height necessary below the user to ensure safety.
The Clima-Tech harness has been designed specifically
for applications involving suspension for long periods of
time, such as abseil inspection or pole working.

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.
- Ensure that all equipment and components used within
the fall arrest system are compatible.
- Any karabiner, or connector used must comply with EN
362, and be securely locked to prevent opening.
- 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.
WARNINGS
- If working in restraint your system should be set up to
prevent a fall from occurring.
- Persons using this product should be trained/competent
in its use, or be under the supervision of such a person.
- Be aware of all medical conditions that could affect the
safety of the user in normal and emergency use.
