ATP Lineworker Rigging Practices Practice Exam

Under which circumstances is fall protection required during rigging work?

Only when working above 10 feet. Never required; rigging work is safe without fall protection. Whenever working at height or near unprotected edges, per policy and regulation. Only during nighttime operations.

Correct Answer:

Whenever working at height or near unprotected edges, per policy and regulation.

Explanation:

Falls are possible any time rigging work puts you at risk of dropping from a height or into an unprotected edge. The rule is to provide fall protection whenever you are working at height or near exposed edges, and to follow the employer’s policy and the applicable regulations. This means using appropriate protection—such as a properly tied harness and lanyard anchored to a designated point, or other approved systems—and ensuring guardrails or edge protections are in place when needed. It’s about risk, not a specific height or time of day, so protection is required as soon as the task creates a fall hazard.
