Klein Tools Harnesses - Manual (Page 20)

Klein permanently attaches highly durable warning
and instruction tags and/or labels to its harnesses. In
the event any of these tags and/or labels become
unattached, lost, or damaged, contact the Klein Tools Sales Department, toll-free at 1-800-553-4676 for
information on how to have the tags and/or labels
replaced free of charge.
For Fall-Arrest Use Only
■ Harness must be worn so that the fall-arrest
D-ring is centered in back.
■ Fall-arrest anchorage must support a minimum of
5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per attached worker and be inde-
pendent of worker support.
■ Attach fall-arrest connecting devices that
meet OSHA standards only to the rear fall-arrest
D-ring.
■ Rig to avoid contact with structures below
in the event of a fall. The free-fall distance must
not exceed 6 ft. (1.8m). If using a deceleration
unit, add 3-1/2 ft. (1m) to the free-fall distance to allow
for unit extension.
■ For fall-arrest, always keep anchorage at or above
shoulder height to minimize fall distance.

■ OSHA requires that impact force in a fall
NOT exceed an 1,800 lb. (8kN) limit with a har-
ness. At a given weight, the longer the free fall,
the greater the resulting impact force. Therefore,
minimize slack in fall-arrest connecting device
or use deceleration unit to stay under 1,800 lbs.
(8kN).

For Fall-arrest and Positioning Use Only
■ Harness must be worn so that the fall-arrest
D-ring is centered in back.
■ Attach fall-arrest connecting devices that meet
OSHA standards only to the rear fall-arrest D-ring.
■ Attach positioning connecting devices that
meet OSHA standards only to the side D-rings.
Side D-rings are NOT for fall-arrest.
■ Fall-arrest anchorage must support a mini-
mum of 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per attached worker
and be independent of worker support.
■ Positioning anchorage must support at least twice the
potential impact load of an employee’s fall or 3,000 lbs.
(13.3kN), whichever is greater.
■ For fall-arrest, always keep anchorage at or above
shoulder height to minimize fall distance.
