POSITIONING AND RESTRAINT
Positioning and travel restraint
harness: ANSI/ASSE Z359.3-
2007 standard.
The ventral attachment point, the
sternal attachment point and the
lateral attachment points on the
waistbelt are designed to either
hold the user in position at the
work-station, or to prevent the
user from entering an area where
a fall is possible.
These attachment points are not
designed for fall arrest usage.
Always use the two lateral
attachment points together by
linking them with a positioning
lanyard in order to be
comfortably supported by the
waistbelt.
The lanyard must be kept taut.

ANCHORS
Anchors used for personal
fall arrest devices must be
of sufficient strength to
hold a static load applied in
every direction allowed by
the device of at least:
(a) Twice the maximum
arrest force permitted by
the system in use when the
system is certified to ANSI
Z359.2. (chapter 7.2.3)
(b) 22.2 kN (5000 lbf)
when not certified.
When multiple personal
fall arrest devices are
attached to an anchor, the
minimum strength of the
anchor must be multiplied
by the number of devices
attached to it.
