  • Page 6: Systems Requirements

    The FP Pro Harness is one component of multi-component systems. Without the other necessary compo- nents, the harness serves no useful purpose. There are several different types of systems for use at heights and in confined spaces. The FP Pro Harness is suitable for use only in fall arrest and travel restriction systems.

  • Page 7: Planning The Use Of Systems

    Connectors, such as D-rings, snaphooks, and carabiners, must be rated at 5,000 lbf (22 kN) minimum breaking strength. MSA connectors meet this requirement. Connecting hardware must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Non-compatible connectors may accidentally disengage (“rollout”). Always verify that the connecting snaphook or carabiner and the D-ring on the harness or anchorage connector are compatible.
