• a. bucket having a body terminating in a mouth defining a flanged rim having a peripheral diameter;
• b. a primary tether line placed in an encircling relation on the bucket below the flanged rim and including a first and second end, the first end being fastened to the second end such that the primary tether forms a loop, wherein said primary tether line is dimensioned to have a diameter less than the peripheral diameter of the flanged rim of said bucket, the primary tether line is prohibited from passing over the flanged rim of said bucket such that said primary tether line is retained on said bucket without anchors;
• b. a body harness adapted to be worn by the worker;
• and
• c. first and second straps interconnecting said harness to said primary tether line, wherein said first and second straps are selectively movable relative to and along a major portion of said primary tether line, wherein the first and second straps are sized to prevent the worker wearing the harness from bodily exiting the bucket and to prevent the primary tether from passing over the bottom of the bucket when the first and second straps are attached to the primary tether, wherein the first and second straps are positioned to attach on the opposite sides of the bucket.
