The following provisions set forth test procedures for positioning device systems as defined in the provisions of 29 C.F.R. S1910.130:

(a) The fixed anchorage shall be rigid and shall not have a deflection of more than

.04 inches (1 mm) when a force of 2,250 pounds (10 kn) is applied.

(b) For lineman's body belts and pole straps, the body belt shall be secured to a 250-pound (113 kg) bag of sand at a point that simulates the waist of an employee. One end of the pole strap shall be attached to the rigid anchorage and the other end to the body belt. The sand bag shall be allowed to free-fall a distance of 4 feet (1.2 m). The pole strap and body belt fail testing if there is any breakage or slippage that permits the bag to fall free to the ground.
