The picture of the worker with a harness looks to be attached directly to a piece of unistrut. I don't believe that would satisfy OSHA and I'm not sure that would support 5000lbs. It may provide confidence of being attached to something. He should use an edge rated SRL or just a fall restraint lanyard that would prevent a fall from occurring, depending on where else he needs to work. It's hard to find anyone to rent guard rails or similar fall prevention systems in my area.

Is it common to mount a Parapet with a wall mount to the exterior of a building wall to get better angles and vantage points?
