Last time the "cable guy" was working in the area he was wearing a Kline 
belt just like my old one.

I have the full harness with fall arrest, but I still much prefer the 
ol', well examined Kline free floating belt. Even being a mix of leather 
for the pad, and neoprene impregnated nylon for load bearing as well as 
the pole strap (which I use with the body harness as well) the belt is 
lighter and more comfortable. OTOH the think it's between 5 and 6 inches 
high where it bears against the body so it's well cushioned 
(comfortable) and being free floating lets you turn with out the harness 
pulling against you.

That's certainly the safest if used properly.
