French term or phrase: Maille sur deux hauteurs
In a list of personal safety equipment that will be needed by future formwork trainees I have "1 maille sur deux hauteurs".

I initially presumed that the "maille" referred to some sort of safety mesh to be placed around the work site, but I now realise it may actually refer to something that is actually worn by the trainee. In either case I can't understand what the "deux hauteurs" is doing here. (And internet searches bring up a lot of results to do with knitting!).

FWIW here is the complete list of equipment (caps are mine):

6 cabochons de sécurité pour tête acier, 2 casques de chantier, 2 chaussures de sécurité, 1 échafaudage de pied, 1 MAILLE SUR DEUX HAUTEURS, 2 gants de protection, 2 lunettes de protection, 6 pinces dalle pour gardes corps, 8 planche de 35 ou 40 mm en 2,00 ml de long pour gardes corps, 4 planches de 35 ou 40 mm en 3,00 ml, 1 plateforme individuelle roulante (PIR), 2 protection auditive.

TIA for your help.
