Those towers are designed to be climbed on the inside

Yeah you shouldn't have the ladder on the outside of a tower even with riggers.
While it might seem like money for old rope I'd advise anyone to take a PASMA course at least once in your working life. Most sites require it regardless if you're using towers, renewable every 5 years. Stealth tax if you ask me keeping people in jobs but never the less very educational.

did look into an hss course I guess similar to pasma
Tie off the Tower just above ground floor level , The stabilisers can move which will make the Tower unsafe
How much are you charging the customer to carry out DIY work on his/her house?

Do u mean the tower or the anchor in wall? Surely the higher the better.
Found this pix with rope tied around stile. I guess wrap rope around both stile and anchor so no movement. Thxs

I don't know, all this namby-pamby tying ladders down these days.
In 1982, I went up a wooden triple extension ladder to the very top of a Victorian three storey house with no ropes and lived to tell the tale...

When helping me old dad (electrician), he used to hold the ladder upright, and I'd climb up out to untangle cables etc at the end of tree branches.
