The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the •
front of the pelvis (Fig 11.2) so that the angle of the
pelvic belt is within the preferred zone of 30° to 75° to

and across the chest as illustrated, (Fig 11.5).
Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible •
consistent with user comfort.
Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in •
use.
