Setup and Adjustment

Proper setup and adjustment of the fall protection harness are crucial for safety and comfort. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Inspect the Harness: Before each use, visually inspect the entire harness for any signs of damage, wear, cuts, fraying, or chemical exposure. Check all buckles, D-rings, and stitching. Do not use if any damage is found.
2. Donning the Harness:
   • Hold the harness by the back D-ring. Shake it gently to allow the straps to fall into place.
   • Slip the shoulder straps over your shoulders, ensuring the D-ring is centered on your back between the shoulder blades.
   • Bring the leg straps between your legs and connect them to the appropriate buckles. Ensure the straps are not twisted.
   • Connect the chest strap across your chest. It should be positioned approximately mid-chest.
3. Adjusting for Fit:
   • Begin by tightening the leg straps. They should be snug but allow for a flat hand to be inserted between the strap and your leg.
   • Adjust the shoulder straps to ensure the D-ring remains centered on your back and the harness fits snugly over your shoulders.
   • Tighten the chest strap. It should be snug enough to keep the shoulder straps from slipping off, but not restrict breathing.
   • Verify the sub-pelvic strap is positioned correctly to maintain an upright posture.
   • Look for the black line on the outside of the strap; if visible and the harness feels secure, it is likely correctly adjusted.

Operating Instructions

The Honeywell Miller 1011890 harness is designed for use as part of a complete personal fall arrest system. Always ensure you are trained and competent in the use of fall protection equipment before beginning work.

Connecting to an Anchorage Point:

• Always connect the harness to an approved anchorage point using a compatible lanyard, self-retracting lifeline, or other connecting device.
• The anchorage point must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) per worker attached, or meet the requirements of a qualified person.
• Ensure the connecting device is securely attached to the D-ring on the back of the harness.
• Maintain a clear fall path below the work area, free from obstructions.

Work Positioning and Fall Arrest:

• The harness is primarily for fall arrest. For work positioning, additional equipment may be required.
• Ensure the fall distance is minimized by selecting an anchorage point directly above the work area whenever possible.
• Always be aware of your surroundings and potential swing hazards if a fall occurs.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage extend the life of your harness and ensure its continued effectiveness.

Cleaning:

• Clean the harness regularly with a mild soap and water solution.
• Use a sponge or soft brush to gently scrub the webbing and hardware.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all soap residue is removed.
• Allow the harness to air dry completely in a clean, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not use heat to dry.

Storage:

• Store the harness in a cool, dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and sharp objects.
• Avoid storing the harness in areas where it could be exposed to fumes, oils, or other contaminants.
• Hang the harness to prevent creasing or folding that could damage the webbing.

Inspection Schedule:

• Perform a thorough user inspection before each use.
• A competent person should conduct a formal inspection at least every six months, or more frequently based on usage and environmental conditions.
• Any harness that has been subjected to a fall arrest event must be immediately removed from service and destroyed.
