This system consists of: • anchorage/anchorage connector • body wear (full-body harness) • connecting device (shock-absorbing lanyards, self-retracting lifelines) POSITIONING/RESTRAINT* A positioning/restraint system is used to hold a worker in place while allowing a hands- free work environment at ele- vated heights and/or restrict the worker's movement to pre- vent reaching a location where a fall hazard exists. A typical positioning/restraint system consists of: • anchorage/anchorage connector • body wear (full-body harness or body belt) • connecting device (positioning lanyard) SUSPENSION* Suspension systems are used widely in the window washing and painting industries and are designed to lower and support a worker while allowing a hands-free work environment. A typical suspension system would include: • anchorage/anchorage connector (anchor bolt, trolley, carabiner, etc.) • body wear (full-body harness) • connecting device (workline) • suspension device (Bos'n chair) RETRIEVAL The retrieval system is primari- ly used in confined space appli- cations where workers must enter tanks, manholes, etc. and may require retrieval from above should an emergency occur. A retrieval system typically consists of: • anchorage/anchorage connector (tripod, davit) • body wear (full-body harness) • connecting device (retract- able lifeline/ retrieval unit) * The positioning and suspension systems are not designed for fall arrest, and therefore a back-up fall arrest system should be used.
