FALL PROTECTION HARNESS

DFA-PN21

Description

The Dromex® DFA-PN21 full body harness with a permanently attached energy absorbing

double lanyard, is an essential and mandatory piece of safety equipment, when working at

heights as it protects a user from accidents and injury resulting from a fall.

This fall arrest system allows the user to safely move in all directions with the dual lanyard,

whilst remaining anchored at all times.

Features:

• High visibility yellow colour webbing.

• A double, Y shaped lanyard (PN361N) with steel scaﬀold hooks and an energy absorber

that is attached on the single Dorsal D-ring of the harness.

• Scaﬀolding hooks with a double lock spring-loaded locking and opening gate mechanism

for safe attachment/anchorage and preventing accidental opening.

• Adjustable chest, shoulder, waist and leg straps. An ideal choice for women as the

shoulder strap is height adjustable for comfort on the chest area.

• Ideally positioned sit strap and waist belt for extended comfort.

• Parachute Buckle (Male-Female) for ease of fastening the legs straps.

• 2 Webbed Lanyard Keeper loops on chest strap for holding lanyards hooks for placement

of free lanyards.

• An ID (impact distribution) plate to absorb load and is a visual indicator conﬁrming that

the harness has been exposed to a fall or impact forces and should be removed from

service.

• An Impact Indicator on the shock absorber provides visual reference of a shock load or

fall arrest incident.

• The lanyard loops at the ends are protected by an abrasion resistant covering. This

prevents the webbing from being damaged by the metallic contact of the connector.

• A universal ﬁt harness.

This harness system has a maximum rated load of 140Kg.

Suitable for use when working at heights in the construction (scaﬀolding, high rope access),

ship building, mining, warehousing and general maintenance industries (window cleaning,

painting).

• It is recommended that this harness system should be the personal property of its user and

care must be taken to ensure the safety of its user.

• It is essential to verify that the medical condition of the user is ﬁt to use the product in

normal and emergency use.

• Ensure before and during use that a rescue plan is in place to rescue the user after a fall has

occurred.

• These energy absorbing lanyards when used as a component of a fall arrest system

guarantees the full ability for the safe arresting of a fall from a height by reducing the

breaking force measured at the anchorage point or the anchorage line to less than 6.0 kN.

It can be used in conjunction with a full body harness.

• Please do not add any lanyard/connector as it can increase the distance from fall arrester to

user connection point. This can lead to product failure and can cause serious injury. Users

must know how to use a harness with a ﬁxed lanyard attachment.

• However users are advised to use the harness with utmost care and the total weight

(including all tools) must not be more than 140kg.

• The total length of a sub system with a lanyard including an energy absorber, terminations

and connectors shall not exceed 2m.

• The strength of the anchor device should be greater than 18kN (for Textile) and 12kN

(for Metal) and the anchor point should be situated above the user's head.

• Connect the lanyard to the anchorage point using the connector provided at one end.

(If a connector is not provided, use karabiners complying to EN 362:2004).

The other end on the side of the energy absorber should be connected to the attachment

element of the full body harness.

• To optimize protection, in some instances it may be necessary to use the lanyard with

suitable other components. In this case before carrying out the risk application related

activity, consult your supplier to ensure that all components are compatible and suitable for

your application.

• The arrest distance should be double the total length of the lanyard plus 1.75m break

distance to allow tearing of the webbing inside.

• Always remember that no item of PPE can provide full protection and care must always be

taken while carrying out the risk related activity.

• Only competent users who have received training should use this equipment. (Refer to the

SABS/EN recommendations concerning selection, use and maintenance.)

• The manufacturer's instructions must be followed.

• Inspect the equipment before every use to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition and

operates correctly as intended.

• Inspect all the rope or webbing of product for cuts/abrasion marks. Also check all

connectors of the product for proper mechanical functioning and eﬀects of corrosion or

mechanical deformation if any on parts of the connectors in the product.

• Since this lanyard is made of polymers and polyester, the performance of which gets

aﬀected by temperatures, eﬀect of sharp edges, electrical conductivity, chemical reagents,

cutting, abrasion, UV degradation etc, it is advised to consult your supplier for use in the

above extreme conditions

• Ensure that the harness or webbing does not come into contact with high temperature

surfaces, welding, heat sources, electrical hazards or moving machinery.

• If the harness has been involved in arresting a fall, it must be removed from service

immediately and destroyed. Withdraw from use the product for which any doubt arises

about it's condition for safe use

• No modiﬁcations or alterations must be made to the equipment, this will make the

warranty null and void. Any repair shall only be carried out in accordance with the

manufacturer's procedures.

• Specially designed harnesses with high heat webbing are available for specialized heat

applications.

• If the equipment is used in areas, or comes into contact with hazardous chemicals

e.g. cleaning materials or atmospheres that may cause damage to the product, contact the

manufacturer to see if it is still ﬁt for use.

• If a lanyard is used in fall arrest system, it is essential for safety that the anchor device or

anchor point is always positioned, and the work carried out in such a way as to minimize

both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. Ensure that the anchor point is above

the user's head.

• If used within fall arrest systems, it is essential to verify the free space required beneath the

user at the work place before each occasion of use, so that in the case of a fall, there will be

no collision with the ground or other obstacles in the fall path.

• The equipment shall not be used outside its limitation, or for any purpose other than that

for which it is intended.

• The device should be used with appropriate combinations only. The user should not make

any combination which compromises safe function of any other devices used in

combination or entire fall protection system or rescue system.
