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
the only attachment point that will operate the Latchways
PRD rescue function.
• C: Plastic breakaway lanyard stowage points. Not a fall arrest
attachment point.
D: Stainless steel toolbag attachment point. Not a fall arrest
attachment point.

(Figure 18).
When the harness is worn for extended periods of time, straps
and adjustment buckles shall be regularly checked to ensure a
snug fit is maintained.
