Advice to staff on wearing respiratory protective equipment:

Pour bien porter votre équipement de protection respiratoire, il faut:

(1) ajuster le masque, placer le respirateur sur votre bouche et votre nez, puis amener le harnais sur le dessus de votre tête. Finalement, il faut ramener les ***croix inférieures*** derrière votre tête et les attacher ensemble.
(2) que votre masque soit assez bas sur la voute de votre nez pour assurer une bonne visibilité et un ajustement optimal. Il faut enfiler d'abord les ***croix supérieures***, puis ensuite les ***croix inférieures***.

Straps? Lanyards? TIA

cross-straps

In the absence of any specific official term (though there may well be one), I think this is what I'd use.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth : Given the source text, it's hard to do any better. I've found nothing referring to upper and lower 'croix', just to 'fixation en X (en croix)' = 'X shaped (crosswise) head harness'.

agree Alison MacG : I wonder if it might be a speech recognition or dictation error (croix / courroie)? / Just an idea, as asker in Canada https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1421479O/wear-it-right-6... https://www.cchst.ca/oshanswers/prevention/ppe/wearing.html

Thanks, Alison! Not so sure: I don't thnk this kind of 'strap' would normally be a 'courroie', which suggest in some way driving or controlling something.

Head harness

See this picture of a head harness that seems to come close to the description in your source text: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000057493/ . Note how the harness has two pairs of straps fitted with snap-on attachments. What is not clear to me is whether the "croix" in quastion are the straps or the attachments.
