What is the minimum number of tie-off points required for a crew working above 130 feet?

For a crew working above 130 feet, the requirement for a minimum of two tie-off points is based on safety protocols established to prevent falls and ensure the protection of workers who are elevated. This requirement recognizes that, at such heights, the risk of falling increases significantly, and redundancy in safety measures is essential.

Utilizing two tie-off points allows for one to serve as a primary anchor and the other as a backup. This design helps in maintaining safety in the event that one tie-off point were to fail. By ensuring that workers are securely anchored with multiple points, the likelihood of severe injury or fatality from falls can be vastly reduced.

The focus on two tie-off points aligns with industry best practices and regulatory guidelines that prioritize worker safety in elevated work environments.
