5.1.5 Hip Attachment
Elements - Side D-Rings
The hip attachment elements shall be used as
a pair and shall be used solely for work posi-
tioning or travel restraint. Hip attachments are
often used for work positioning by arborists,
utility workers climbing poles, and construction
workers tying rebar and climbing form walls.
CAUTION: Do not use the hip attachment
elements (or any other rigid point on the
full-body harness) to store the unused end
of a fall arrest lanyard as this may cause a
tripping hazard or, in the case of multiple
leg lanyards, could cause adverse loading
to the full-body harness and the wearer
through the unused leg of the lanyard.
5.1.6 Suspension Seat
Attachment Elements
The suspension seat attachment elements
shall be used as a pair and shall be used
solely for work positioning. Suspension seat
attachments are often used for prolonged
work activities where the user is suspended,
allowing the user to sit on the suspension seat
formed between the two attachment elements.
An example of this use would be window
washers on large buildings.
5.1.7 Suspension Loop
Attachment Elements
The suspension loop attachment elements
shall be used as a pair and shall be used
solely for work positioning.
