absorbers must comply with EN 355 , Carabiner must comply with EN 362.
* Dorsal D Ring and Sternal A/2 Loops; (Figure- 1)
Use only dorsal D ring or both A/2 loops 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.
The maximum rated load of the sit harness is 100 kg.
Warning: The adjustment and the tightness of the buckles and webbings
should be checked regularly during use.
4.2 Fall Clearance Distance = A+B+C+D
Fall Clearance (Calculation of fall clearance distance Figure- 2)
Clearance distance should be calcutlated in working area for a possible
fall. In case of fall from height, user should be able to adjust the clearence
distance in order not to hit any object or ground.
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:
A : Length of Fall Arrest System (Lanyard)
B : Length of the Shoch Absorber after a fall
C : Height of Suspended Worker
D : Safety Factor
5 Product Control and Validation
5.1 Before Every Single Use
Before the first use, the user should carry out a comfort and adjustability
test in a safe place to ensure that the correct size selection is made and the
sit harness has sufficient adjustment and is of an acceptable comfort level
for the intended use;
Working at height equipment must be used as personalized. These products
must be controled on regular basis before and after each single use and
findings must be recorded into product control form. On an adequate
lighted environment apply following controls by lying the product down
on a flat surface;
* 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 damages. They should function correctly and smoothly.
* D 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 mechanisms should work easily
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 manufacturer directions should be applied.
5.2 During Each Use
When use product with a system , make sure that all pieces of equipment in
the system are correctly positioned and compatible with each other.
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 be rescued immediately.
So you must always have a rescue plan for such emergency situations. 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 collision 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.
