The KARAM MAGNA 1 full body harness paired with the PN351N 2.0-meter forked energy-absorbing lanyard functions as an integrated personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Rated for users up to 140 kg including equipment, this personal protective assembly provides continuous connection and controlled deceleration across heavy industrial work-at-height operations.
Scaffolding Erection, Staging, and Dismantling
During scaffolding assembly, workers encounter open ledges without continuous overhead lifelines. The 2.0-meter twin-leg (Y-configuration) PN351N lanyard enables 100% tie-off mobility by allowing the user to leapfrog anchor points. While one PN131N forged alloy steel scaffold hook remains anchored to a load-bearing standard or ledger tube, the second hook is advanced to the next scaffold tube before the trailing hook is unclipped. The 12 mm 3-strand polyamide twisted rope legs resist job-site abrasion against steel tubing, while integrated thimbles and clear polyethylene protective sleeves safeguard spliced eye terminations from localized edge wear.
Structural Steel Erection and Precast Assembly
Ironworkers and structural steel riggers operating on I-beams, trusses, and structural angles use this combo to bridge horizontal and vertical progressions. The harness features an ergonomic bent lightweight forged aluminum dorsal D-ring that simplifies connector hook-ins even while wearing heavy rigger gloves. In the event of an accidental slip from an elevated steel member, the integrated PN300 tear-webbing energy absorber deploys systematically to arrest the fall, attenuating peak dynamic arresting forces to strictly below 6 kN in compliance with EN 355:2002 and IS 3521 (Part 2):2021.
Telecommunications and Transmission Tower Rigging
Tower technicians climbing lattice structures, monopole steps, and telecommunication masts require uncompromised harness stability and visibility. The MAGNA 1 harness incorporates high-tenacity polyester webbing with retro-reflective threading, enhancing worker visibility during low-light maintenance shifts or internal tower climbs. Dual front textile loops provide an alternate sternal fall arrest connection point suitable for guided-type fall arresters or ladder climbing safety systems, while breathable knitted mesh shoulder pads minimize heat and pressure concentrations during long-duration vertical ascents.
Industrial Plant Maintenance and Corrosive Processing Facilities
Refineries, chemical processing units, offshore platforms, and manufacturing plants require fall arrest equipment capable of resisting aggressive ambient elements. The metallic hardware across the MAGNA 1 harness utilizes Cathodic Electrodeposition (CED) and black corrosion-resistant powder coatings tested to withstand more than 500 hours of continuous salt spray testing. The assembly connects securely to EN 795 certified permanent anchorage points and structural pipe racks via the 25 kN-rated PN112 alloy steel screw-locking karabiner and heavy-duty PN131N scaffold hooks.
