Abstract
An adjustable lineman safety belt having a body secured to a user with a belt tongue. A primary strap and auxiliary strap, each separately and independently adjustable, extend along the body spaced apart from one another and secured at each terminal end to a different D ring. The belt tongue shares D rings with the primary strap. Each strap includes an adjustment member permitting selective adjustment of the strap length, such as by sliding. Strap length adjustment similarly varies the distance between corresponding D rings, maintaining the weight distribution and balance of the overall device. Safety straps connect the auxiliary strap to the body while also permitting adjustment of the length. Drop straps connect the belt tongue to the body and safety strap for added safety in case of a fall. Covers also protect each of the adjustable members to prevent from accidental adjustment while the belt in is use.
