Seeing as we are discussing a US tower, US regulations, and
a commercial situation, I really don't see what the need is to
consider Canadian regulations, or at least for me to consider
it as none of the commercial towers I own are in Canada.
If you are in Canadia, then I urge you to check them out
yourself.
I will offer a bit of assistance, if you require more than I
would refer you to the people I use for legal assistance,
but their billing rate may be more than you would prefer to spend.

If you are doing this professionaly, pay special attention to the C-45
law, which basically states you can go to prison for violating safety
rules,
"Every one who undertakes, or has the authority, to direct how another
person does work or performs a task is under a legal duty to take reasonable
steps to prevent bodily harm to that person, or any other person, arising
from that work or task."
Insofar as the US laws/rules, I have already posted those.
For legal adivse, I would contact Alan Tilles, who is one of
the best communications law attornies in the states. While he
may not know Canadian laws, I am sure he would know who
to get your legal advice from there in Canada.

Robert Schwaninger is the other one I would suggest, between the
two of them you have the best with one or another.

As an aside, you were just kidding about climbing with the wind
at your back right?
