Positioning device system

Hazards

• A body-support system allowing a worker to work hands-free on a vertical surface while limiting movement.

Controls

• Do not confuse positioning with fall arrest; use separate protection where exposure requires it.

Personal protective equipment

• Select task-specific PPE only after hazards and higher-order controls have been evaluated.

Regional considerations

• Applicable law, permits, collective agreements, venue rules, and qualified-person decisions take precedence.

In practice
