I haven't climbed "for pay" since about 2000 and don't remember ever hearing about this issue
First tower I ever climbed was in '68 at the amateur radio club at Treasure Island, CA, while going to Navy electronics A school 120ft, and I was up that several times. Back then, no harness, just a belt, and the work lanyards had no safety lock/ latches--just the spring gate
