Define positioning device system

A positioning device system is a combination of equipment (including a body belt or body harness, and lanyards) which, when used with its anchorage, allows an employee to be supported on an elevated vertical surface, such as a wall or pole, and work with both hands free while leaning.

Differentiate from fall arrest

Unlike a personal fall arrest system which is designed to arrest/secure an employee during an actual fall, a positioning system is designed to prevent the fall from occurring by holding the worker in place while they perform work.

Evaluate the options

• Option 1 describes a personal fall arrest system.
• Option 2 matches the regulatory and safety definition of a positioning device system.
• Option 3 and Option 4 do not represent the primary safety design purpose of these systems.
