It's my understand, which could be totally wrong, that the employer HAS to proved the safety harness and lanyard. And if you were to wear your own equipment, you would not be covered. My employer was told they have to provide us with retractable lanyards, because if you take the length of our lanyards, the shift in the harness, the stretch in the lanyard deploying, etc... it's useless at 16'. Also be careful how you wear it, as guys have had their testicles pop out of the skin if not adjusted correctly. ...sometimes falling to your death doesn't sound so bad!
