Tower Climbing Harness

essential components

1. side D-rings - use with work positioning strap. This is what hold you in place so you can use both hands while in the work position.
2. chest D-ring - use for fall arrest devices or descenters.
3. breakaway storage rings - these are usually plastic and are only for storing your climbing lanyards.
4. climbing lanyards - use these 2 as you walk up the tower, keeping one connected at all times while moving the other to the next high position. The Double Leg Lanyard is one type of climbing safety lanyard.
5. Positioning Strap - this is used when you reach your work position, again, so you can use both hands while working. It should be adjustable. Use an Adjustable Positioning Strap to ensure you have a comfortable work distance between you and the tower.
6. carabiner - The clip that goes between the D ring and the harness equipment and tower. Equipment to tower connections are made with the carabiners.
