L.2.3.2.1 This method of work positioning is used on relatively steep or slippery sloping surfaces, e.g. a roof or a steep concrete or grassy banking. It utilizes an anchor line (which, in work positioning systems is sometimes referred to as a work positioning lanyard), which is attached to an anchor point above the user. In non-adjustable systems, the user is connected directly to the anchor line, e.g. by a fixed loop termination in the anchor line, which is connected to an appropriate attachment point on the user’s harness. In adjustable systems, an adjustment device is connected to the anchor line and to the user’s harness (see Figure L.1). The adjustment device allows the user to vary their position on the anchor line. With the feet or knees braced against the sloping surface, the user is able to lean backwards to attain a partially supported position, leaving the hands free to carry out the work.© IRATA International Annex L: page 2 of 11 2014-Aug-01
