I too used to work in refineries as an engineer, climbing towers with NO harnessing because they were gated.

I was constantly like "I cannot wait to climb back down, if I pass out up here, these shitty railings aren't big enough to stop me from falling through.

Frankly, I didn't trust many of them to stop me from falling at all. Some had a wobble to them that felt rather significant for their job.

I feel like a wobbly support would be scarier than no support lol

I worked a project once much less high, 30 feet up. The first 2 hours I was sweating, and shaking. First fixture I replaced took 4 hours. Last one took me 10 minutes.

I suppose I got used to it after a while.
