Environmental hazards should be considered when selecting fall protection equipment. Do not expose the equipment to chemicals, heat, flames or other environmental conditions, which may produce a harmful effect. Consult PALOMA in cases of doubt. Never remove product labels because they include important information for the Authorized Person/User.
1 . Limitations for Use This equipment is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40°F to +130°F (-40°C to +54°C). Do not expose this equipment to chemicals or harsh solutions that may have a harmful effect. Contact PALOMA with any questions.
3. Connection Compatibility Limitations All equipment must be coupled to compatible connectors. Prohibits snap hooks from being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: 1. It must be a locking type snap hook. 2. It must be “designed for” making such a connection. ---“Designed for”...

Image 2: Using the 12 Ft Shock Absorbing Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of approximately 21.5 ft (6.45m) when anchored at foot level and measured from the anchorage point of lanyard to the nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance combines the sum of the length of the lanyard (6 ft/1.8m), the maximum elongation of the lanyard (5 ft/1.5m), the maximum harness stretch (1.5 ft/0.45m), the average distance between the worker’s dorsal D-ring (6 ft/1.8m), and the safety factor (3 ft/0.9m).
Swing Fall To minimize the possibility of a swing fall, work as directly under the anchorage connector as possible. Striking objects horizontally, due to the pendulum effect, may cause serious injury. Swing falls also increase the vertical fall distance of a worker, compared to a fall directly below the anchorage connector.
5. Attachment Elements The Full Body Harnesses maybe have some attachment elements. These elements may be used for difference applications. See the details as below table. Attachment Elements Model Dorsal Sternal Front Shoulder 1831006 √ 1831006G √ 1831006RG √ √ 1831007 √...
6. Donning Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. No load indicators shall be deployed. Note: Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must be immediately removed from service. Fitting an Full Body Harness Follow step from 1 to 7 for wearing harness: Step 1: Hold the harness by the dorsal D-ring and shake to allow any tangled straps to fall into place.
7. Training Employers are responsible for providing training to any employee who may be exposed to fall hazards. Training will enable an employee to recognize and reduce fall hazards. Training must be conducted by a Competent or Qualified Person. Trainer and trainees must not be exposed to fall hazards during the training course.
4. Full Body Harnesses which meet ANSI/ASSE Z359.11 are intended to be used with other components of a Personal fall Arrest system that limit maximum arrest forces to 1800 pounds (8 kN) or less.
