You don't get around this rule. It is great for you because your tools don't fall to the bottom of the ladder/scaffold, and it's essential for everyone beneath you. The only thing you can safely get around is the cost. Tie line, or any strong cord, and cheap carabiners, will do fine.Hey guys,
So I have been advised by a professor of mine that if I find myself working over head in any union venue I will need to have a lanyard attached to all of my hand tools. I was wondering if this is a real rule that any of you have encountered, and if so how do you get around it?
Do I really need to buy one of these

for every tool I own, or can I just use some tie line and call it good?
As usual I ask because I am just trying to be prepared.
