I think it has to do with tying off. I know that in the industrial regs
you have to tie off above 4 feet. I am not sure about construction, but i
think that id where the 10 foot rule is.
Sounds like the contractor dosen't want to buy hs workers any safety
equipment.

OT- why 4 feet? you have to climb higher than that to tie off a 6 foot
lead and then if you do fall you still hit the ground because of the
"soft break" feature in most tie off lanyards today.
