is essential to use a lanyard fitted with an energy absor-
ber Before using an energy absorber incorporated into
a lanyard, check for a minimum space clearance below
the user's feet as necessary, to prevent any collision
with the structure or the ground (please refer to the
corresponding user instruction). With a weight of 100
kg and a fall factor of two (worst case scenario), the air
clearance D is the stopping distance H (2L+1.75m) plus
an additional distance of 1 m. (cf. VIII). Important: if the
harness is equipped with an extension strap, take this
into account when calculating the clearance distance.
3-2 WARNING
Park points can resist to a load of 2 kg. If the load
connected to these park points exceed the maximal
load or if you pulled down sharply on the park point
ring, the ring will then come off the plate. If the ring
comes off the plate, it is still possible to attach it back
to the plate without any impact on the safety of the
harness reliability.
For a fall arrest harness to be totally efficient, it must be
properly adjusted (cf II-IV)
3-3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
"whenever a fall protection system is used, a plan must
be established to deal with any emergency that may
happen (eg a rescue after a fall)"
4 - AFTER USE INFORMATION
4-1 CLEANING
The harness should be cleaned with water and a
mild soap (neutral PH). Never use acid, solvents or
any solvent-based product,
Leave to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from
sources of heat. Store the harness away from
humidity and ultraviolet light,
Avoid any atmosphere that is corrosive or excessi-
vely hot or refrigerated.
4-2 PERIODIC EXAMINATION
These instructions must be kept with the product. Fill
in the identification sheet and enter the markings in-
formation. This periodic examination, which verifies
the effectiveness and strength of the equipment is in-
dispensable in guaranteeing the user's safety. It is your
responsibility to make sure that this sheet is updated
and stored. In the absence of any written record on
the identification sheet, the product will be conside-
red not to have been maintained and no warranty will
be granted by the manufacturer. A qualified person
must examine this equipment at least once each year,
in strict compliance with the instructions of the ma-
nufacturer and the examination must be recorded on
the attached sheet and on the label provided on the
harness for this purpose. The frequency of the exami-
nation must be increased in accordance with regula-
tions in case of heavy usage or in difficult environmen-
tal conditions. The legibility of the product markings
must be checked.
4-3 LIFESPAN
The maximal life of PPE that is predominantly textile
is evaluated as being 10 years after the date of manu-
facture. However, the following factors may reduce the
performance of the product and its lifespan: intensive
use, incorrect storage, improper use, fall arrest, defor-
mation, contact with chemical products (alkali and
acid), exposure to sources of heat > 60°C, exposure
to high sources of cold <-30 ° C, high exposure to ul-
traviolet rays, dirty environment, or very wet environ-
ment. ( cf. 9 ).
