I am a roofer that has to wear a harness everyday. And i trip over that rope more than anything. Everytime you step on it it just rolls and your feet come out from under you. Its a joke!

[@rru5766]

ridgewalkerbrian I know it's a little harder to work with a harness on but I don't care cause it could save my life this houses in Colorado are 2 and 3 story's high

[@DLTD]

It’s a habit. Just gotta know your surroundings at all time

[@shreymic]

We had a bad accident a couple of years ago, and have been using harnesses ever since.

Real roofers like myself hate the rope and harness it causes more falls on a roof and more time, only time we need it is on an 8/12 or higher real roofers will now what I'm taking about... \m/

Roofing is the 4th most dangerous job in the US. Real Roofers take safety seriously, and will do whatever it takes to make sure they are Safe.

+Excel Roofing True that

[@andrewchadwick7320]

I was a roofer for a while and we never wore harnesses and I fucking hated it, we had a few guys fall off roofs, and they got injured big time, it's really better if you do wear a harness, sometimes its a pain in the ass but its better than worrying about hospitalization or death 8-10 hours a day

A real roofer? Lmao you sound like someone who's never been on a roof before

[@Astromyxin]

Lol, if given the option, almost all roofers would opt out the mandatory tie-off law(unless tying off was the best possible option. There was a day when jacks and planks were good enough, and I learned from that guy how to be safe. Small platforms beat tripping over a stupid rope that you can't avoid because it's attached to you every five minutes any day. Osha seriously needs to get their shit together. They're going to put roofers out of business. There are other ways to be safe than their tyrannical ways. I don't know about you all, but I keep myself safe in any way that I feel appropriate doing. Survival instinct and a general respect for life and safety keeps me and the people around me alive, not government regulation. It's these seemingly small government impositions upon daily life that turn us all into a 1984-esque society where big brother rules all.

Dude, you have never been on a single roof in your life. You k ow absolutely nothing about the industry

L Rodriguez W. Im a roofer in california and i have slipped on rope and fell, and fell due to mistakes made from framers. Before

[@rudystraight1750]

Ur also not a roofer unless you've stepped on a few metal cap nails!

[@lrodriguez9315]

Rudy Straight I've stuck 1 1/2 roofing nails into the palms of both hands up into my wrist and have banged the clients neighbor . Hows that for being a roofer

[@rudystraight1750]

Lol roofing is a tough but it sure beats wearing a suit and tie, working in an office sitting down all day kissing ass for a promotion

[@gavinoroquearuda9456]

Rudy Straight for laborers and such roofing is tough work but when you start to get to higher positions such as a foreman, estimator etc where you have to learn what you are doing and also kiss ass, it starts to get very physically and mentally draining, there is always someone behind you pressing you to get the job complete and you have to get it done right, every detail on the roof.
