
Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the MSA Harness. More frequent inspections are
required in these environments.

Avoid using the MSA Harness adjacent to moving machinery, electrical hazards or abrasive surfaces or
in the presence of excessive heat, open flame or molten metal.

Do not use the harness near energized equipment where contact with high voltage power lines may occur
unless harness is rated to ASTM F887. Metal components of the harness may provide a path for electrical
current to flow, resulting in an electrical shock or electrocution.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
• Chemical hazards, heat, and corrosion may damage the harness. More frequent formal inspections are
required in environments with chemical hazards, heat and corrosion. Other than harnesses constructed
of Kevlar
Use caution when working around electrical hazards, moving machinery, abrasive surfaces, and sharp
edges.
• For harnesses that have Secure-Fit Buckles or Quick Connect Buckles, special care must be taken
around dusty environments, as small particles may prevent proper function of the buckle. (See section 4.1
"Cleaning Instructions".)
• Harnesses constructed of Kevlar
to welding spatter or similar high temperature (temperatures greater than 185 °F) hazards.
• Harnesses that are rated for arc flash protection are specially designed for use by electrical workers that
may be exposed to an electrical arc flash. The following application limitations must be considered and
planned for before using this type of "harness."
In electrical environments, the lanyard with hitch loop must be used to eliminate metal parts. Failure to follow
this warning can result in serious injury or death.
