Full body harness selection principle and wearing method

Full body harnesses are personal protection products worn by workers for fall protection. Its main role is to prevent high-level workers from falling, or to hang the workers safely, to protect them from harm, and not to slip off the seat belts. The static load of the hanging point should meet the requirement that each hanging point on the seat belt must be able to withstand a static load of more than 15KN for 3 minutes (GB6095-2009, EN361 and E358). The only seatbelt type in the fall protection system is a full body seat belt.

2. If the chest strap, belt strap, or strap buckle is not open, untie the braid or unfasten the buckle.
3. Put the shoulder strap over your shoulder and place the D-ring in the middle of your back shoulders.
4. Pull the leg strap between the two legs, one hand holding the back leg strap from behind and sending it from the armpit forward to the other hand, catch it and fasten it with the front buckle. Use the same method to fasten the second leg strap. If you have a belt, buckle your leg and buckle it.
5. Fasten the chest strap and secure it in the middle of the chest. Tighten the straps and pass the excess straps through the clips to prevent loosening.
6. When all the webbing and buckles are fastened, tighten all the buckles so that the seat belts are as close as possible to the body but it will not affect the activity. Put excess tape into the belt clip to prevent it from coming loose.
