A work positioning device can be used while climbing step bolts on a concrete or steel pole. True or False?

The statement is false because work positioning devices are specifically designed to allow a worker to be supported while in a position to work, often at height, and while they are not moving. However, when climbing structures such as step bolts on a concrete or steel pole, the worker needs more freedom of movement and a secure means of ascent and descent. Climbing often involves continuous motion and the ability to shift to different holds, which a work positioning device does not accommodate, as it is used for positioning rather than climbing. In climbing situations, different types of fall protection and climbing gear are more appropriate to ensure safety and mobility.
