• Select the most suitable anchor point on the harness
to receive your fall arrest system based on the work to
be performed (Figures 7.a to 7.f).
NOTE:Whereverpossible,theanchorpointwill
be located above the user. The anchor point must have
a minimum strength of 10 kN or comply with EN 795.
Before using the harness:
•  P erform an initial suspension test in a safe place,
to ensure that the harness is properly adjusted and
that it provides an acceptable level of comfort for the
intended use.
• Check the connection to an anchor point or structure
is made using an EN 362 connector.
• Verify that the fall arrest system is attached to the
harness using an EN 362 connector on a connection
point marked with an "A" or two attachment points
marked"A/2".
•  T heattachmentpointsoftheHTharnessmarked"A/2"
are symmetrical and must be linked together by using
anEN362connector:seefi  guresatthebeginningof

fall arrest system.
DANGER: Points not marked "A" or "A/2" are
points to secure to the worksite or suspension points.
They should not be used for fall protection.
DANGER: Check the correct locking of all the
buckles and connectors before use. Figure 6.a and 6.b.
DANGER: Check that the clearance is suffi  cient
and that there is no risk of collision with an obstacle in
the path of the fall. The clearance is that of the fall
protection system used (refer to the manual of the fall
arrest system used) to which you should add 1m for
safety: see Figure 6.c.
DANGER: Before and during use, you should
consider how any rescue could be provided effectively
and safely within less than 15 minutes. Beyond this
time,theoperatorisindanger.
Using when suspended:
• Work in suspension is reserved for trained operators
withspecifi  cauthorisationforsuchuse.
•  T he height of intervention, the presence of the drop
can have traumatic effects. The operator must have
beendeclaredmedicallyfi  tforthistypeofintervention.
• When using a harness equipped with a thigh strap
belt, the operator must change the position of the
straps on the thighs to avoid the risk off cutting off the
blood supply and experiencing pins and needles.
• When in suspended use of a harness equipped with a
thighstrapbelt,itisimperativetoregularlycheckand

Setting up the swing seat:
• Hook the two connectors (EN 362) at the end of
the harness straps to the suspended work system
(fi  gure8.b).
•  A djust the strap length for optimum comfort while
working.
•  A lways use the harness in conjunction with a fall
arrest harness (Figures 8.c – 8.d).
Attaching the swing seat for walking:
• Attach the swing seat to the harness belt with the
plastic buckle (Figure 8.a).

them for fall arrest systems.
• A/2: the marking "A/2" on the attachment points
designates them for fall arrest systems to be coupled
symmetrically to each other with an EN 362 connector
to make one single attachment point.
• M: designates an attachment point for securing at the
workstation (358).
• S: designates a suspension attachment point for work
on tensioned rope (EN 813).
