2. Compatibility
   Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application (compatible =good functional interaction)

3. Harness setup
   Be sure to correctly stow the excess webbing (folded flat) in the keepers. Beware of foreign objects that could impede the operation of the FAST LT PLUS buckles (e.g. pebbles, sand, clothing…). Verify that they are securely fastened. Adjustment and suspension test Your harness must be adjusted to fit snugly to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a fall. In a safe environment, you must move around and hang in the harness from each attachment point, with your equipment, to verify that the harness fits properly, provides adequate comfort for the intended use and that it is optimally adjusted. To ensure adequate protection, this harness must be properly sized and adjusted to fit the user. See the diagrams on adjustment and the function test. Do not use this harness if you are unable to adjust it to fit properly. Replace it with a different size or model of harness.

4. Fall arrest harness. Sternal attachment point. Dorsal attachment point. Textile dorsal attachment point for self-retracting device The sternal attachment point, the dorsal attachment point or the textile dorsal attachment point for self-retracting device must be connected to a fall arrest system that meets current Only these attachment points are to be used for connecting a fall arrest system, for example a mobile fall arrester, an energy absorber… For ease of identification, these points are marked with the letter ‘A’. Be sure to always use the two loops together. Specifics on the textile dorsal attachment point for self-retracting device This attachment point is designed only for connecting a self-retracting fall arrest system. Be sure to follow the recommendations for use of the system provided by the manufacturer. Clearance: amount of free space below the user The free space below the user must be sufficient to prevent the user from hitting an obstacle in the event of a fall. For the clearance calculation, take into account the length of any connectors that will have an effect on the fall distance. Specific details on calculating clearance are found in the Instructions for Use of the other components (energy absorbers, mobile fall arrester…). In a fall, the fall arrest attachment point elongates. This elongation (approximately 0.5 ml maximum) must be taken into account for the clearance calculation.
   The sternal attachment point or the dorsal point may be used for rescue.

5. Rescue

6. Fall arrest lanyard connector-holder
   A. To be used only as a connector-holder for unused lanyard
   B. In the event of a fall, the connector-holder releases the lanyard-end connector, to avoid impeding deployment of the energy Warning: this is not a fall arrest attachment point.

7. Equipment loops must only be used for WARNING – DANGER: never use equipment loops for belaying, rappelling, tying in, or anchoring a person.

8. ANSI/ASSE Z359 requirements for proper use and maintenance of full-body harnessesNote: these are general requirements and information provided by ANSI/ASSE Z359; the manufacturer of this equipment may impose more stringent restrictions on the use of the products they manufacture, see the manufacturer’s instructions.

9. It is essential that the users of this type of equipment receive proper training and instruction, including detailed procedures for the safe use of such equipment in their work application. ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, minimum requirements for a managed fall protection program, establishes guidelines and requirements for an employer’s managed fall protection program, including policies, duties and training, fall protection procedures, eliminating and controlling fall hazards, rescue procedures, incident investigations and evaluating program

10. Correct fit of a full-body harness is essential to proper performance. Users must be trained to select the size and maintain the fit of their full-body

11. Users must follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper fit and sizing, paying particular attention to ensure that buckles are connected and aligned correctly, leg straps and shoulder straps are kept snug at all times, chest straps are located in the middle chest area, and leg straps are positioned and snug to avoid contact with the genitalia should a fall occur.

12. Full-body harnesses that meet ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 are intended to be used with other components of a personal fall arrest system that limit maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN) or

13. Suspension intolerance, also called suspension trauma or orthostatic intolerance, is a serious condition that can be controlled with good harness design, prompt rescue, and postfall suspension relief A conscious user may deploy a suspension relief device allowing the user to remove tension from around the legs, freeing blood flow, which can delay the onset of suspension intolerance. An attachment element extender is not intended to be attached directly to an anchorage or anchorage connector for fall arrest. An energy absorber must be used to limit maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN). The length of the attachment element extender may affect free fall distances and free fall clearance calculations.

14. Full-body harness (FBH) stretch, the amount the FBH component of a personal fall arrest system will stretch and deform during a fall, can contribute to the overall elongation of the system in stopping a fall. It is important to include the increase in fall distance created by FBH stretch, as well as the FBH connector length, the settling of the user’s body in the FBH, and all other contributing factors when calculating total clearance required for a particular fall arrest system.

15. When not in use, unused lanyard legs that are still attached to a full-body harness D-ring should not be attached to a work positioning element or any other structural element on the full-body harness unless deemed acceptable by the competent person and manufacturer of the lanyard. This is especially important when using some types of Y-style lanyards, as some dangerous shock] load may be transmitted to the user through the unused lanyard leg if it is not able to release from the harness. The lanyard parking atfachment is generally located in the sternal area to help reduce tripping and entanglement hazards.

16. Loose ends of straps can get caught in machinery or cause accidental disengagement of an adjuster. All full-body harnesses shall include keepers or other components which serve to control the loose ends of straps.

17. Bue to the nature of soft loop connections, it is recommended that soft loop attachments only be used to connect with other soft loops or carabiners. Snap hooks should not be used unless approved for the application by the manufacturer.

18. Dorsal
    The dorsal attachment element shall be used as the primary fall arrest attachment, unless the application allows the use of an alternate attachment. The dorsal attachment may also be used for travel restraint or rescue. When supported by the dorsal attachment during a fall, the design of the full-body harness shall direct load through the shoulder straps supporting the user, and around the thighs. Supporting the user, post fall, by the dorsal attachment will result in an upright ody position with a slight lean to the front with some slight pressure fo the lower chest.
    Considerations should be made when choosing a sliding versus fixed dorsal attachment element. Sliding dorsal attachments are generally easier to adjust to different user sizes, and allow a more vertical rest position post fall, but can increase FBH stretch.

19. Sternal
    The sternal attachment may be used as an alternative fall arrest attachment in applications where the dorsal attachment is determined to be inappropriate by a competent person, and where there is no chance to fall in a direction other than feet first. Accepted practical uses for a sternal attachment include, but are not limited to, ladder climbing with a guided type fall arrestor, ladder climbing with an overhead selfretracting lifeline for all arrest, work positioning, and rope access. The sternal attachment may  also be used for travel restraint or rescue. When supported by the sternal attachment during a fall, the design of the full-body harness shall direct load through the shoulder straps supporting the user, and around the thighs. Supporting the user, post fall, by the sternal attachment will result in roughly a sitting or cradled body position with weight concentrated on the thighs, buttocks and lower back. Supporting the user during work positioning by the sternal attachment will result in an approximate upright ody position. If the sternal attachment is used for fall arrest, the competent person evaluating the application should take measures to ensure that a all can only occur feet first. This may include limiting the allowable free fall distance. It may be possible for a sternal attachment incorporated into an adjustable style chest strap to cause the chest strap to slide up and possibly choke the user during a fall, extraction, suspension… The competent person should consider full-body harness models with a fixed sternal attachment for these applications.

20. Frontal
    The frontal attachment serves as a ladder climbing connection for guided type fall arrestors where there is no chance to fall in a direction other than eet first, or may be used for work positioning. Supporting the user, post fall or during work positioning, by the frontal attachment will result in a sitting body position, with the upper torso upright, with weight concentrated on the thighs and buttocks. When supported by the frontal attachment, the design of the full-body harness shall direct load directly around the thighs and under the buttocks by means of the sub-pelvic strap. If the frontal attachment is used for fall arrest, the competent person evaluating the application should take measures to ensure that a fall can only occur feet first. This may include limiting the allowable free fall distance.

21. Shoulder
    The shoulder attachment elements shall be used as a pair. and are an acceptable attachment for rescue, and entry/retrieval. The shoulder attachment elements shall not be used for fall arrest. It is recommended that the shoulder attachment elements be used in conjunction with a yoke which incorporates a spreader element to keep the full-body harness shoulder straps separated.

22. Waist
    The waist attachment shall be used solely for travel restraint. The waist, attachment element shall not be used for fall arrest. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to use the waist attachment for purposes other than travel restraint. The waist attachment shall only be subjected to minimal loading through the waist of the user, and shall never be used to support the full weight of the user.

23. USER_ INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT
    Users of personal fall arrest systems shall, at a minimum, comply with all manufacturer instructions regarding the inspection, maintenance and storage of the equipment. The user’s organization shall retain the manufacturer’s instructions and make them readily available to all users.
    See ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, Minimum requirements for a managed fall protection program regarding user inspection, maintenance and storage of equipment.
    (1), In addition to the inspection requirements set forth in the manufacturer’s instructions, the equipment shall be inspected by the user before each use and, additionally, by a competent person, other than the user, at interval of no more than one year for:- absence or Megibility of marking sabsence of any elements a ecting the equipment form, fit or function- evidence of defects in or damage to hardware elements including cracks, sharp edges, deformation, corrosion, damage from chemicals, excessive heating, alteration and excessive wear- evidence of defects in or damage to strap or ropes including fraying, unsplicing, unlaying, kinking, knotting, roping, broken or pulled stitches, excessive elongation, chemical attack, excessive soiling, abrasion, alteration, needed or excessive lubrication, excessive aging and excessive wear.
    (2) Inspection criteria for the equipment shall be set by the user’s organization. Such criteria for the equipment shall equal or exceed the criteria established by this standard or the manufacturer’s instructions, whichever is greater.
    ( 3.) When inspection reveals defects in, damage to, or inadequate maintenance of equipment, the equipment shall be permanently removed from service or undergo adequate corrective maintenance, by the original equipment manufacturer or their designate, before return to service.

24. Maintenance and storage
    (1) Maintenance and storage of equipment shall be conducted by the user’s organization in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Unique issues, which may arise due to conditions of use, shall be addressed with the manufacturer.
    (2) Equipment which is in need of, or scheduled for maintenance shall be tagged as “unusable” and removed from service.
    (3) Equipment shall be stored in a manner as to preclude damage from environmental factors such as temperature, light, UV, excessive moisture, oil, chemicals and their vapors or other degrading elements.

PERIODIC CHECKING OFPERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PERIODIC CHECKING OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GENERAL REMARKS
