USE (continued)
2. Correct t of a Full Body Harness is essential to proper performance.
Users must be trained to select the size and maintain the t of their Full
Body Harness.
3. Users must follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper t and sizing,
paying particular attention to ensure that buckles are connected and
aligned correctly, leg straps and shoulder straps are kept snug at all
times, chest straps are located in the middle chest area and leg straps are
positioned and snug to avoid contact with the genitalia should a fall occur.
4. Full Body Harnesses which meet ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 are intended to be
used with other components of a Personal Fall Arrest system that limit
maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN) or less.
5. Suspension intolerance, also called suspension trauma or orthostatic
intolerance, is a serious condition that can be controlled with good
harness design, prompt rescue and post fall suspension relief devices.
A conscious user may deploy a suspension relief device allowing the
user to remove tension from around the legs, freeing blood ow, which
can delay the onset of suspension intolerance. An attachment element
extender is not intended to be attached directly to an anchorage or
anchorage connector for fall arrest. An energy absorber must be used to
limit maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN). The length of the
attachment element extender may affect free fall distances and free fall
clearance calculations.
6. Full Body Harness (FBH) Stretch, the amount the FBH component of
a personal fall arrest system will stretch and deform during a fall, can
contribute to the overall elongation of the system in stopping a fall. It is
important to include the increase in fall distance created by FBH Stretch,
as well as the FBH connector length, the settling of the user’s body in the
FBH and all other contributing factors when calculating total clearance
required for a particular fall arrest system.
ANSI/ASSE Z359.11-2014 American National Standard Safety Requirements
for Full Body Harnesses
7. When not in use, unused lanyard legs that are still attached to a Full Body
Harness D-ring should not be attached to a work positioning element or
any other structural element on the Full Body Harness unless deemed
acceptable by the competent person and manufacturer of the lanyard.
This is especially important when using some types of “Y” style lanyards,
as some load may be transmitted to the user through the unused lanyard
leg if it is not able to release from the harness. The lanyard parking
attachment is generally located in the sternal area to help reduce tripping
and entanglement hazards.
8. Loose ends of straps can get caught in machinery or cause accidental
disengagement of an adjuster. All Full Body Harnesses shall include
keepers or other components which serve to control the loose ends of
straps.
9. Due to the nature of soft loop connections, it is recommended that
soft loop attachments only be used to connect with other soft loops
or carabiners. Snaphooks should not be used unless approved for the
application by the manufacturer.
10. Dorsal – The dorsal attachment element shall be used as the primary fall
arrest attachment, unless the application allows the use of an alternate
attachment. The dorsal attachment may also be used for travel restraint or
rescue. When supported by the dorsal attachment during a fall, the design
of the Full Body Harness shall direct load through the shoulder straps
supporting the user, and around the thighs. Supporting the user, post
fall, by the dorsal attachment will result in an upright body position with
a slight lean to the front with some slight pressure to the lower chest.
Considerations should be made when choosing a sliding versus xed

9
USE (continued)
dorsal attachment element. Sliding dorsal attachments are generally easier
to adjust to different user sizes, and allow a more vertical rest position
post fall, but can increase FBH Stretch.
Sections 11-16 provide additional information concerning the location and use
of various attachments that may be provided on this FBH.
11. Sternal – The sternal attachment may be used as an alternative fall arrest
attachment in applications where the dorsal attachment is determined to
be inappropriate by a competent person, and where there is no chance to
fall in a direction other than feet rst. Accepted practical uses for a sternal
attachment include, but are not limited to, ladder climbing with a guided
type fall arrester, ladder climbing with an overhead self-retracting lifeline
for fall arrest, work positioning and rope access. The sternal attachment
may also be used for travel restraint or rescue.
When supported by the sternal attachment during a fall, the design
of the Full Body Harness shall direct load through the shoulder straps
supporting the user, and around the thighs. Supporting the user, post fall,
by the sternal attachment will result in roughly a sitting or cradled body
position with weight concentrated on the thighs, buttocks and lower back.
Supporting the user during work positioning by this sternal attachment will
result in an approximate upright body position.
If the sternal attachment is used for fall arrest, the competent person
evaluating the application should take measures to ensure that a fall
can only occur feet rst. This may include limiting the allowable free fall
distance. It may be possible for a sternal attachment incorporated into
an adjustable style chest strap to cause the chest strap to slide up and
possibly choke the user during a fall, extraction, suspension, etc. The
competent person should consider Full Body Harness models with a xed
sternal attachment for these applications.
12. Frontal – The frontal attachment serves as a ladder climbing connection
for guided type fall arresters where there is no chance to fall in a direction
other than feet rst, or may be used for work positioning. Supporting the
user, post fall or during work positioning, by the frontal attachment will
result in a sitting body position, with the upper torso upright, with weight
concentrated on the thighs and buttocks. When supported by the frontal
attachment the design of the Full Body Harness shall direct load directly
around the thighs and under the buttocks by means of the sub-pelvic
strap.
If the frontal attachment is used for fall arrest, the competent person
evaluating the application should take measures to ensure that a fall
can only occur feet rst. This may include limiting the allowable free fall
distance.
13. Shoulder – The shoulder attachment elements shall be used as a pair, and
are an acceptable attachment for rescue and entry/retrieval. The shoulder
attachment elements shall not be used for fall arrest. It is recommended
that the shoulder attachment elements be used in conjunction with a yoke
which incorporates a spreader element to keep the Full Body Harness
shoulder straps separate.
14. Waist, Rear – The waist, rear attachment shall be used solely for travel
restraint. The waist, rear attachment element shall not be used for fall
arrest. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to use the waist, rear
attachment for purposes other than travel restraint. The waist, rear
attachment shall only be subjected to minimal loading through the waist of
the user, and shall never be used to support the full weight of the user.

Approved American National Standard ANSI/ASSE Z359.11-2014 Annex
A- Normative American National Standard Safety Requirements for Full Body
Harnesses
Note: This information from the Z359.11 standard is required to be included
in the instruction manual for the end user:
Users of personal fall arrest systems shall, at a minimum, comply with all
manufacturer instructions regarding the inspection, maintenance and storage
of the equipment. The user’s organization shall retain the manufacturer’s
instructions and make them readily available to all users. See ANSI/ASSE
Z359.2, Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection
Program, regarding user inspection, maintenance and storage of equipment.
INSPECTION
1. In addition to the inspection requirements set forth in the manufacturer’s
instructions, the equipment shall be inspected by the user before each use
and, additionally, by a competent person, other than the user, at interval
of no more than one year for:
• Absence or illegibility of markings.
• Absence of any elements affecting the equipment form, t or function.
• Evidence of defects in, or damage to, hardware elements including
cracks, sharp edges, deformation, corrosion, chemical attack, excessive
heating, alteration and excessive wear.
• Evidence of defects in or damage to strap or ropes including fraying,
unsplicing, unlaying, kinking, knotting, roping, broken or pulled stitches,
excessive elongation, chemical attack, excessive soiling, abrasion,
alteration, needed or excessive lubrication, excessive aging and excessive
wear.
2. Inspection criteria for the equipment shall be set by the user’s
organization. Such criteria for the equipment shall equal or exceed the
criteria established by this standard or the manufacturer’s instructions,
whichever is greater.
3. When inspection reveals defects in, damage to, or inadequate
maintenance of equipment, the equipment shall be permanently removed
from service or undergo adequate corrective maintenance, by the original
equipment manufacturer or their designate, before return to service.
USER INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT
USE (continued)
15. Hip – The hip attachment elements shall be used as a pair, and shall be
used solely for work positioning. The hip attachment elements shall not be
used for fall arrest. Hip attachments are often used for work positioning
by arborists, utility workers climbing poles and construction workers
tying rebar and climbing on form walls. Users are cautioned against using
the hip attachment elements (or any other rigid point on the Full Body
Harness) to store the unused end of a fall arrest lanyard, as this may
cause a tripping hazard, or, in the case multiple leg lanyards, could cause
adverse loading to the Full Body Harness and the wearer through the
unused portion of the lanyard.
16. Suspension seat – The suspension seat attachment elements shall be used
as a pair, and shall be used solely for work positioning. The suspension
seat attachment elements shall not be used for fall arrest. Suspension
seat attachments are often used for prolonged work activities where the
user is suspended, allowing the user to sit on the suspension seat formed
between the two attachment elements. An example of this use would be
window washers on large buildings.

11
Your harness should be thoroughly inspected before each use. Inspections
should be recorded and the details maintained in an equipment inspection log.
Keep these instructions and the equipment inspection log with the harness so
that the user can read and make important inspection entries.
A sample equipment inspection log is provided in these instructions but you
may need to make your own with the same criteria. Any harness that does
not pass inspection should be immediately retired from service and destroyed
or serious injury or death could occur. Detailed inspection criteria must be
established by the user according to his needs.
Inspections should include at a minimum:
• Examination of all load-bearing components for signs of damage.
• Inspection of all stitching for signs of wear, fraying, breaks, loosened/
pulled threads, or cuts.
• Inspection of webbing for signs of cuts, burns, discoloration, broken
bers, hard/soft sections, or excessive wear.
• Examination of buckles, screw links, and attachment points for proper
function.
• Examination of all metal components for corrosion, damage or sharp
edges.
• Inspection of webbing rigging to ensure that harness has been properly
assembled.
• Inspection for any signs of damage from heat, chemical exposure, or
other environments.
• Inspection of in-service date.
• Inspection of date of manufacture.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Approved American National Standard ANSI/ASSE Z359.11-2014 Annex
A- Normative American National Standard Safety Requirements for Full Body
Harnesses
Note: This information from the Z359.11 standard is required to be included
in the instruction manual for the end user:
1. Maintenance and storage of equipment shall be conducted by the user’s

PRODUCT LIFETIME
Retiring your harness is a judgment that is the responsibility of the user and
should be based largely on results of frequent inspections, environment and
use history.
If you have any questions regarding retirement of your harness you can
contact PMI.
• DO NOT attempt to alter, make any modications to or attempt to repair
this harness. Any attempt to do so will void the warranty and the safety
of the harness could be compromised.
WASHING: Cleaning Your Harness - If your harness is dirty, you can wash
it by hand or in a front-loading commercial washing machine. Use a PMI®
Laundry bag for keeping the harness from getting tangled/damaged when
washing in a machine. Wash harness by using cool to warm water <30°C
(<86°F) with a mild soap. PMI recommends using PMI® Rope Soap;
otherwise non-detergent soaps are best. Soap used should not contain any
bleaching agents.
DO NOT:
• DO NOT use top loading washing machines with agitators because
they tangle/ damage the harness severely and can cause damage to the
machine.
• DO NOT use a commercial dryer to dry the harness.
• DO NOT leave a wet harness on a surface where contaminants may
leach (such as concrete).
• DO NOT expose the harness to exhaust fumes.
DISINFECTING: Disinfection of a harness may occasionally become necessary,
such as when exposed to bloodborne pathogens. To disinfect a harness
from suspected bloodborne pathogens, PMI recommends following the NFPA
standard for cleaning rescue gear of bloodborne pathogens. Keeping in mind
that undiluted household bleach is known to damage nylon, NFPA calls for
using a diluted solution of household bleach to clean rescue gear. Add 60
ml of household bleach per 4 liters of tap water. That’s about one quarter
(1/4) cup of bleach per gallon of water. Be aware that some commercial
bleach solutions are stronger than the recommended 1.5% that is typical for
household bleach. Soak the gear in the diluted solution for ten minutes, then
rinse thoroughly with tap water.
The rinsing cycle is critical to prevent any damage to the nylon from the
bleach. It is good to soak the gear in tap water for the same amount of time it
soaked in the bleach solution. Never store gear while it is wet.
The use of bleach over a long period of time, in repeated uses, can cause
damage to bers such as nylon. Disinfection of the harness using bleach
should be used sparingly and only when needed.
DRYING: Dry your harness in a clean, dry area out of direct sunlight. For best
results, it should be hung up to air dry in a low-humidity environment. DO
NOT leave a wet harness on a surface where contaminants may leach (such
as concrete).
WRITE IT DOWN: Remember to record the cleaning on the Equipment Log.
KEEP IT CLEAN: Store your harness in a clean, dark, dry environment, away
from exposure to acids, other harmful chemicals, noxious fumes or other
abuse.

PRODUCT LIFETIME (continued)
RETIREMENT CRITERIA
Regardless of history and use, a PMI® Avatar Deluxe Harness should be retired
if it is greater than 10 years from the date of manufacture. The actual service
life of PMI® Avatar Deluxe Harness may be much less than 10 years and
should be based largely on the results of frequent inspection and use history.
Material integrity and product performance characteristics will degrade over
time. PMI recommends that you thoroughly inspect your equipment before
each use and at a minimum at least once every 6 months.
Specialized training may be required to become competent with inspecting
equipment and knowing when to retire your equipment. Good judgment, as
well as proper care and inspection, are key to making personal decisions
regarding the retirement of your harness.
A signicant event with the potential to change the product should prompt
you to consider retiring it immediately even if before or after only one
use. Factors that may affect the safety of a harness depends on the type
and frequency of usage (light to heavy), the environment including harsh
environments with extreme temperatures, marine (salty or highly corrosive)
environments, chemical contact, contact with sharp edges, etc. Textiles can
become dry and brittle, plastics can weaken in areas, small cracks can form,
etc. The best way to know when a change has occurred is to implement
frequent detailed inspections before each use.
Use the following Retirement Criteria as guidelines for retiring your harness:
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness where the stitching is cut, torn,
excessively worn or visibly damaged.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness that is greater than 10 years old from
the date of manufacture regardless of history and use.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness whose strength may have been
compromised during use.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness which is subjected to a major fall or
uncontrolled or excessive loading.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness with a manufacture date which is
greater than 10 years old, regardless of history and usage.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness whose history and past usage you
are uncertain about.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness that has been exposed to excessive
heat, direct ame or excessive abrasion.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness that has been exposed to liquids,
solids, gases, mists, or vapors of any chemical or other substance that
can deteriorate the harness materials.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any harness that does not pass inspection when
following the inspection procedures in these instructions.
CUT ANY RETIRED HARNESS to discourage future use and discard it entirely.
A retired harness should not be stored, kept or maintained in such a way that
it could inadvertently be used again.
