FAQ

FAQ — Full Body Harness with Forked Webbing Lanyard R-FBH-02023

1. What is the R-FBH-02023 full body harness?

The R-FBH-02023 is a personal fall arrest full body harness equipped with a **forked webbing lanyard**, designed for work at height and fall protection systems.

2. What is a forked webbing lanyard?

A forked (or Y-leg) webbing lanyard branches into two legs, allowing a user to maintain continuous tie-off when moving between anchor points. It’s made of high-strength webbing and often includes energy absorption.

3. What are the key safety standards it should conform to?

Look for compliance with standards such as EN 361 (full body harness), EN 354 / EN 355 (lanyards & energy absorbers), or relevant ANSI / OSHA fall protection standards, depending on your region.

4. What material is used in the webbing?

The harness and lanyard use high-strength synthetic webbing (commonly polyester or similar) with specified breaking strength (typically ≥ 22 kN or higher). Metal components (buckles, D-rings) are of forged/high strength steel or alloy.

5. How should the harness be worn and adjusted?

Put on the harness like a vest, adjust shoulder, chest, and leg straps snugly (no twisting). The dorsal D-ring should rest between the shoulder blades. Always inspect fit and adjust before each use.

6. What is the capacity / user weight limit?

The working load capacity depends on the design; typically rated for user + tools up to around 100–140 kg (or as specified). Always check the harness label or specifications.

7. How do I care for and inspect the harness?

Inspect before each use — check webbing for cuts, fraying, UV damage, and hardware for deformities, corrosion, or cracks. Clean with mild soap and water; air dry out of sunlight. Store in dry, cool place away from chemicals.

8. When should the harness or lanyard be retired?

Retire the harness or lanyard if there is any impact load (fall), damage to webbing or hardware, exposure to chemicals beyond resistance, or if it no longer passes inspection criteria per manufacturer guidelines.

Product Features

Product Features — Full Body Harness with Forked Webbing Lanyard R-FBH-02023

• Forked webbing lanyard (Y-leg) — allows continuous tie-off during movement between anchor points.
• High-strength webbing — durable synthetic webbing rated for fall arrest loads (e.g. ≥ 22 kN breaking strength).
• Forged steel / alloy hardware — D-rings, adjustment buckles engineered to withstand high loads.
• Multiple attachment points — dorsal D-ring (for fall arrest), lateral D-rings (for positioning), possibly sternal D-ring (for other attachments).
• Adjustable strap design — shoulder, chest, leg adjustments for snug and secure fit across users.
• Energy absorption integration — central or lanyard-based energy absorbers reduce arrest forces during a fall.
• Load indicator or fall indicator — visual cues to show if a fall event has compromised the harness.
• Comfort padding or web keepers — less fatigue during prolonged use; keeps excess webbing in place.
