[TowerTalk] Fall Arrest & Safety Equipment

[D Calder]

Exactly. Full body.

We use Gravitec for our training. They do a great job. If you want to see
what a belt does, watch this video.

Here is a link to that Gravitec video that shows falls into a waist belt vs.
a harness.  Just click on the button that says "Articulated Mannequin Drop
Tests."
Put your mouse over the lower left of the screen and click on the arrow to
start the interesting video.

I don't know what Stew's training recommended, but I can tell you that a
full body harness with fall-arrest equipment is required for general tower
work. Just a belt is no longer acceptable.
