Such full body harnesses are the only form of body wear acceptable for fall arrest. Full-body harnesses may also be used for positioning, travel restraint and rescue. - Page 3 Full Body Harness Instruction Manual Instructions for Use • Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. WARNING: • Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) MUST limit the average arrest force to 900 lbs.

Page 4: Limitations For Use
• Part # B2000, B2001, B2002, B2003, B2100, B2101, B2102, and B2103 are designed for a single user with combined weight - including clothing, tools, etc. - within weight capacity range 130 lbs. - Page 5 Full Body Harness Instruction Manual hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects, as such use will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on structural elements such as rebar or cross members that are not shaped in such a way that they may capture the gate of the hook.
- Page 6 Full Body Harness Instruction Manual Performance Each Malta Dynamics Full Body Harness has a minimum tensile breaking strength of 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) when statically tested in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z359.1:2007 standard. Malta Dynamics Full Body Harness stretch is less than 8 inches.
- Page 7 Full Body Harness Instruction Manual • Rescue: The structure to which rescue system is attached must sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the work positioning system of at least 3,000 lbs., or five times the potential impact load, whichever is greater. See OSHA1926.502. When more than one work positioning system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths stated above must be multiplied by the number of work positioning systems attached to the anchorage.
- Page 8 Full Body Harness Instruction Manual If there is a risk of a fall or if the anchorage point is below the attachment points on the harness, it is essential to use a lanyard with an energy absorber. Before using a shock absorbing lanyard, ensure that there is sufficient fall clearance below the user to prevent any collision with the structure or the ground.
