Work Positioning - a technique that enables a person to work supported in tension or suspension by personal fall protection equipment in such a way that a fall from a height is prevented or restricted (normally used in conjunction with an independently anchored back-up/fall arrest system).

Either way, work positioning is intended to reduce the risk of a fall by limiting a person's ability to get into a place where they can fall, as there are physical barriers or equipment that can be implemented to achieve this aim.
