Lalizas Safety
Harnesses and Lines are
approved according to the ISO 12401:2009 European
standard. As required by this standard all harnesses and
lines have been put under dynamic and static strength
tests, in order to establish their effectiveness in case
of fall. These products are considered as means of
personal safety according to the Directive 89/686 of the
EU and therefore it is necessary to show the CE
certification. Any product that does not carry the
authentic approval CE is illegal and does not ensure
your safety. Lalizas recommend that you buy only
certified products even if it is not required by
national laws.
Donning:
The safety harness is worn in such a way so as to fit comfortably
but not loosely around the body. Depending on the type of harness
the straps are worn around the shoulders or also around the legs as
with a full harness. The safety lines are used by placing the hook
on a secure point on the vessel, while the hook or hitch on the
other end is placed on the D-ring of the Safety Harness. When
securing a child it is obligatory that you use the hitch on the
D-ring and not the hook.
Function:
The combination of safety harness and line can prevent any injury
caused from fall. Even if you fall overboard the harness and line
will keep you attached to the vessel, hence increasing your chances
of being found and rescued.
