Seat belts
●
The seat belt
itself, or a loose seat belt, can
cause severe injuries if the belt moves from
hard areas of the body to soft areas (e.g. the
stomach).

The shoulder part of the seat belt must lie
on the centre of the shoulder, never across
the neck or the arm.
●
The seat belt must lie flat and fit comforta-
bly on the torso
●
The lap part of the seat belt must lie across
the pelvis, never across the stomach. The
seat belt must lie flat and fit comfortably on
the pelvis Pull the belt tight if necessary to
take up any slack.
●
For pregnant women, the lap part of the
seat belt must lie as low as possible over the
pelvis and always lie flat, “surrounding” the
stomach ››› Fig. 87.
●
Do not twist the seat belt while it is fas-
tened.
●
Once the seat belt is positioned correctly,
don't pull it away from your body with your
hand.
●
Do not lie the seat belt across rigid or frag-
ile objects, e.g. glasses, pens or keys.

similar instruments to alter the position of
the belt webbing.
