Fall Protection Positioning Device Systems

Positioning device systems are body belts or harnesses that allow the user to safely work on a vertical surface, such as a wall or column, while working with both hands. These systems must be rigged so that the user may not free fall more than 2 feet. The positioning device system should be capable of withstanding twice the potential impact load of an employee's fall (that is, the amount of force a person's body exerts on the system when coming to a stop). Like PFAS, positioning device systems are to be used by personnel only, and not to hoist materials.

Positioning device connectors (including dee-rings and snaphooks) must adhere to the same standards as those for PFAS. Inspect positioning device systems prior to each use, and remove any defective components.
