ATTACHING THE HARNESSH.1ATTACHING FALL ARRESTS SYSTEMS – EN361Fall arrest system can be attached only to the fall arrest attachment point of full body harness EN 361 marked with capital letter A (H.1.1). Loops or D-rings marked with a half of letter must be linked together when attached to the fall arrest system (H.1.2). It is strictly forbidden to attach a fall arrest system to a single loop or D-ring marked with a half of letter A (H.1.3).I.PERIODIC INSPECTIONSSafety harness must be inspected at least once every 12 months from the date of first use. Periodic inspections must only be carried out by a competent person who has the knowledge and training required for personal protective equipment periodic inspections. Depending upon the type and environment of work, inspections may be needed to be carried out more frequently than once every 12 months. J.MAXIMUM LIFESPAN OF THE EQUIPMENTThe maximum lifespan of the harness is 10 years from the date of manufacture. ATTENTION: The harness maximum lifetime depends on the intensity of usage and the environment of usage. Using the harness in rough environment, marine environment, contact with sharp edges, exposure to extreme temperatures or aggressive substances, etc. can lead to the withdrawal from use even after one use.K.WITHDRAWAL FROM USEThe harness must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed when it has been used to arrest a fall or it fails to pass inspection or there are any doubt as to its reliability.!L.THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USERS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT:!personal protective equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.!personal protective equipment must not be used by a person with medical condition that could affect the safety of the equipment user in normal and emergency use.!a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.!being suspended in PPE (e.g. arresting a fall), beware of suspension trauma symptoms.!to avoid symptoms of suspension trauma, be sure that the proper rescue plan is ready for use. It is recommended to use foot straps. !it is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's D.DONNING THE HARNESS:D.1Hold the harness by dorsal D-ring. Shake the harness to allow all straps to fall in place.D.2Put on the shoulder straps one after one, take care do not twist them.D.3Connect and tighten the chest strap.D.4Connect and tighten the leg straps. The straps should fit tight around the legs.D.5Connect and tighten the waist strap. The strap should fit tight around the waist.D.6Adjust the shoulder straps so the harness fits the body, not too tight. Free ends of the straps must be kept by the plastic keepers.D.7Adjust the height of the leg straps by the rear adjustment straps.D.8Back attachment D-ring must be positioned between shoulder blades. D.9Front attachment attachment linked loops must be centred on lower chest. Front sit harness linked loops must be centred on the waist. Every periodic inspection must be recorded in the Identity Card of the equipment.prior written consent.!any repair shall only be carried out by equipment manufacturer or his certified representative.!personal protective equipment shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.!personal protective equipment should be a personal issue item.!before use ensure about the compatibility of items of equipment assembled into a fall arrest system. Periodically check connecting and adjusting of the equipment components to avoid accidental loosening or disconnecting of the components.!it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.!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.!during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any damages, excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting, especially take into consideration:-in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;-in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors; -in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element, splices;-in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting elements;-in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;- in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws, connector, energy absorber;- in metalic components (connectors, hooks, anchors) - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting.!after every 12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to carry out periodical detailed inspection. The periodic inspection must be carried out by a competent person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out also by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. !in case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types of retractable fall arresters the annual inspection can be carried out only by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. !regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the users which depends upon the continued efficiency and durability of the equipment.!during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking. Don’t use the equipment with the illegible marking.!it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in language of the country in which the product is to be used.!personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe use and not used again until confirmed in writing by equipment manufacturer or his representative after carried out the detailed inspection.!personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed (or another procedures shall be introduced according detailed instruction from equipment manual) when it have been used to arrest a fall.!a full body harness (conforming to EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used, in a fall arrest system.!in full body harness use only attachment points marked with a capital letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system.!the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user . The shape and construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the equipment. Minimal static strength of the anchor device/point is 12 kN. It is recommended to use certified and marked structural anchor point complied with EN795!it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion of use the fall arrest system, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of the free space should be taken from instruction manual of used equipment.!there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have to be observed during equipment utilization, especially: - trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges, - any defects like cutting, abrasion, corrosion, - climatic exposure, - pendulum falls, - extremes of temperature, - chemical reagents, - electrical conductivity.!personal protective equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of !moisture-proof textile or foil bag or cases made of steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.!the equipment can be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the manufacture of the equipment.
