Fall Protection

[@AllySafety]

Hi everyone, thanks for watching! In this fall protection video we had a ton of fun demonstrating how fall protection equipment works with the team at Malta Dynamics. I'd like to give a shoutout to Alex and the rest of the crew at Malta for letting us put their fall protection equipment to the test!

[@vchairry87]

liked you and your video

This video does not have enough likes for how great it is!! Nice job explaining the ABCD's of Fall Protection!!

Thank you so much!

[@JamesLamont-ko9gs]

Thank you very much for your well-designed and planned safety video about Fall Protection.

[@garridoscar1]

Thank you so much for your videos. You have made a really good job put the safety topics in a simple way to understand, keeping the importance they have, that I am using for learning or refreshing knowledge because I will have a job interview for a HSE position. They have been really useful, and you have the real charisma that make me be focus in your explanations.

[@cawarnick]

This is very very well done. I love that you included the ABCD's (instead of just the ABC's) to include the rescue plan.

[@AllySafety]

The fall rescue plans tend to get forgotten about a little too often!

[@maliksutton6634]

Hey Rachel, thank you as always for sharing your insight and the fall prevention is definitely helpful. I was wondering if you have had any time to check out the mask bracket yet?

[@AllySafety]

Hi Malik! Thanks for your feedback! I haven't had the chance to try it yet since this year has been so busy but I definitely see a use for it!

[@maliksutton6634]

@@AllySafety thanks for letting me know and I completely understand with being busy. I hope I wasn't pressuring you about it and it definitely has a good usage 👍. I'll message you more about it if that's okay.

Hi.. If we use wire rope connector as anchor point then how we rescue a worker? Did we wait rescue team?

[@TheBlueExiles]

I see some of them are wearing a helmet, more similar to what you would wear when riding a bike. have you discussed this different types of hard hats?

[@jpadventures7880]

Such great information by such a cutie

[@lauraalmasan3930]

She looks like she has a fun job 😊

[@nickhansen8839]

Why is carabiners blurred out?

[@Leekennedy2970]

When would a worker need to use the lanyard and tie off vs when should they use 3 point contact when climbing ladders?

[@aStupidGecko]

the ABCD’s nuts

[@AllySafety]

😂 Oh my god.

[@linnea8608]

I'm a climber so not really the target demographic, but. I'm really confused about why the "lanyard" is static. Like it feels super odd to me. I guess because it is pretty low falls with a fair bit of slack and you could get a ground fall if it was dynamic?

[@oreolamp5676]

Yeah, the lanyard not having any give confuses me a lot as well. It would greatly reduce the forces on the person falling, as well as the anchor.

[@AllySafety]

Not sure what the timestamp is but are you talking about the self-retracting lanyard? It maintains tension during normal movement.

[@oreolamp5676]

@@AllySafety We're talking about the steel cable used. Steel cables have essentialy no stretch, which seems like it would be a lot more dangerous to use than a rope with some stretch to it, since with a more stretchy rope, the work done by the rope is spread over a much longer distance, making the forces involved much smaller, by as much as as an order of magnitude in some cases. "Static" and "dynamic" in this context just refer to different kinds of rope, static rope has no stretch while dynamic rope can stretch quite a bit.

[@AllySafety]

Oh this is so interesting. There are cases where fabric or rope lanyards are used but we generally want to minimize stretch. The self-retracting lanyards I’m using have mechanisms to prevent jarring but since they also stop extending similar to a seat belt if the cable extends fast like in the case of a fall. That way you have less distance you can fall in the first place.

[@linnea8608]

Okay ^-^ That feels reasonable. Climbers generally take MUCH bigger falls I assume. Like 3m is very normal and more is not uncommon. When you reach those fall distances stretch is pretty necessary to not get hurt. And you are more worried about not hitting the ground, especially if you fell at an odd angle.

[@WaseemAkram-fr5rb]

Excellent explanation. Please can you make a video on, how to pass CSP Exam?

[@AllySafety]

Yes, I’ve got it on my list and am hoping to get to it soon.

[@WaseemAkram-fr5rb]

@@AllySafety thanks. Waiting 😐

[@tristanhubbard6520]

Hi, I am curious but does anyone know why carabiner is blurred in the video?

[@AllySafety]

Because it was misspelled and I didn't want people from the Caribbean to get offended.

[@GrayWolf448]

Random question, but why is "carabiners" censored in the video?

[@AllySafety]

Because of a spelling error! It actually says Caribbeaners as in people who live in the Caribbean which we were told can be offensive so we just blurred it because you can't re-upload a KZbin video.

[@ItsMistaDontPlay]

Why was carabiner blurred out ???

[@AllySafety]

Because we can’t spell. 😐

[@motomfthug8551]

You didn't switch out your harness after you exposed it to a fall

[@caseysimon6357]

😳❤️

[@danielzukeran7625]

Why was carabiner blurred out?

[@AllySafety]

Haha, it was spelled wrong and was potentially offensive to people from the Caribbean. 😂

[@benji9107]

Wait why was carabiners censored?

[@AllySafety]

Spelling error 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@fenceyhen4249]

Wait, so 54% had no access to fall arrest equipment and 23% had access but didn't use it. That only adds up to 77%. How did the remaining 23% of all fatal workplace happen while using fall arrest equipment?

[@AllySafety]

They didn't give a lot of info on those but I'm guessing it's a mix. There are cases each year where people are wearing fall protection incorrectly like they when they haven't calculated the fall distance and their lanyard is too long so they still hit the ground. It'd be interesting to see what the breakdown of those cases is and maybe do a video on it at some point.

[@michellecromwell9184]

you should show the difference between a man's fall arrest harness and a woman's fall arrest harness. Strap placement is different and falling in one as a woman is not as painful as falling in the man's. Fallen in both, major difference.

[@AllySafety]

I like this idea. I’ve actually been asking around to different manufacturers about why some don’t make women’s harnesses and it seems there isn’t enough demand but maybe that’s partly due to a lack of awareness

[@wijub]

I have fallen..... for you

[@technical5782]

[@rrj6068]

Namaste .......

[@mikecrane6096]

Why did they fog-out "carabiners"? Do they think this is too closer to "beaners"?

[@AllySafety]

Yeah, there was a spelling error and we didn’t want to offend anyone by how bad our spelling is or by accidentally using something close to an offensive term.

[@mikecrane6096]

@@AllySafety Good thing you didn't misspell it as "Caraniggers".....

Fall protection is Ball protection 😛

[@measure2ice712]

Nicely produced video. The harnesses used in this video are miserably uncomfortable as the pads that go over your shoulders will dig into your neck making long days wearing this terribly designed harness miserable. Buy a Yates if your a professional. Buy a joke if your a part timer.

The 3/4 refers to the payload capacity. These are heavy-duty pickups like the F-250 and Ram 2500.

[@James_T_Kirk_1701]

I’m sure she has plenty of guys trying to fall on her.

[@simpothyforthadevil1148]

hey you don’t weigh 130 lbs so you should not be in a harness at all.
