Tower climbers are only permitted to climb towers certified by the manufacturer to meet the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Association (TIA/EIA) 222 standards for tower construction and 29 CFR 1910.66 Appendix C for anchorages; towers not meeting these standards are red-tagged as “Do Not Climb!” until retrofitted or replaced. Service can be performed by alternative methods such as aerial devices. This training course provides in-depth coverage of fall protection needs in the industrial environment, including specific equipment, harnesses, fall protection lanyards, secondary fall protection lines, anchoring challenges, edge protection, job briefings, ascending techniques, and proper logging and documentation of all equipment and training, following and exceeding OSHA CFR 1910.268, ANSI Z359, and Z490 standards.
