FIG. 17
Dorsal D-Ring and Back Plate: Check D-rings for
deformation, cracks, breaks, rust or corrosion and rough
or sharp edges. Check that the D-ring pivots freely as
shown in (fig. 17). Inspect for any unusual wear, frayed
or cut fibers or broken stitching on or near the D-ring
attachments. The back plate should also be inspected
for cracks, excessive wear or other signs of damage.
FIG. 18
Buckles and Adjusters: Inspect each buckle and adjuster
for distortion. The outer bars and center bars must be
straight as shown in (fig. 18). Pay special attention to
corners and attachment points at the center bar. Buckles
and adjusters should have no corrosion, deformation, pits,
burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking or rust.
FIG. 19A
Fall Arrest Indicators: Inspect each of the fall arrest
indicators located just below the dorsal D-ring for signs
that the full body harness has been subjected to the
forces of a fall arrest. The fall arrest indicator labels are
designed to display an "OK" prior to fall arrest (fig. 19A)
and tear to expose a warning once a fall arrest has
occurred (fig. 19B). If the fall arrest indicator label
has been deployed as shown in (fig. 19B),
IMMEDIATELY REMOVE HARNESS FROM SERVICE,
DESTROY AND DISCARD.
WARNING! IF THE ERGODYNE FULL BODY HARNESS
FAILS ANY ASPECT OF THE INSPECTION PROCESS,
IMMEDIATELY REMOVE FROM SERVICE.

Pass Through Buckles: To connect the pass-through
buckles, angle the male buckle so it is positioned to pass
up and through female buckle (fig. 20). Fully insert male
buckle and then pull lightly so that it lies flat on top of
female buckle (fig. 21).
Friction Adjusters: Friction adjusters enable strap
lengths to be adjusted to ensure proper fit of the full
body harness. With the webbing fed through the buckle,

slide the buckle down on the strap to tighten or slide the
buckle up on the strap to loosen (fig. 22).
Dorsal D-Ring: Adjust the dorsal D-ring by sliding the
back plate up or down on the webbing straps (fig. 23).
The dorsal D-ring must rest between the middle of the
shoulder blades.
