1.0 APPLICATIONS
1.1 PURPOSE: DBI-SALA full body harnesses are to be used as components in personal fall arrest, restraint,
work positioning, or rescue systems. See Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 for harness styles.
Harnesses included in this manual are full body harnesses and meet ANSI Z359.1, OSHA, and CSA Z259.10
requirements. See Figure 5 for application illustrations.
• Full body harnesses with Kevlar web should be used when working with tools, materials, or
environments of high temperature (foundries, chemical manufacturing, steel fabrication, emergency
rescue services, re services, welders, oil industry, nuclear industry, explosives).
• Harnesses with PVC coated hardware should be used when working in explosive or electrically
conductive environments, or where surfaces must be protected from the hardware.
• Harnesses with high visibility webbing should be used when increased visibility of the user is required.
A. PERSONAL FALL ARREST: The full body harness is used as a component of a personal fall arrest
system. Personal fall arrest systems typically include a full body harness and a connecting subsystem
(energy absorbing lanyard). Maximum arresting force must not exceed 1,800 lbs (8 kN).For fall
protection applications connect the fall arrest subsystem (example: lanyard, SRL, energy absorber, etc.)
to the D-ring or attachment element on your back, between your shoulder blades.
