Additional fall arrest attachments
Additional fall arrest attachment points are provided on some harness variants. These may be
used as attachments for energy absorbing lanyard/ladder climbing equipment and work.
The Latchways PRD rescue facility will operate on the rear attachment point
Work positioning attachments
Some harness variant include side attachment points. These attachments shall only be used with a
suitable work positioning lanyard, adjusted to restrict the wearer's movement to a maximum of 0.6 m.
The intention of this is to allow the user to secure themselves in position to free up hands for work.
Where work positioning is used, this shall always be backed up with a fall arrest system (e.g. energy
absorbing lanyard) attached to the front or rear attachment. A work positioning lanyard should never
be the sole method of protecting the User.
• Connect the karabiner of the energy absorbing lanyard to the fall
arrest attachment point marked
attachment point that will operate the Latchways PRD rescue
function.
• C: Plastic breakaway lanyard stowage points. Not a fall arrest
attachment point.

attachment point.
