Using The Harness - Spanset Clima Harness Instrucciones

USING THE HARNESS

For fall arrest, use the fall arrest points at the front or rear. Always use an energy absorbing
lanyard complying to BSEN 355 (Energy Absorbers.) The letter 'A' on the harness straps
adjacent indicates attachment points for fall arrest. Work positioning links at the waist are not
for fall arrest.
If using the front fall arrest point, ensure that you suspend yourself to ensure that your body
hangs in an upright position after a fall. Re-adjust the harness if necessary.
Work positioning links are only to be used with a Work-positioning lanyard to EN358 (Work
positioning system.)
Always thoroughly inspect all equipment and components before and after fitting, pay particular
attention to the operation of buckles and connectors.
If the harness is to be used for fall arrest, only use with a CE approved fall arrest system.
To connect a system together, refer to the user instructions for each individual part.
1. Ensure that all equipment and components used within the fall arrest system are compatible.
2. Any karabiner, or connector used must comply with EN 362, and be securely locked to prevent
opening.
3. Only connect steel chest and dorsal attachment points (indicated by a letter 'A' symbol) to fall arrest
or work positioning systems.
Any anchorage point used should meet the requirements of EN795 (10kN). We recommend that all
persons using fall-arrest equipment should take care to follow best practice procedures when selecting
anchor points. This means selecting lanyard anchor points at or above shoulder height, wherever
possible, and adjusting the harness correctly. This is to reduce both the physical effects on the body of
the user generated by the arrest of the fall, and the distance fallen. Safe clearance above the hazard
must always be ensured – comply with user instructions for every component. During use protect all
equipment from sharp, or rough edges, and any chemicals. Avoid contact with hot surfaces and
exposure to hot gases such as those from blowlamps or welding torches. If you do work in an
environment that will adversely affect your equipment, regularly examine your equipment during use to
ensure its integrity.
