Safety-belt type Clause Samples
The 'Safety-belt type' clause defines the specific kind or standard of safety belts required for use in a particular context, such as in vehicles or equipment. It typically outlines whether lap belts, three-point belts, or other certified restraint systems must be installed and may reference compliance with recognized safety regulations or industry standards. This clause ensures that only approved and effective safety belts are used, thereby enhancing occupant protection and reducing liability by clarifying safety requirements.
