Proper Harness Donning-Print

Proper fitting of a full-body harness is critical for fall protection. The harness should be donned by holding it by the back D-ring, slipping the shoulder straps on and connecting all the chest, leg, and waist straps according to the manufacturer's instructions. All straps should be tightened so the harness fits snugly but allows full range of movement. The harness should be hung by the back D-ring when not in use to maintain its shape.

Harness Donning
Full-body harnesses are the only form of body wear to be used for fall protection/fall arrest. It is very
important to have a proper fitting harness throughout the entire course of a work shift. Do not allow
your harness to become loose or slack. The following procedure will describe how to properly “don”
(put on) a harness. The location of the chest, leg and sub-pelvic straps are critical to the optimal per-
formance of a fullbody harness in a fall arrest.
