[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1683297, member: 11766"] if your crane walkway (tower crane I assume from your narrative) has a safety rail you dont need a harness and landyard. I worked in between out safety deptartment and the work force for several years. Some of the safety people over do what they think we need to do... because they dont under stand how the rule relates to the regulation that governs it. FALL restraint is a good thing. We just don't do a very good job of it in the USA. The safety engineer reads the reg... "looks" at what they do in Europe or Canada, then gets bamboozeled by the Salesman who wants to sell a lot of new gear. OSHA... good and bad. Lot's of rules...little enforcement other than closing the gate after the horse is out. It takes a long time and multiple occurances of the SAME accident to get a reg added. We do some of that to ourselfs when we cheat a rule or good sense and get bit. [/QUOTE]
