Body belts are commonly worn around the waist by workers in industries like construction, mining, and oil and gas. They serve two main purposes: helping workers position themselves correctly and preventing falls. With a front attachment point or D-ring, workers can connect to a secure anchor point, maintaining stability while working at heights. Body belts also offer some fall protection, acting as a restraint system in case of slips or loss of balance. However, it’s important to note that body belts alone are not enough for fall arrest and should be used with a full-body harness and appropriate fall protection systems. Proper training is crucial for workers to understand how to use body belts safely and effectively.
