SAFETY HARNESS
For your own safety, you should wear an approved
parachute-type safety harness (fig. 3-5) with a safety
lanyard and a tending line (as required) with double
locking snap hooks whenever you work aloft. (The
lineman-type safety belt is no longer authorized for
use.) Safety harnesses should be checked periodically
as prescribed by the Planned Maintenance System.
Place the tools that you will use on the job in a canvas
bag and haul the bag up with a line to the job location.
To guard against dropping tools and seriously injuring
someone, tie the tool you are using to your safety
harness with a piece of line.
