What are the two harness attachment points called?

• A. Shoulder and Hip
• B. Sternal (upper frontal) and Ventral (lower frontal)
• C. Dorsal and Lateral
• D. Anterior and Posterior

Answer: (B)

The two front harness attachment points are named for where they sit on the body: the sternal attachment at the upper front near the sternum, and the ventral attachment at the lower front around the abdomen/pelvic area. These front points are distinct from the back attachment, which is called the dorsal point and is typically the primary fall-arrest anchor. The front points are used for specific work-positioning and alternative rigging as needed. The other terms describe different body regions or orientations and aren’t the standard names for these two front attachment points.
