Typical Applications
Donning Overview
Donning must follow the Guardian instruction manual for this harness. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect first. Check webbing, stitching, D-rings, and buckles before every use.
- Shake out and orient. Hold by the dorsal D-ring; straps fall into place without twists.
- Arms through. Put the harness on like a jacket, shoulder straps over both shoulders.
- Buckle the chest. Connect the chest buckle at mid-chest height.
- Buckle the legs. Connect each leg strap; snug so a flat hand fits but a fist does not.
- Adjust and check. Set all adjustment points and confirm the dorsal D-ring sits between the shoulder blades.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before every use, and have a competent person perform a documented inspection at least every six months under ANSI Z359.2 practice. Remove the harness from service for any of the conditions below.
- Webbing: cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, or chemical damage.
- Stitching: broken, pulled, or abraded threads at load-bearing junctions.
- Hardware: cracks, corrosion, or deformation of D-rings and buckles.
- Impact indicators: any deployment (models so equipped).
- Labels: missing or illegible.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest event, a deployed impact indicator, or any condition where the inspector cannot positively verify the harness is fit for service.
