Technically, waist belts are not illegal to use, as long as you
ALSO have a full body harness on. Some lightweight harnesses do
not have positioning D rings, so used with a favorite lightweight
positioning belt, the combo might make some sense in certain cases.
Also, I believe that there are legitimate uses for a lineman's
belt by itself, (such as rooftops) IF your 'fall prevention'
system is rigged so that a 'fall restraint' is not needed.
