To what should lanyards be attached while climbing?
- A.Antenna mast
- B.Guy brackets
- C.Tower rungs
- D.Tower legs (correct answer)
WhyLanyards should be attached to the tower legs while climbing. Climbing lanyards should be attached to the tower legs, the tower's actual structural members, giving a secure, load-rated attachment point throughout the climb, answer D. Attaching to an antenna mast, guy brackets, or tower rungs (which may not be rated to arrest a fall the way the main structural legs are) doesn't provide the same reliable, load-bearing connection point.
