CAMP Safety RAPIDA Mode D'emploi page 37

Before and during use, check the correct closure and right adjustment of all the buckles and connectors Main material:
polyester, metal parts.
The text below shows the different kinds of harnesses: one harness can incorporate one or more of those kinds (chart.A).
Allowed combinations of sit harness and chest harness are exclusively the ones reported in in chart.A.
EN 361: FULL BODY HARNESSES Fall arrest full body harnesses are used in connection with other components of a fall
arrest system. The free distance below the working surface must be calculated in order to avoid any impact in the event of
a fall. Attachment points for fall arrest are exclusively the one(s) placed on the chest part of the body and identified with "A"
(or A/2+A/2) marking.
EN 813: SIT HARNESSES Sit harnesses are used in rope access systems or work positioning systems. The maximum
rated load of the CAMP Safety sit harnesses is reported on the label. Prolonged suspension can result in injuries on the
human body, and can result in death in case of inert suspension of the user. Regular pauses from the suspension must be
done in order to avoid any dangerous effect on the human body. Attachment point for suspension is exclusively the ventral
one.
EN 358: BELT FOR WORK POSITIONING Work positioning belts are used with a positioning lanyard to secure the
worker to the structure. The anchor point must be positioned at the belt height or above and/or to prevent the person from
reaching zones with falling hazard. Attachment points for work positioning and restraint can be ventral, side or back. Side
points must be always used together.
EN 813 sit harnesses and EN 358 belts for work positioning can not be used alone for fall arrest purposes. It may be
necessary to integrate them with systems for fall protection: collective (i.e. safety nets) or individual (fall arrest systems
conforming to EN 363).
For the correct use of gear loops, see fig.11. For the installation of a chest ascender, where possible, see fig.12. For the
installation of foot-loops for the prevention of suspension trauma (HelpStep ref.2062), see fig.13 (supplied separately).
For the use of an additional rigid seat for improving the comfort in suspension, see fig.14.
Certified rescue equipment and trained rescue workers are necessary for intervention in case of a fall, in order to
minimize the risk of suspension trauma.
GT Turbo
GT Turbo is equipped with a EN 12842/B Turbochest ascender ref.2256 (fig.8-fig.12). It is possible to replace a damaged
Turbochest by opening the quick link, then close it with a proper torque. Do not remove the quick link, do not connect other
devices to the quick link, do not use the quick link for other purposes.
ANSI/ASSE use
Certified ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 models (U.S. standard) are reported in chart.A and the standard number is marked on the
label of the harness.
