User Manual

Ironman or Ironman+ shock absorbing lanyard is used. Some FallTech

self-retracting lifelines may also be used to rig your PFAS for up to 12

feet of free fall. Please contact FallTech for additional details.

3.4: Specialty Applications

Where fall arrest is concerned, there are many applications that are

highly specialized which require Full Body Harnesses with special

materials, features or construction. Below is a short summary of some of

the specialty FBH products manufactured by FallTech. If you have

questions about your application or about which product is best suited for

your needs, please contact customer service for assistance.

Tower Climbing/Wind Energy: FallTech’s 7084 and 7085 series FBH’s

were specifically developed to meet the needs of these specialized

applications. Our 7029 is a more basic, light-weight alternative that is

also suitable. FallTech also has an assortment of connecting devices

and anchorage connectors specifically made for use in these

applications – see table 3.1 below:

Arc/Flash Exposure: FallTech recommends using 7047 or 7048 series

FBH’s for applications where the user may be exposed to high voltage or

energized power transmission equipment. The products comply with the

ASTM F887-04 standard for Arc/Flash resistance.

Confined Space Entry: FallTech’s 7027 and 7034 series harness were

specifically developed for confined space entry. We recommend the use

of the 7208 confined space yoke for use with these FBH’s.

3.5: Donning Instructions

A Full Body Harness should be worn with all straps buckled and

adjusted at all times. The FBH should be adjusted to fit snugly, and

adjustments should be checked frequently as the webbing can shift or

slip during the course of work. Failure to properly don, wear and adjust

the FBH can result in severe bodily injury or death in the event of a fall.

To ensure proper donning and adjustment, follow the six simple steps in

figure 3.1 below:
