Positioning & Work Harnesses
Positioning & Work Harnesses are built for workers who need to lean back on vertical structures to work hands-free on towers and scaffolds. They carry side (hip) D-rings in addition to the dorsal D-ring, with a padded waist belt that supports the back during long suspension. They combine positioning points and a fall-arrest attachment in one harness; a separate fall-arrest system must still be connected to the dorsal D-ring during positioning.

About this category
Positioning harnesses differ from ordinary fall-arrest harnesses because their primary role is to let the worker lean back during work. The design includes a wide padded waist belt that bears body weight during suspension, two hip D-rings that attach positioning lanyards at a comfortable angle, a standard dorsal D-ring for fall arrest, and leg straps for load distribution. The positioning stance lets the worker hang in a balanced center of gravity and work with both hands. Typical uses: telecom tower installation crews who work at height for hours, scaffold workers, overhead power-line maintenance, and façade finishing on tall buildings. An important technical note: positioning is not fall arrest; it holds the worker in place. A separate fall-arrest system (SRL or shock-absorbing lanyard) must be attached in parallel to the dorsal D-ring. Load capacity and class vary under ANSI Z359.3 (positioning), ANSI Z359.11 (fall arrest), EN 358 (positioning), and EN 361 (fall arrest). Some models carry multi-class approvals (e.g. A+P under CSA Z259.10), verified from the model label and documentation.
