WARNING
Personal Fall Arrest: Velocity Harness may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest
System (PFAS) for use in Fall Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the
directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6', or up to 12' if
used in combination with equipment explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: Velocity Harness may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side.
Work Positioning: Velocity Harness may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with
both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2'. Applicable D-rings: Side.
Rescue/Confined Space: Velocity Harness may be used in Rescue/Confined Space applications.
Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after exposed to a
fall. There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of rescue.
Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least
3,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.
