B-Safe Evolve Pole Work Harness, Quick Connect Buckles, Small (BH02030QB-EVOLVE)

The B-Safe Evolve pole work harness with quick connect buckles is a full body harness with front and rear aluminium fall arrest D rings, confined space loops, a padded waist belt with heavy duty aluminium side D rings, rear D ring padding, leg pads, suspension trauma straps and high capacity aluminium quick connect buckles (manufacturer-stated). B-Safe's catalogue says all Evolve harnesses are fall arrest capable, with tailored functionality for confined space, pole work and utilities, and that they have soft twill spill resistant webbing, double thickness padding to the back and legs, a sub pelvic strap, rubber web ends, a Posilock adjustable frontal D ring and a label pack with a QR code linked to donning instructions (manufacturer-stated).

B-Safe's data sheet, for BH02030QB-EVOLVE, lists fall arrest and restraint (on the front or rear D ring) and confined space rescue and recovery using the loops with a spreader bar. B-Safe's range table also lists pole work for this model (manufacturer-stated). B-Safe's data sheet states the harness is AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 certified, and B-Safe's catalogue says its harnesses are made to meet AS/NZS 1891.1 and should be used, cared for and maintained to AS/NZS 1891.4 (manufacturer-stated). Ask AIMS for the certificate that applies to the harness supplied.

B-Safe's catalogue says its harness range provides 140 kg capacity when used with B-Safe shock absorbing lanyards or inertia reels, and that every harness is individually proof loaded to 7.5 kN (750 kg) before final inspection (manufacturer-stated).

B-Safe's technical guide says to inspect fall protection equipment before each use, to check the date of manufacture and the remove from service date on the label, and to take any equipment that has been used to arrest a fall out of use and return it to the supplier for inspection and certification, or destroy it (manufacturer-stated).

Fall protection equipment must be selected, installed, used, inspected and maintained by trained people in line with the manufacturer's instructions and the relevant Australian Standards. Ask AIMS for the instructions and test certificates before you order, and never use it for any purpose other than the one it was made for.
