Why should you wear approved fall arrest equipment if you are working on an antenna tower?
- A To bring any tools you might use up and down the tower safely
- B To keep the tower from becoming unstable while you are working
- C To hold your tools so they don't fall and injure someone on the ground
- D To limit injuries if you fall
Correct answer: D — To limit injuries if you fall. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
