6 ATTENTION
- A full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
- The fall protection system must only be connected to the harness anchor points identified with the capital letter "A". Iden-
tification "A/2", indicates the need to join the two points showing the same identification together. It is forbidden to connect
the system to a single anchor point identified as "A/2".
- Connection to the anchor point and other equipment must be done through connectors in conformity to EN 362.
- For use with fall arresters in conformity to EN 353-1, EN 353-2 it is recommended to connect the equipment to the front
anchor point on the harness. For use with energy absorbers EN 355 or fall arresters EN 360 it is recommended to connect
the equipment to the back anchor point on the harness.
- Before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of the equipment, to ensure
that it is in a serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is used.
