>>2816062>how do you protect yourself on these towers?Double-leg lanyard is my primary fall arrest. 100% tie-off, so one leg is attached, make the next connection above/below/around and gate-check before you pull the first connection.
A lot of towers have a cable climb or "lad-saf" system installed. Vertical cable rated for fall arrest up a leg or face. A cable sleeve attaches to that cable, and attaches to the sternal D-ring on your harness. That allows for quick up/down on that ladder or step bolts, cable sleeve trolleys up or down the cable. In the event of a fall, the mechanism grabs onto that cable and a connector bends apart to absorb the energy in that fall.
2nd to that, a positioning lanyard allows you to park and work hands-free. I'm sitting in that almost all day. Attaches to my hip D-rings, or I can move it to my umbilical D-ring for a suspension-sit. That umbilical is what I work off of when I'm on a descender or for rope-access work.
