§ 47.375. Belts and ropes.
(a) Approved safety belts shall be of oak-tanned leather, canvas or other approved equally strong durable material. The belt shall be so designed and constructed that safety terminals do not pass through their fastenings on the body belt of the window cleaner in case one terminal becomes loosened from its window anchor.
(b) Rope, if used, shall be of Yacht Manila, or its equivalent. It shall not be less than 1/2 inch in diameter and shall be doubled in such a manner that the tearing of one section of the rope does not affect the safety of the window cleaner. Larger sizes of rope shall be of corresponding higher minimum tensile strength.
(c) Ropes or straps secured to eyes or rings shall be provided with metal thimbles to prevent wear.
