Falls from far less than that height can kill. If it is safe to be at 10 feet without that equipment, then it is safe to be at 1000 feet without that equipment.

IMHO, the cutoff is just what the construction industry was willing to tolerate. The whole thing is a lobbyist battle between the construction industry and the safety equipment industry.
- newmac 8y agoI think that at a lower height, a rescue is considered to be easier. 10 ft would still require a safety program, it just wouldn't be fall arrest, more likely prevention (scaffolding)
