If you have a back injury, keep the belt on. If not, I doubt you need a belt for RDLs, which by definition are lighter than deadlifts. Very heavy barbell curls will benefit from a belt.

Belt for assistance and accessory lifts
Coach,
When I move from the main lifts to the assistance work, do you recommend leaving the belt on? for example, on an intermediate program, I'm doing RDLs after squats, and curls after deadlifts.
Thanks,

That makes sense. I definitely feel the belt doing its work on curls.
