The RGB1 is a work positioning/restraint belt, (see the info sheet on restraint vs. fall arrest). This belt is fitted with two side mounted dee rings for ease of attachment and the back pad provides some lumber support.The RGB1 is normally used in conjunction with an RGL5 restraint lanyard, or a rope and grab system. Traditionally this item has been used by loading crews at docks, on ships, and container handling areas. However it has more recently been used to access and perform roof maintenance, where the restraint system prevents the user from stepping over an exposed edge and there is no other fall hazard.

The RGB2 is essentially an RGB1 with alternative buckle and gear loops fitted, and is a work positioning/restraint belt (see the info sheet on restraint vs. fall arrest). This belt is fitted with two side mounted dee rings for ease of attachment and the back pad provides some lumber support and comfort, especially when tools are hung from the belt loops. As with the RGB1, the RGB2 is normally used in conjunction with an RGL5 restraint lanyard, or a rope and grab system. The uses for this restraint belt are similar to the RGB1 (see RGB1 data sheet), however to prevent the user from dropping tools from height, all tools can be secured to the gear loops by a cord lanyard and also clipped to the belt when not in use. It is important that a client understands the difference between fall arrest and restraint before using this item.
