If the planned method of work is for the user to be in a partly or entirely supported position, as is the normal case for rope access work, then work positioning equipment may be chosen. In addition to its primary function of providing support, this equipment is designed to be strong enough to arrest a free fall of limited distance and force but will not meet the other essential requirements of a fall arrest system, unless combined with appropriate components. Information on limited free falls will be provided at some future date in Part 3. Work positioning harnesses for rope access work may be a sit harness or full body harness, dependent upon the precise nature of the work to be carried out. In work positioning, there should be minimal slack in the system, e.g. dynamic rope anchor lanyards used in horizontal aid climbing or with a horizontal traverse line should be attached above the rope access technician’s harness attachment point in such a way as to ensure little or no slack, therefore minimizing the
