General industry positioning and restraint lanyards connect to D-rings on the hips of a worker's safety harness or body belt to help keep the worker correctly positioned as he or she works or to prevent the worker from coming too close to a fall hazard such as an edge.Positioning and restraint lanyards attach to D-rings on the hips of a worker's safety harness or body belt. They help keep the worker correctly positioned while working, which allows the worker to have both hands free for work and reduces the energy it takes to work in place for long periods of time. They also restrict how far a worker can travel to prevent the worker from coming too close to a fall hazard, such as an edge. Positioning and restraint lanyards do not offer fall protection and are often used with other fall-arrest equipment as part of a full fall-arrest system. Positioning Lanyard, White, Fixed
