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:
