2.0 TRAINING

It is the responsibility of the purchaser of the FP Pro Harness to assure that harness users are made familiar

with these User Instructions and trained by a competent person in: (1) workplace hazard awareness and

hazard identification, evaluation and control; (2) how to properly select, inspect, use, store and maintain the

harness; (3) how to determine and acceptably limit free fall distance, total fall distance, and maximum

arresting force; (4) how to don, adjust and doff the harness; (5) proper attachment locations on the harness

and proper attachment methods, including compatibility of connections to reduce the probability of accidental

disengagement (“rollout”); (6) how to evacuate from a hazardous space; (7) what to do after a fall to protect

the user from injury, including emergency rescue planning and execution; and (8) the consequences of

improper use of the harness and associated equipment and of failure to follow instructions and training. If the

harness is to be used for confined space applications, the user must also be trained in accordance with the

requirements of OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.146 and ANSI Z117.1. Training must be conducted without

undue exposure of the trainee to hazards. The effectiveness of training should be periodically assessed (at

least annually) and the need for more training or retraining determined. Rose Manufacturing Company offers

training programs. Contact Rose for training information.

3.0 HAZARDS ID, EVALUATION AND CONTROL

CAUTION

Do not use the FP Pro Harness unless a qualified person has inspected the

workplace and determined that identified hazards can neither be eliminated

nor exposures to them prevented.

Prior to selecting a harness or other personal protective equipment, the user must make a workplace

assessment of hazards and conditions where the equipment is required. Such assessment must, at a

minimum, identify the presence of:

• Unstable/uneven surfaces • Chemicals • Abrasive surfaces • Climatic factors

• Electrical hazards • Sparks • Moving equipment • Weatherfactors

• Environmental contaminants • Flames • Moving materials • Slippery surfaces

• Heat-producingoperations • Sharp objects • Unguarded openings • Hotobjects

• Confined space hazards

Foreseeable changes in any of these conditions, taken individually or collectively, must be identified,

evaluated and controlled. The materials and construction of the harness and associated equipment must be

considered in the selection process such that these workplace conditions are suitably addressed and

responded to. The equipment must match the work situation and workplace environmental factors.

The workplace assessment must identify all paths of intended user movement and all hazards along such

paths. The user must identify the required range of mobility in each hazard zone and note the location and

distance to all obstructions in potential fall paths. Lateral obstructions which could be contacted in a pendular

fall arrest must be noted. An assembly connecting the harness to an anchorage must be selected which will

satisfactorily limit total fall distance and allow for dynamic elongation and activation distance of the assembly.

5.0 HARNESS SELECTION AND APPLICATIONS

5.1 PURPOSE OF FP PRO HARNESS

The FP Pro Harness (full body) is primarily a component of a personal fall arrest system. It may also be used

for positioning and travel restriction when the appropriate attachments are present. The harness straps are

arranged to contain the torso and distribute the forces of fall arrest to the thighs, chest and shoulders of the

wearer.

Use of the FP Pro Harness must comply with these User Instructions and, further, is subject to approval

under the user’s safety rules and regulations, safety director, supervisor, or a qualified safety engineer. Be

certain the selection of the FP Pro Harness is suited for the intended use and work environment. If there is

any conflict between these User Instructions and other directives or procedures of the user’s organization,

do not use the FP Pro Harness until such conflicts are resolved. Consult all local, state, and federal

Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) requirements for personal safety equipment. Also

refer to the latest revision of ANSI A10.14 standards for more information on full body harnesses and

associated system components.

5.2 SIZING

Refer to Table 1 for selection of the proper size of harness for the user. If the proper harness size is selected,

there will not be an excessive length of strap ends after harness adjustment, yet there will be enough strap

length to permit adjustment for comfort and for donning the harness over winter clothing and heavy work

clothing. Contact Rose if there is any question as to proper sizing.

5.3 USAGE LIMITATIONS

The following applications limitations must be considered and planned for before using the FP Pro Harness.

5.3.1 PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS

The FP Pro Harness is designed for use by one person with a combined total weight no greater than 310

pounds (140 kg), including clothing, tools, and other user-borne objects. Persons with muscular, skeletal, or

other physical disorders should consult a physician before using the harness. Pregnant women and minors

must never use the harness. Increasing age and lowered physical fitness may reduce a person’s ability to

withstand shock loads during fall arrest or prolonged suspension. Consult a physician if there is any question

about physical ability to safely use this product to arrest a fall or suspend.

User Instructions !FP Pro Vest Style Harness P/N 623244, Rev. D

5.3.2 CHEMICAL HAZARDS

Acidic, alkaline, or other environments with harsh substances may damage the webbing and hardware

elements of this harness. When working in the presence of chemicals, more frequent inspection of the

harness is required.

5.3.3 HEAT

Do not use harness in environments with temperatures greater than 185° F (85° C). Protect the harness

when used near welding, metal cutting, or other heat producing activities. Sparks may damage the harness

webbing and reduce its strength.

5.3.4 CORROSION

Do not expose harness to corrosive environments for prolonged periods. Organic substances and salt water

are particularly corrosive to metal parts. When working in a corrosive environment, more frequent inspec-

tion, cleaning and drying of the harness is required. See sections 9, 11 and 12 for cleaning and inspection

details.

5.3.5 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

Use extreme caution when working near energized electrical sources. Metal hardware on the harness and

on other components connected to it will conduct electric current. Maintain a safe working distance

{preferably at least 10 feet (3 m)} from electrical hazards.

5.3.6 MOVING MACHINERY

When working near moving machinery parts (e.g. conveyors, rotating shafts, presses, etc.), make sure that

harness straps are secured by the strap collars. Maintain a safe working distance from machinery which

could entangle clothing, the harness, or other components connected to it.

5.3.7 SHARP EDGES AND ABRASIVE SURFACES

Do not expose harness straps to sharp edges or abrasive surfaces that could cut, tear or abrade and weaken

the fibers. When work around sharp edges and abrasive surfaces is unavoidable, use heavy padding or

other protective barriers to prevent direct contact.

5.3.8 WEAR AND DETERIORATION

Any FP Pro Harness which shows signs of excessive wear, deterioration or aging must be removed from

use and marked “UNUSABLE” until destroyed. See sections 11 and 12 for detailed inspection procedures.

5.3.9 IMPACT FORCES

Any FP Pro Harness which has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall must be immediately removed

from service and marked as “UNUSABLE” until destroyed.

6.0 SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS

The FP Pro Harness is one component of multi-component systems. Without the other necessary compo-

nents, the harness serves no useful purpose. There are several different types of systems for use at heights

and in confined spaces. The FP Pro Harness is suitable for use only in fall arrest and travel restriction

systems.

6.1 SYSTEM TYPES

Systems are classified according to their intended purposes. There are six classifications of systems which

may be used individually or in combinations. The six basic systems classifications are:

• Fall Arrest • Personnel Riding • Climbing Protection

• Rescue • Restraint • Evacuation

The FP Pro harness is suitable for use in fall arrest and restraint systems.

6.1.1 FALL ARREST SYSTEMS

A fall arrest system is an assembly of components and subsystems, including the necessary connectors,

used to arrest the user in a fall from a working height and suspend the user until rescue can be effected. A

fall arrest system must always include the FP Pro Harness and connecting means between the harness and

an anchorage or anchorage connector. Such connecting means may consist of a lanyard, energy (shock)

absorber, fall arrester (rope grab), lifeline, self-retracting lanyard or suitable combinations of these.

6.1.2 RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

A restraint system is an assembly of components and subsystems, including the necessary connectors

used to:

(a) stabilize and partially support the user at an elevated work location and allow free use of both

hands. This type of restraint system is referred to as a work positioning system or a positioning

system.

(b) restrict the user’s motion to prevent reaching a location where a fall hazard exists. This type of

restraint system is referred to as a travel restriction system.

6.2 COMPATIBILITY OF SYSTEM PARTS

6.2.1 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS

FP Pro Harnesses are designed to be used with MSA Rose approved components and connecting

subsystems. Use of the FP Pro Harness with products made by others that are not approved in writing by

MSA Rose may adversely affect the functional compatibility between system parts and the safety and

reliability of the complete system. Connecting subsystems must be suitable for use in the application (e.g.

fall arrest or restraint). MSA Rose produces a complete line of connecting subsystems for each application.

Contact MSA Rose for further information. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the

component or connecting subsystem to determine suitability. For fall arrest applications using the

FP Pro Harness, the maximum fall arrest force must not exceed 1,800 lbf (8 kN). Contact MSA Rose with

any questions regarding compatibility of equipment used with the FP Pro Harness.

User Instructions !FP Pro Vest Style Harness P/N 623244, Rev. D

6.2.2 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS

Connectors, such as D-rings, snaphooks, and carabiners, must be rated at 5,000 lbf (22 kN) minimum

breaking strength. MSA connectors meet this requirement. Connecting hardware must be compatible in size,

shape, and strength. Non-compatible connectors may accidentally disengage (“rollout”). Always verify that

theconnecting snaphook orcarabiner andthe D-ring on the harnessor anchorage connector are compatible.

Use only self-closing, self-locking snaphooks and carabiners with the FP Pro Harness.

6.2.3 ANCHORAGES AND ANCHORAGE CONNECTORS

Anchorages for personal fall arrest systems must have a strength capable of supporting a static load, applied

in directions permitted by the system, of at least: (a) 3,600 lbf (16 kN) when certification exists, or (b) 5,000

lbf (22.2 kN) in the absence of certification. When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an

anchorage, the anchorage strengths set forth in (a) and (b) must be multiplied by the number of systems

attached to the anchorage. This requirement is consistent with OSHA requirements under 29 CFR 1910,

Subpart F, Section 1910.66, Appendix C.

7.0 PLANNING THE USE OF SYSTEMS

Perform the hazard identification and evaluation described in section 3 of these instructions. Then plan the

system(s) before starting work. Consider all possible paths of user movement and all factors that could affect

the user’s safety before, during, and after a fall anywhere along these paths. A qualified person must select

the components, materials, anchorage and anchorage connectors to match the system application, the

work, workplace hazards, and the environment. Consider the following points when planning the system(s).

7.1 ANCHORAGE AND ANCHORAGE CONNECTOR SELECTION

Determine the necessary locations of anchorages to assure that the user will be continuously connected

when exposed to hazards of falling. Select anchorages that are stable and have the strength required by

section 6.2.3 of these instructions. Carefully select the locations of the anchorages to: (a) reduce possible

freefall distance,(b) preventswing fallhazards, and (c) provide clearspace inthe potentialfall pathsto avoid

striking an object. Do not select anchorage locations that will require the user to work above them as this will

increase the potential free fall and total fall distances. Plan the types of anchorage connectors that will need

to be selected and refer to the instructions for same.

7.2 FREE FALL DISTANCE, TOTAL FALL DISTANCE AND SYSTEM

ELONGATION

Personal fall arrest systems must be selected and rigged to ensure that potential free fall distances will never

exceed 6 ft (1.8 m) as required by OSHA. ANSI A10.14 restricts free fall distance to 5 ft (1.5 m)]. See

separate instructions for connecting subsystems to determine the deceleration distance and dynamic

elongation which must be allowed for in the space of potential fall paths. Total fall distance is the sum of free

fall distance and deceleration distance. Dynamic elongation of the system (temporary elastic stretch of

connecting components and subsystems) must be added to total fall distance and clearance allowed.

P/N 623244, Rev. D User Instructions !FP Pro Vest Style Harness

1 Free fall distance. Limited to 6 ft (1.8 m) by OSHA. Limited to 5 ft (1.5 m) by ANSI A10.14.

2 Total fall distance. The sum of the free fall distance and deceleration distance.

3 Deceleration distance. Must not exceed 3.5 ft (1.1 m).

7.3 USER MOVEMENTS

Identify all necessary movements of the user and the materials and equipment needed to perform the

planned work. Plan for avoidance of the crossing or tangling of connecting subsystems of two or more

workers. Anticipate user movements that might introduce hazards of the connecting subsystem passing

under, about or between body parts or invite the user to clamp, knot or otherwise prevent the connecting

subsystem from functioning properly. Establish controls to prevent these occurrences.

7.4 PENDULUM (SWING) FALLS

Swing falls can occur when the system is not anchored directly above the user. The force of striking an

object in a pendular motion can cause serious injury. Always minimize swing falls by working as directly

below the anchorage point as possible.

7.5 CLEAR SPACE IN FALL PATH

Make certain that enough clearance is available in all potential fall paths to prevent striking an object. The

amount of clearance needed depends upon the type of connecting subsystem used, and the location of the

anchorage. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the particular connecting subsystem or component for

clearance needed.

7.6 HAZARDS IDENTIFIED IN WORKPLACE ASSESSMENT

All hazards of the type set forth in section 3 of these instructions must be addressed and suitable controls

planned and implemented. For example, if work must be performed near unavoidable sharp edges, plan to

protect against cutting by use of heavy padding or other means of covering the sharp edge.

FREE FALL DISTANCE

User Instructions !FP Pro Vest Style Harness P/N 623244, Rev. D

7.7 RESCUE AND EVACUATION

The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it. The plan must take into account

the equipment and special training necessary to effect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions.

Although a rescue plan and the means to implement it must always be in place, it is a good idea to provide

means for user evacuation without assistance of others. This will usually reduce the time to get to a safe

place and reduce or prevent the risk to rescuers.

8.0 USAGE

8.1 HARNESS INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE

Inspect the harness to verify that it is in serviceable condition. Examine every inch of the harness straps for

severe wear, cuts, burns, frayed edges, abrasion, or other damage. Examine stitching for any pulled,

9.0 CARE, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

9.1 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean the FP Pro Harness with a solution of water and mild laundry detergent. Dry hardware with a clean

cloth and hang harness to air dry. Do not speed drying with heat. Excessive accumulation of dirt, paint, or

other foreign matter may prevent proper function of the FP Pro Harness and, in severe cases, weaken the

webbing. Questions concerning harness conditions and cleaning should be directed to MSA Rose.

9.2 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Equipment which is damaged or in need of maintenance must be tagged as “UNUSABLE” and removed

from service. Corrective maintenance (other than cleaning) and repair, such as replacement of elements,

must be performed by the MSA Rose factory. Do not attempt field repairs.

9.3 STORAGE

Store the harness in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where heat, moisture,

light, oil, and chemicals or their vapors or other degrading elements may be present. Equipment which is

damaged or in need of maintenance should not be stored in the same area as usable equipment. Heavily

soiled, wet, or otherwise contaminated equipment should be properly maintained (e.g. dried and cleaned)

prior to storage. Prior to using equipment which has been stored for long periods of time, a Formal Inspection

should be performed by a competent person. See section 12.

STEP 9 For correct fit, the back D-ring should be

centered between the shoulder blades. The chest strap

should be centered at chest level (over sternum). Hip
