which step is first when you are putting on a body harness?
choose an option below

• connect the chest straps and position them in the mid - chest area
• slip the straps over the shoulders so the d - ring is located between shoulder blades in the middle of the back
• pull the leg strap between the legs and connect to the opposite end; then, repeat with the second leg strap
• hold the harness by the d - ring, located in the back
• tighten all buckles so the harness fits snug, but not so tight that it restricts range of motion after all other straps have been buckled or fastened

Explanation:

To put on a body harness, the first step is to hold the harness by the D - ring (located at the back) to position it correctly before proceeding with other steps like slipping over shoulders, connecting leg and chest straps, or tightening. The other options describe subsequent steps (connecting chest straps, slipping over shoulders, handling leg straps, tightening) that come after initially positioning the harness by holding the D - ring.

Answer:

D. Hold the harness by the D - ring, located in the back
