> I purchased the proper FAH gear. One question I had is when working at
the top of a tower, what is the recommendation for attachment point? My
understanding is it is supposed to be *above* you. What if there is nothing to
clip at a point higher than you are working? If you are using a 6' FAH,
that's a long drop if clipped in where you are standing...
Use a shorter FAH or a 3' positioning harness plus the FAH?
The only attachment point in this common scenario should be above you,
in this case - the mast. You can use a sling as a choker around the mast.
Otherwise use the highest point you can find. It might not be above
you but will still function as fall arrest lanyard, albeit you'll fall a
little further initially. Since the trickiest part about a crank-up is
climbing
it, the FA system will be most helpful when climbing.
At least you won't hit the ground or other object.
Cheers & climb safe,
