Portwest FP15 Two Point Comfort Plus Harness
The Portwest FP15 Two Point Comfort Plus Harness brings together an adjustable full-body harness and a padded positioning belt. Its contoured back pad is designed to support wearer comfort, while shoulder, chest and leg adjustments allow the fit to be set over the clothing used for the job. This is the black Comfort Plus model with contrasting yellow leg straps shown in the product image.
An extended dorsal D-ring strap arrangement helps users access the rear connection. Two side D-rings provide the specified work-positioning attachments. These features serve different functions: the side rings must not be used to arrest a fall, and every connection must follow the purpose marked on the harness and described in Portwest's instructions.
The FP15 uses nylon webbing, heat-treated alloy steel hardware and flat-bar buckles. A protective cover helps shield the product label used for identification and inspection records. Portwest lists EN 361:2002 and EN 358:2018, together with a 100kg maximum rated load, so the model can be assessed against the requirements of the planned system.
Select compatible fall-prevention equipment as part of a complete work plan, including suitable anchorage, clearance and rescue arrangements. The harness is supplied as an individual item and does not include every component needed for a working system.

Directions for Use
1. Assess the harness and connecting equipment
Have a competent person select the FP15 and compatible components for the task. Read the supplied instructions, check the 100kg maximum rated load and confirm the permitted attachment functions. Establish suitable anchorage, required clearance and a rescue plan before work starts.
2. Complete the pre-use inspection
Examine the webbing, stitching, padding, buckles, D-rings and labels. Check the equipment's history and required examination records. Do not use a harness that is damaged, has arrested a fall or has an uncertain condition; keep it separate pending the manufacturer's specified assessment.
3. Adjust the fit and use the correct attachments
Follow Portwest's fitting sequence and adjust the shoulder, chest and leg straps over the user's work clothing. Ensure the webbing is correctly routed and buckles are secured. Connect only to the attachments specified for the chosen system, keeping work-positioning rings distinct from fall-arrest connections.
4. Care for and record the equipment
Check the harness after use and follow the manufacturer's cleaning, drying and storage instructions. Maintain identification and inspection records, and arrange competent-person examinations at the required intervals. Follow Portwest's retirement guidance if the harness has been loaded in a fall or its condition becomes doubtful.

FAQs
What is the extended dorsal D-ring arrangement for?
It helps provide access to the rear attachment when fitting and connecting the harness. Use the arrangement exactly as Portwest specifies. Its presence does not make an incompatible connector or an unassessed system suitable for use.
Can the side D-rings be used to arrest a fall?
No. The side belt rings have a work-positioning function. Follow the harness markings and supplied instructions to identify the correct connection for the planned task, and have a competent person check the complete system.
Which parts of the FP15 can be adjusted?
The harness has adjustable shoulder, chest and leg straps. Set the fit using Portwest's instructions and check it over the clothing the user will wear. Padding can improve comfort but does not compensate for loose straps or incorrectly secured buckles.
What is the maximum rated load?
Portwest specifies 100kg for the FP15. Check the supplied loading guidance and the limits of every connecting component when selecting the system. Do not infer a higher harness rating from another item's specification.
Are a lanyard and anchorage included?
This listing is for the harness. Suitable connecting equipment and anchorage must be selected separately for the work method, with compatibility, clearance and rescue arrangements assessed before use. The product photograph shows the harness from different angles.
How should the harness be inspected and stored?
Carry out pre-use checks and recorded examinations as required by the supplied instructions. Follow Portwest's cleaning and storage guidance and protect the webbing and hardware from damage. Remove the harness from use after a fall or whenever its condition is uncertain.
