How to Select a Lineman’s Positioning Strap
Depending on your application, choose a positioning
strap that allows you to work at arms’ length from the
pole you’ll be working on. Lineman’s positioning straps are available in five sizes
and with two snap-hook styles: 5'8" (1.7 m), 6' (1.8 m),
6'6" (2.0 m), 7' (2.1 m), and 8' (2.4 m). For more infor-
mation, see the following chart.

Note: The following instructions apply to
right-handed people.
1.
These positioning straps are for use only by
individuals who have been properly trained and who
are qualified to use this positioning equipment.
2.
Before climbing a pole, make sure that both lock-
ing snap hooks of the positioning belt are attached to
the left D-ring of the body belt.
Note: The snap hook closest to the body should
be the snap hook on the positioning strap’s
double end. That snap hook should be engaged
so that the keeper faces outward. The outer snap
hook will be the snap hook on the positioning strap’s
single end. That snap hook should be engaged so
that the keeper faces inward (see Figure 2).
Note: To engage or release the locking snap hook,
depress both the keeper and the lock at the same
time. This can easily be done with one free hand (see
Figure 3).
