That's the funny part, Ed, and the one I am trying to get across to her. Company regs REQUIRE the use of retractable lanyards which, ofcourse, to be of any use have to be mounted above the operator. Tear away lanyards are not allowed at all so we don't even have one in the building (I've still got my old one at home). The same goes for belts. We got some new OPs in last year and they were delivered with the belts instead of full body harness like we normally get. The then safety guy tagged em all out until I could get harnesses delivered. He then showed me on the belt a tag that stated it was not considered fall protection.
