Class III harness is aka

• A. Waist belt with leg loops
• B. Full body harness (fastens around the waist thighs or buttocks used for a two person load)
• C. Seat belt style harness
• D. Chest harness

Answer: (B)

Class III refers to a full-body harness, the one that fastens around the waist and around the legs (the thighs/hip area) to secure the torso and legs. This design distributes fall-arrest forces across the body and keeps you upright and supported during a fall or when working in a positioning setup. It’s the correct choice because it provides the necessary restraint and load distribution that a waist-only belt, a seat-belt style harness, or a chest harness cannot deliver. The waist belt with leg loops is more like a partial sit-harness and doesn’t provide full-body support; a seat-belt style harness lacks the required load distribution, and a chest harness alone doesn’t secure the hips and legs adequately.
