2.2- Working at height is one of the most dangerous activities that can
lead to serious injuries and death. It is under the responsibility of the user
to learn and apply it in practice of an appropriate techniques and safety
methods.In this regards, this fall arrest harness should be used by only a
trained personnel or under the supervision of such personnel. Improper
use can cause serious injuries and fatal accidents.
2.3- The prevention of falls in this safety belt is a component of a system
and a decline during the user’s purpose is to avoid falling into place. This
enhancement alone is not suitable for working in high, along with the
hardware certified for extension cords (Lanyard), shock absorbers, hooks,
should be used together with a decrease holders.

In case of possible fall from height , clearence distance of the person
should be calculated.As person would not hit any object or ground.
5. Control of product and validation
5.1 Before every single use
Working at height equipment must be personalized. These products must be
controlled regular basis before and after each single usage and findings must
be recorded into product control register sheet. On an adequate lightening
environment, by lying the product on a flat surface, apply following controls;
• Webbings should be checked for cuts, abrasions, color change, broken stitches
and undue stretching.
• Buckles should be checked for signs of wear, cracks, deformation, corrosion
or other damage. They should function correctly and smoothly.
• Dee Rings and other metal parts should be checked for signs of wear, cracks,
deformation, corrosion or other damage.
• Connectors should be checked for sign of wear, cracks, deformation, corrosion,
dirt. The gate and the locking mechanism should work at ease and without any
problem. The gate should open and close completely.
• Labels should be secure and legible.
During the controls if at least one of these deviation is found, usage of the
equipment should be suspended or retired and immediately send back to
producer for detailed inspection. No repair is allowed by unauthorised person.
Only producers directions should be applied.
5.2 During each use
During the working at height if you need to use this product connected with
other systems, make sure that all pieces of equipment in the system are
correctly positioned with respect to each other.
* Keep aware from sharp edges and surfaces. In case of contact with sharp
edges this may damage your product.
6. Supplementary information regarding standard; EN 365
6.1 Rescue Plan
A worker who has been incapacitated by an injury or medical condition and
who is suspended by the full body harness must e rescued immediately. So
you must always have a rescue plan for such emergencies. For this adequately
trained personnel and rescue equipment must be on hand.
6.2 Anchor Point
The anchor point of the system comprises this product should preferably
be located above the user or should at least at the waist level of the user.
An attachment point below this level will cause a serious injury or death.
The anchor point must conform to the requirements of the EN 795 standard
and the minimum strength of it must be 12 kN.
6.3 Various Situation
- A fall arrest harness is the only device allowable for supporting the body
in a fall arrest system.
- In a fall-arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance under
the user before each use, to avoid any impact with the ground or an obstacle
in case of a fall.
- Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit
the risk and the height of a fall.
- When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous situation
can result if the safety function of one piece of equipment is affected by the
safety function of another piece of equipment.
- Users must be medically fit for activities at height. Warning, inert suspension
in a harness can result in serious injury or death.
- The instructions for use for each item of equipment used in conjunction
with this product must be respected.
- The instructions for use must be provided to users of this equipment in
the language of the country in which the product is to be used.

4. Product Use
4.1- EN 361:2002 Fall Arrest Harness
* Full Body Fall Arrest Harness
* Back and Chest D Ring ( Figure - 1)
When full body fall arrest harness is used as fall arrester, all components of the
system should comply with the requirements of EN 363 (full fall arrest systems).
Remaining equipment which are anchoring points of harness must comply with
EN 795, Lanyards must comply EN 354, Shock absorbers must comply with EN 355,
Carabiner must comply with EN 362.
Use only back and front D rings of safety harness with other equipment
described in EN 363 (Shock absorber, lanyard, fall arrest systems). These
points were marked with “ A” in order to be recognized easily.
Fall Clearance
A : Length of Fall Arrest System (Lanyard)
B : Length of the Lanyard after a fall
C : Height of Suspended Worker
D : Safety Factor
Fall clearance is the height at which a worker must attach to an anchorage to
avoid contact with a lower level. In order to calculate required fall clearance
distance the following measurements must be kept in mind.
