Subpart V of 29 CFR 1926.
1926.951 covers tools and protective equipment.
1926.959 talks about Lineman's body belts, safety straps, and lanyards.
You should be able to read all about it somewhere in the depths of http://www.osha.gov

The co-op i work for is moving towards 100% fall protection, and many utilities have already made that move. Since everyone is doing it on their own (for obvious reasons) it wouldn't surprise me if OSHA included it in the near future.

I still have my own pole belt.
If you are working at the top of a pole, what do you attach to?, with respect to fall protection?
