HARNESS FITTING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE B-SAFE HARNESS, USERS SHOULD DO A PRE-INSPECTION OF THE HARNESS
Including webbing, metal fittings, connection points and labels should be checked for damage. Refer to your B-Safe instruction booklet and, if in any doubt, contact your supervisor, supplier or B-Safe for advice. The date of entry into service should be recorded in the instruction booklet provided.
STEP 1
STEP 2
Hold the harness by the rear dorsal connection D-ring and gently shake the harness to untangle the straps. Ensure the leg straps are free and not buckled up. Ensure all straps are fully extended. Whilst holding the harness by the dorsal D-ring, carry out a pre-use inspection of the components, webbing, stitching and buckles. Check labeling to identify the withdrawal-from-service date has not passed.
Hold the harness with the dorsal D-ring facing away from you, place the shoulder straps of the harness over your hands (as shown) and hold the harness open.
STEP 3
STEP 4
Rotate harness and insert elbow into arm loop and then place arm through the loop, release shoulder strap and place other arm through the other shoulder loop and let harness fall onto the shoulders. Ensure the harness is fitted correctly without any webbing twists over the shoulders.
Buckle all straps prior to adjusting the fit. Locate chest strap and pass the smaller buckle plate through the other chest strap buckle (as shown in the "How to assemble buckles" diagrams). Hold buckle and pull webbing to tighten straps to a firm and comfortable fit and slide keepers along the leg strap webbing to hold free webbing.
STEP 5
STEP 6
Locate the leg straps and ensure the left leg strap is connected to the left hip buckle and the right leg strap is connected to the right hip buckle. Ensure the straps are not twisted and the loose webbing end is always on the outside, away from the body. Hold buckle and pull webbing to tighten straps to a firm and comfortable fit and slide keepers along the leg strap webbing to hold free webbing.
Adjust shoulder straps first to ensure that the rear dorsal D-ring is located between the shoulder blades in the centre of the back. Then adjust chest and leg straps to a firm fit, and slide webbing keepers along to hold free webbing in place. When using the front attachment points, both loops must be connected as per AS/NZS 1891.1.
