    Agree with Dave,

    The lanyard is attached above the working position negating the pendulum effect, he isn’t standing on the top arm, which is stated as a method of compliance in the EEA guide you referenced, under section 10 part c. “Installing a working crossarm at a lower level”

    As for a thorough inspection, referencing your company procedure for structure inspections should be sufficient e.g. structure inspected on the day to procedure #XXXXXX.

    Regards
