During use, check the adjusting and/
or attaching parts regularly.
CHECKING
Before each use, carry out a thorough
visual examination to ensure that the
PPE, as well as any other equipment
that may be attached to it (connec-
tor, lanyard, etc.) is complete. Make
all necessary arrangements for the
implementation of any rescue in total
safety. In the event of your product
being damaged, consult the manu-
facturer or his agent. If you have any
doubts regarding the safe condition
of the product, or if the product has
been used to arrest a fall, it is essential
to your personal safety that the PPE
