Portwest FP64 Scaffolding Kit with Comfort Plus Harness
The Portwest FP64 Scaffolding Kit brings together a two-point Comfort Plus harness and a twin-leg shock-absorbing lanyard for assessed work at height. Grouping these components with a drawstring bag helps keep the kit together during transport, issue and storage between tasks.
The harness provides shoulder adjustment positions so the wearer can achieve the fit described in the supplied instructions. Correct fitting matters throughout a shift: straps and buckles must be checked, and only the attachment points designated for the chosen system should be used.
A double lanyard with a shock absorber, snap hook and two scaffold hooks forms the connecting assembly. Its suitability depends on the anchorage arrangement and planned movement, including adequate fall clearance and a safe connection sequence specified by a competent person.
Portwest lists a maximum rated load of 100kg for FP64. Select it within a complete work-at-height plan that includes training, inspection and rescue provision. Compare the wider fall-prevention equipment range when specifying compatible equipment for the task.

Directions for Use
Assess the task and complete system
A competent person must determine whether FP64 suits the work, identify suitable anchorage points and confirm the required clearance and connection sequence. Establish a rescue plan before starting. Check all component instructions and rated-load limits, including the complete load carried by the wearer.
Inspect and fit the harness
Before each use, examine the harness, lanyard, absorber, connectors and identification labels using the supplied inspection guidance. Fit and adjust the harness as instructed, then check the buckles, straps and designated attachment points. Do not use equipment with damage, uncertain history or unreadable essential identification.
Connect and move as instructed
Use only compatible connectors and assessed anchorage points, and verify that connector gates close and lock correctly. Follow the planned sequence for moving between anchors and the manufacturer's rules for both lanyard legs. Avoid sharp edges, incompatible connections and other hazards identified by the assessment.
Care for the kit and withdraw it when required
Follow the individual component instructions for cleaning, drying, storage and periodic examination. Store the clean, dry kit in appropriate conditions, using the bag to keep it together. Remove the equipment from service after a fall or whenever its condition is in doubt, and follow the prescribed examination and retirement process.

FAQs
What is included in the Portwest FP64 kit?
The kit contains a two-point Comfort Plus harness, a double lanyard with shock absorber, a snap hook, two scaffold hooks and a nylon drawstring bag. Check the supplied component documentation before putting the complete kit into service.
What is the maximum rated load?
Portwest lists 100kg as the maximum rated load for FP64. Selection must account for the complete user load and every component's instructions; the kit listing does not replace the assessment of the full system or its anchorage.
Does a twin-leg lanyard automatically make movement safe?
No. The two legs support a planned connection sequence, but safe movement still depends on suitable anchors, compatible connections, adequate clearance and trained use. A competent person must define how the equipment is used for the particular task.
Is a site anchorage included?
A site anchorage is not listed among the kit contents. Suitable anchorage must be provided and assessed separately. The presence of scaffold hooks does not mean that every scaffold component is an acceptable anchor point.
Can FP64 be used without a rescue plan?
No. Rescue provision must be planned before work begins, alongside the risk assessment and training. The harness and lanyard do not remove the need for a prompt, practicable response if someone falls or is left suspended.
How should I confirm the supplied component specification?
Use the labels, instructions and declarations supplied with the actual equipment, and check them against the planned system. If you need clarification before ordering, contact Astral Hygiene about the current FP64 supply.
