Because at hours like this are very dangerous no matter what kind of ladder you have. Just like an anything in life something that's dangerous needs to be approached with caution, intelligence, Common Sense, awareness, and ultimately Safety First! Because if you can't be safe you can't do your job! I'm literally standing under a 150 radio tower, these things are massive. (Here for work obviously).
This video should be watched as a mandatory protocol for all tower companies, especially during Probationary, and Orientation periods!!!.
What a fantastic resource this video is. Thank you NATE. Well done.
Excellent ! Look forward to more useful videos!
I really hate to see all of the people who whine about having to tie off when climbing. It may be a little inconvenient, but worth the trouble.
Same, I've worked climbing wind turbines and some people just don't see it happening to them.
if people have to climb these things, why don't they construct them to make them more climbable ..with some kind of ladder built in
rhymeandreasoning Because some moron would try to climb with no safety equipment at all.

@@djcrobo2877 150 is not too bad thankfully. The towers I climbed were close to 340tt
Safety first! 100% tieoff
Not being a hater but your lanyard side bite on the tower is not as strong as being on a strap on straight
Yes, however, some people trust their lanyards more than a tower member because if the member breaks, you’re screwed.
