Safety Harness Connection Guideline

SAFETY HARNESS CONNECTION GUIDELINE

The following guidelines are provided to help
you select the most appropriate locations for
attaching a harness to Ringlock scaffolding.

The guidelines presented in this document do not
replace established Health and Safety guidelines.
Refer to guidelines provided by local authorities.

• The rosette on a Standard is a proper
connection point for the Scaffold Hook
attached to a Lanyard. The Standard must be
continuous to the base plate. No more than RINGLOCK ROSETTE
one
person per 6’-6” (2.0m) lift can be attached to a single Standard.

• The Scaffold Hook attached to a Lanyard must only be connected to the large
trapezoidal holes to provide a suitable anchor point for the appropriate safety
harness.

• DO NOT attach the safety harness lanyard to itself around a Standard because the
edge of the rosette may cut the fabric or it may slip over the rosette to the next
lower rosette increasing the fall distance.

CONNECTION TO A STANDARD

To ensure a positive connection is created it is
recommended that joints between Standards are
pinned together (ensure site/local regulations and
current Legislation are followed). A scaffolder can
connect to any rosette up to the second rosette
above the Ledgers.
