The
sternal
buckles
by the "A/2" marking. They must be
height adjusted depending on the use
and the user's morphology.
- If the sternal attachment is too high:
slide the buckles down (f).
- If the sternal attachment is too low:
slide the buckles upwards holding each
buckle an angle of between 25 and 35°
from the strap (g)
- Use the markings to keep the two
sternal buckle positions symmetrical.
The full body harness is correctly
adjusted if :
- All of the straps are correctly adjusted
(neither too tight nor too loose), they
do not cross each other and are not
twisted.
- The dorsal hooking ring is correctly
positioned in line with the shoulder
blades.
- The chest strap is correctly positioned
in the middle of the chest.
- The ends of all of the straps are held

system with other safety components,
verify the compatibility of each of the
components and ensure that all of
the recommendations in the product
instructions
standards pertaining to the fall-arrest
system are applied. - In particular,
ensure that no safety function of any
component is affected by the safety
function of another component and
that they do not interfere with each
other.
are
identified
- A person weighing 140kg or less can
use this harness if the associated fall
arrest systems meet the normative
requirements of stopping a fall with a
mass of at least 140 kg.
- Before every use of a fall-arrest
system, the empty space (clearance)
required under the user must be
verified so that, in case of a fall, there
is no collision with the ground, or with
a fixed or moving obstacle that is within
the fall trajectory.
- Via a visual inspection, verify that the
equipment is in good condition and that
there are no faults: condition of the
straps, seams, adjustment buckles and
rings. Ensure that there is no wear,
cuts, fraying, chafing, deformation,
traces of rust or discoloration and
ensure that the markings are readable
(identification and/or date of validity).
Ensure that the buckles are clean and
that they function properly.
