Depending on the task that your workers are doing, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) may require that they remain in place with a positioning safety belt. These safety tools must be used only in situations where a risk of free fall is not present, as in those situations, it is advised that workers protect themselves with full harnesses. Read More(+)
However, if there is no direct risk of free fall, it is recommended that workers make use of a fall positioning belt to help them maintain their location and keep them from falling. Fall positioning belts are meant to be used in conjunction with a lanyard, and the two tools used together limit a fall to six inches or less. This can greatly reduce the risk of injury for workers who are at risk of falling from low heights and need some extra security.
Harness belts
Even though standard fall positioning belts can be used to keep workers safe at low heights, when combined with a harness, they can be a part of more significant free fall protection that you would find in fall arrest kits. This is a great way to get the same functionality out of your belt, helping you to get the most out of this essential while making sure that your workers are safe.
