More About This Product

The Yale CMHYP10 Single Point Full Body Harness is an entry-level fall arrest harness designed for general construction, maintenance, and access work where a single rear attachment point is sufficient for the working task. The harness features a rear D-ring for attachment to a fall arrest lanyard or self-retracting block, adjustable shoulder, chest, and leg straps, and a robust polyester webbing construction with quality stitched joints. Available in Standard and Extra Large (XXL) sizes to suit a wide range of body shapes and PPE layering requirements. Manufactured by Columbus McKinnon under the Yale lifting brand, supplied with a manufacturer's test certificate and operating manual.

Suitable Applications

Suited to general construction, scaffolding work below platform level, roofing access, maintenance and inspection tasks, plant operator work at height, and any working environment where a single rear D-ring attachment is sufficient for the fall arrest plan. Where front attachment, work positioning side D-rings, or rescue attachment is required, see the Yale Two Point, Three Point, Four Point, Riggers, or Rescue harnesses.

How to Fit and Use the Single Point Harness

1. Carry out a pre-use visual and tactile inspection of the entire harness — webbing, stitching, buckles, and rear D-ring.
2. Hold the harness by the rear D-ring, allow it to hang fully extended, and untangle any twisted straps.
3. Place the harness on one shoulder at a time like a jacket, ensuring the rear D-ring sits centrally between the shoulder blades.
4. Fasten the chest strap across the chest and adjust to a snug fit, ensuring the strap sits flat and is not twisted.
5. Bring each leg strap through and between the legs, fasten the quick connect buckles, and adjust to a snug fit — should allow a flat hand to fit between strap and thigh.
6. Adjust the shoulder straps so the chest strap sits at sternum height and the leg straps sit comfortably without binding.
7. Verify by reaching back that the rear D-ring is positioned between the shoulder blades and is freely accessible to the lanyard or retractable block.
8. Connect the lanyard or retractable block to the rear D-ring using a compatible EN 362 connector, ensuring the gate is fully closed and locked.

Warning:
Never use a harness that has arrested a fall without a competent person inspection. Never modify the harness in any way. Never use the harness with damaged webbing, stitching, or hardware. Always attach to a certified anchor point rated to a minimum of 12 kN. The harness is one element of a fall arrest system — the system as a whole must be planned, installed, and used by trained competent persons.

Safety Information

• Read and understand the manufacturer's operating manual before first use.
• Carry out a pre-use visual and tactile inspection before every use, checking all webbing, stitching, buckles, and D-rings.
• Withdraw the harness from service immediately if any damage, fraying, cuts, burns, or distorted hardware is found.
• Always attach to a certified anchor point rated to a minimum of 12 kN (1200 kg).
• Never use a harness that has arrested a fall — it must be removed from service and inspected by a competent person before re-issue.
• Ensure the harness is correctly sized and adjusted to the user before each use.
• Train all users in the correct fitting, inspection, and use of the harness before authorising use at height.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect the harness visually and by hand before each use, paying particular attention to webbing for cuts, fraying, burns, or chemical damage, stitching for breaks or pulled threads, buckles and adjusters for distortion or damage, and D-rings for cracks, wear, or deformation. Clean using warm water and a mild detergent only — do not use solvents. Air-dry away from direct heat. Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, sharp objects, and chemicals. Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and PPE Regulations, a thorough examination must be carried out by a competent person at least every 6 months, with records kept. The maximum service life of a height safety harness is typically 10 years from date of first use, subject to inspection — refer to the manufacturer's manual for the specific service life of your model.
