- Any work at heights is risky; only individuals with perfect
health and in good physical condition should work at heights
and confront any emergency situations.
- This equipment is a vital safety instrument; any incorrect use
can cause mortal danger to the user in case of a fall.
- Please note that in a fall-arrest system, only an EN361-
compliant fall-arrest harness may be used for gripping a body.
- These fall arrest harnesses are not suitable for work in
suspension (risk of orthostatic shock).
- Lateral attachment D rings of the belt are intended for work
positioning (ref NUS55C) and must not be used for fall arrest.
A belt should not be used if there is a foreseeable risk that the
user will be suspended or exposed to uncontrolled tension by
the belt. It may be necessary to supplement work positioning
or restraint systems with fall protection devices of a collective
(e. g. safety net) or individual type (fall arrest systems according
to EN 363).

DESCRIPTION (#2 - #2B1 - #2B2):
These fall-arrest harnesses are classified as personal protective
equipment (PPE) for falling from heights, and are compliant
with the EN 361:2002 standard.
When a work positioning belt is integrated to a harness (ref
NUS55C) it complies to standard EN358:2018 to ensure a
restraint work position and prevent a fall.
Their configuration and the range of several sizes (#3) guarantee
good comfort of use and maximum safety. This full body
harnesses (including work positioning belt) are manufactured
using 44 mm wide polyester straps, sewed to each other and
connected by metal fastening and adjustment buckles.
The fall-arrest hooking points are identified by a marker "A"
(Dorsal hooking points and sternum hooking point). Any
ring that is not identified as "A" cannot be used as a fall-arrest
hooking point.
If the harness integrates a work positioning belt, the lateral
attachment points (#1-13) without identification are intended
only for work positioning (#2-B2 EN 358 : 2018).

the straps if required.
