The EN 361 standard specifies the requirements, test methods, instructions for use, marking and packaging for full body harnesses.
The working harness is a category III personal protective equipment and consists of an element to hold the operator’s body by means of arrest and/or suspended support, so as to guarantee his safety in case of a falling hazard. Full body harnesses consisting of shoulder straps and sit straps must be used in all working activities where falls of over 5 m are possible.
Some types of harnesses are integrated with a waist positioning belt, also called combined harnesses. These can be connected to solid anchors, possibly placed higher than the operator. They can have rear attachment (dorsal) or front attachment (sternal). The shoulder straps must be suitable for the movements of the operator and, where required, have adequately sized and padded sit straps. In compliance with the positioning standard EN 358.
