5F. Initial adjustment of the dorsal attachment point: This adjustment should
be done only once when putting on your harness for the first time. Have
another person help you do it.
The two webbing layers of the dorsal strap (between buckles 2 and 9) must
be taut (no slack).
Be sure to neatly stow the excess webbing (flat - no loops of slack) in the
strap retainer so that it doesn't interfere with your work.
Adjust the position of the dorsal attachment point to suit your body shape and
size. Position it at the level of the shoulder blades. If the dorsal ring is too low
on the back, you will be suspended too far forward on the abdomen. If it is
too high on the back, you will feel a strangling sensation.

Adjustment and suspension test
Your harness must be adjusted to fit snugly to reduce the risk of injury in
case of a fall.
You must move around and hang in the harness from each attachment
point, with your equipment, to verify that the harness fits properly, provides
adequate comfort for the intended use and that it is optimally adjusted.

reduced if the gate is open.
Systematically verify that the gate
is securely locked by pressing it
with your hand. Lock it manually

such as mud, sand, paint, ice,
dirty water, etc. can prevent the
automatic locking system from
working.

FALL ARREST
Fall arrest harness EN 361: 2002
Full body harness for fall arrest, component of a
fall arrest system in accordance with the EN 363
standard (personal fall arrest systems). It must be
used in conjunction with EN 795 anchors, EN 362
locking carabiners, EN 355 energy absorber, etc.
6A. Sternal attachment point
6B. Dorsal attachment point
Use only these points to attach a fall arrest system
(for example a mobile fall arrester, an energy
absorber, or other systems described in the EN 363
standard). For ease of identification, these points are
marked with the letter 'A'.
Clearance: amount of free space below the user
The clearance below the user must be sufficient
to prevent the user from striking any obstacle
in case of a fall. Specific details on calculating
clearance are found in the technical notices for the
other components (energy absorbers, mobile fall
arrester, etc.).
