4.1 ATTACHMENT ELEMENTS (D-RINGS)
4.1.1 FALL ARREST ATTACHMENT (1)
Also called back D-ring (CSA class A), present on all FP Pro Harnesses. For fall arrest. Use only the back
D-ring for connection to the other elements of a personal fall arrest system. The back D-ring may also be
used as an attachment element for travel restriction.
4.1.2 HIP ATTACHMENTS (2, IF PRESENT)
Also called hip D-rings. For restraint (work positioning and travel restriction) [CSA class P.] Never use the
hip D-rings for fall arrest or for climbing protection. Always use both hip D-rings together, never only one.
When work positioning, use a separate fall arrest system attached to the back D-ring.
4.2 ADJUSTER/BUCKLE (2)
Used for securing the harness thigh straps around the user's thigh. The adjuster/buckle is also used in the
harness shoulder straps to provide adjustment about the user's torso. The free end of each strap must extend
at least 3 inches (8 cm) beyond the buckle and be tucked into the strap collar.
ADJUSTER BUCKLE
4.3 CHEST STRAP QWIK-FIT
