USER INFORMATION
User Information shall be provided to the user of the product. NFPA Standard
1983, incorporated into the 2022 edition of NFPA 2500 recommends
separating the User Information from the equipment and retaining the
information in a permanent record. The standard also recommends making
a copy of the User Information to keep with the equipment and that the
information should be referred to before and after each use.
Additional information regarding life safety equipment can be found in NFPA
1500 and NFPA 1858 and NFPA 1983, incorporated in the 2022 edition
of NFPA 2500 and the ANSI Z359 and CSA Z259 series of Fall Protection
standards.
LIFESPAN / INSPECTION / RETIREMENT
The equipment has a lifespan of 10 years from the date of manufacture shown
on the product label. The type of use, intensity of use, and environment of
use are all factors in determining serviceability of the equipment. A single
exceptional event can be cause for retirement after only one use, such
as exposure to sharp edges, extreme temperatures, chemicals, or harsh
environments. Any concerns about its safe use is cause for retirement.
Remove retired equipment from service and destroy it to prevent further use.
A device must be retired when it fails to pass inspection; it fails to function
properly; it has illegible product labels or markings; it shows signs of damage
or excessive wear; it has been subjected to shock loads, falls, or abnormal
use; it has been exposed to harsh chemical reagents; it has an unknown
usage history; you have any doubt as to its condition or reliability; or when
it becomes obsolete due to changes in legislation, standards, technique or
incompatibility with other equipment.
Inspect the equipment according to your department’s policy for inspecting
life safety equipment. CMC recommends a detailed inspection by a
competent person at least once every 12 months depending on current
regulations and conditions of use. Record the date, inspector name,
and inspection results in the equipment log as well as any other relevant
information to track the usage history.
When inspecting the equipment, conrm it is functioning properly and verify
the presence and legibility of labels and markings. Check soft components
for cuts, worn or frayed areas, broken bers, soft or hard spots, discoloration,
or melted bers. Check the stitching for pulled threads, abrasion, or breaks.
Check hardware for excessive wear or indications of damage such as
deformation, corrosion, sharp edges, cracks, or burrs. Minor nicks or sharp
spots may be smoothed with emery cloth or similar. Check for the presence
of dirt or foreign objects that can affect or prevent normal operation Conrm
all pieces of equipment in the system are correctly positioned with respect to
each other and monitor the condition of the equipment and its connections.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the proper operation of the equipment.
Visual Indicator: Prior to donning the harness, inspect the visual indicator
located in proximity of the dorsal attachment point. If the visual indicator is
damaged or shows signs of deployment, remove the harness from service.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER USE
The ATOM Harness is designed for optimum performance, dependability,
and comfort in rescue and work positioning applications. Its low-prole
construction and supportive architecture provides excellent mobility on rope
and on the ground. When using the ATOM Harness, follow best practices
for avoiding high impact falls. Always keep the safety line (belay) above the
wearer and keep the slack in the safety line to a minimum. To ensure the
safety and comfort of your ATOM Harness, make sure it is properly sized and
adjusted per the instructions below. Depending on the conguration of the
harness, not all attachment elements outlined in this user guide apply.
CMC warns against using the equipment around moving machinery and
electrical hazards.
Rescue: NFPA 1983, incorporated into the 2022 edition of NFPA 2500
provides specications for a rescue harness. All front and back D-ring
connection points are dynamically and statically tested, and independently
certied to this standard.
Rope Access Work: A harness selected for rope access work needs
comfort and support very similar to a rescue harness, which is not available
in a harness designed solely for fall arrest applications. Depending on the
applicable regulations, fall protection may also be required.
Fall Protection: Harnesses designed for fall protection must meet the
requirements of ANSI Z359.11 and CSA Z259.10. All attachment points are
independently certied to these standards. When using this equipment the
user shall have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it when
using the harness for fall arrest.
To prevent roll out when using carabiners to attach to an attachment
point, use only locking models. If using manual locking carabiners, verify
that they are locked before use. It is the users responsibility to verify
equipment compatibility with components and sub-systems before use.
Consult with the current edition of ANSI/ASSP Z359.11 / CSA Z259.10 and
applicable state or provincial regulations governing occupational safety. The
user should consider all component extensions and allow clearance for an
arrest to take place a safe distance away from the ground or structure. A
harness stretch factor of up to 18 inches (46 cm) should be factored in while
calculating fall clearance.
PUTTING ON YOUR HARNESS
• Loosen all the harness straps for easy donning, including waist belt, leg
loops, and shoulder strap (disconnect quick-connect buckles if present).
• Hold shoulder straps to the side and step through the waist belt, putting
each foot into the proper leg loop.
• Position the waist belt and ventral attachment point above the waistline.
• Tighten the waist belt by pulling both sides simultaneously until the waist
is snug, and the front D-ring is centered.
• Position the dorsal attachment point level with shoulder blades and
adjust back strap.
• Position the sternal attachment point as high as possible and adjust
shoulder straps on each side.
• Tighten the rear leg straps, this is especially important when using the
dorsal point.
• Position the leg loops with padding along back and side of legs.
• Tighten leg loops, leaving about a nger width of space between the leg
loops and the legs.
• Before use, conrm all straps are tight, stow excess web in elastic
keepers and apply load to the sternal attachment point and conrm
position of all D-rings.
A suspension test should be carried out in a safe place prior to putting the
harness in service. A suspension test will verify that the harness is the correct
size, has sufcient adjustment and is of an acceptable comfort level for the
intended use.
WARNING: Make sure the straps are snug. This increases the comfort
when sitting in the harness and helps prevent the quick-connect buckles
from disconnecting. When wearing the harness, double-check the
buckles, adjusters, and t of the harness immediately prior to relying on
it for support.
LANYARD PARKING ELEMENT
If using a fall arrest lanyard or Y-lanyard, connect the lanyard snaphook to
the parking element located on the shoulders of the harness when not in use
(unless otherwise connected to an anchorage point). The lanyard parking
element of the harness is intended to disengage in the event that the lanyard
is hung up or tangled during a fall or during normal use creating a hazard.
CARRYING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
During use, carrying, storage, and transport keep the equipment away
from acids, alkalis, exhaust emissions, rust and strong chemicals. Do not
expose the equipment to direct heat, ame, or high temperatures or other
adverse environmental conditions. If the equipment becomes soiled, it can
be washed in cold water with a mild detergent that is safe for use with nylon
and polyester. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use a pressure washer. Air dry in
temperatures between 10° C and 30° C. Do not dry the equipment in direct
sunlight or using an automatic dyer. Lubricate moving parts as needed.
During storage and transport, protect the equipment from heat, direct
sunlight, moisture, chemicals, and external loads or impacts. Do not store
where equipment may be exposed to moist air, particularly where dissimilar
metals are stored together. Consult with manufacturer in case of any doubt.
