falling exists, the employer must ensure the worker is
instructed in the fall protection system for the area and the
procedures to be followed.

PCSB Approved PPE Guidelines MY ALL S 04 003
Personal Fall Protection Rev. 0 Nov 2001
1.3 Precautions
Always use safety harness when working at height. Never
use safety belt.
Safety belt which only goes around the waist are hazardous
because:
The waist belt will compress the stomach area
and diaphragm and will make breathing
impossible.
Unless prompt rescue is available the person will
suffocate.
A person may fall out of the belt if his waist is
larger than his hips or if the belt is not worn
correctly.
The impact felt when coming to the end of the
safety line will concentrate all the energy on the
spine and can cause severe injury.
