Where should a shock-absorbing lanyard be attached to a tower when working above ground?
Above the climber’s head level✓Correct answer
To the belt of the fall-arrest harness
Even with the climber's waist
To the next lowest set of guys
Explanation
Anchoring above the climber's head keeps the free fall short, because free fall distance is measured from the anchorage down to the point where the lanyard attaches to the climber. An anchor at waist level or below adds the lanyard length twice over before the energy absorber engages, raising both the arresting force and the risk of striking structure below.
