OSHA Hazards: Fall Protection

[@mroreviews5450]

Great video! This video is to the point and clearly outlines the requirements that, while mandated, if they weren't, everyone should follow anyways. You've done a great job at going through all the major pieces of an entire fall arrest system.

[@fourfortyroadrunner]

It's time to require tower manufacturers, contractors, and building codes to REQUIRE better (any) tie off points on roofs towers and other structures. There is no reason permanent fittings could not be included in the ridge of a typical roof.

[@Jaxwalkk]

For my people in OSHA doing the lil work 1: Anchor 2: Ropes 3: Catches 4: Lanyards 5: FullBody Lanyards

[@adamUDavies]

I used to build scaffolding everywhere and when I started in 1991 we didn't tie off to anything. If you don't respect hights you have no business doing that kind of work. You pay attention when your life matters to you. And you should respect the same to others. I learned alot in my younger years from watching others mistakes.

[@rlcl4913]

Proves that we live in a society of millennial pussies who need the government to tell them what's safe and what isn't.

[@mz7315]

Mistakes happen even in the most experienced individuals. You need to be safe no matter what.

[@5512aimee]

Great Video! I used it in my safety training Thanks You!

[@akkapoor2230]

Mr. Curtis you can find video for training at you tube safety Guru Ashok Kapoor also 20 videos as on date

[@manumutango8863]

Fantastic video

[@maryemerypalmer]

Like the coffee "save". Would be nice to have a list of materials used. Or am I missing the print version here? ?

[@nickc8954]

But to put on a roof anchor you need to be on the roof but then you can't connect to a roof anchor because there isn't one

[@richardsedanari8792]

Nice video for fall protection

[@dkat1108]

It would be nice if you did a video and give some clarification on the difference of both "Personal Fall Limiter" vs "Self Retracting lifeline" and you is it necessary to use a "Shock-Absorbing Lanyard" with them? Also if Working on edge of a 8 ft roof and you fall the lanyard stretch is 60+ inches (give or take) on how much slack is in the rope that only leaves 3 ft of clearance to stop you is there something better that to stop you sooner?

[@ruslanisaev5224]

He said- you don't need a fall protection during a roof inspection and mounting an anchor on the roof - but you can fall down as well , so what to do in this occasion ?

[@MalleusDei275]

Thank you this is very helpful.

[@tgeorge78]

If you’re doing a soft wash , how are you supposed to nail that thing into someone’s shingles?

[@swtechnologies7672]

Great safety video

WOOOHOOOO! LEARNIN.

[@NetoRochasst]

Hello there! I'm Neto from Brazil. Can I use this video to teach technical english to brazilian professionals? I want to demonstrate and practice the listening using your video.

[@yolandagong5247]

Your safety harness is great,do you supply hand tool arrester which can hang on the harness strap?

[@nhungcauchuyenoithuong8552]

Great video!

[@comment5884]

What do you use as a anchor on a metal roof?

[@diogenesstudent5585]

Chewing gum

[@rlcl4913]

Your teeth

Get along, get a-long Kid Charlemagne, Be careful on that ladder, Kid Charlemagne!

[@dantoves]

How many feet up is a three story structure? About twenty to thirty feet.! If I am working by myself three stories high and standing on a steel beam guiding a steel cable with a load being hoisted down or up and I am strapped in, if in case I take a fall, can I use another life line rope a little longer than my life line, to pull myself up to the beam that I was standing on?

[@muharremacar5629]

????

[@rlcl4913]

Can you?

[@gmeh1981]

Thanks!

[@kentinstitution6046]

10 feet or higher?

[@Dunaldango]

Good video, but why not just use the belts the climbers use when climbing mountains? They cost much less.

[@Gettinbentoffroad]

Dunaldango cause osha... has to be osha certified to go on job sites.

[@rlcl4913]

Climbing harnessed aren't designed for fall arrest.

[@charlotteice5704]

Rock climbing harnesses are usually not full body harnesses, but only hip harnesses. If you were to use any sort of hips-only harness for fall arrest, it would yank on your hips in case of a fall and your back would be unsupported, causing damage to your spine. The tie-in points of a rock climbing harness are also not up to the standards of fall arrest points for work protection as they are located on the front side of the hips and not on the chest (sternal) or upper back (dorsal). In a fall arrest system, if a harness features a dorsal and a sternal attachment point, the one that minimizes unintended motions (rotation, pendulum motion etc) during the fall should be used. A rock climbing harness just has that one point that is in an unsuitable position. Additionally, fall absorption in rock climbing is done completely differently than fall absorption in workplace protection, so a rock climbing harness is not going to be designed to handle the kinds of forces present in a fall in the workplace. Rock climbing harnesses are designed to be as light and unobtrusive as possible, so their straps are very thin which is not going to feel good when you're hanging in it. A rock climber is only going to spend a very short amount of time suspended in their harness as they'll get right back to climbing and generally, consciousness is assumed. For workplace protection, it is not assumed that you are always going to be conscious and generally, you're unable to rescue yourself in any way, so you're going to be suspended in that harness for longer.

[@rolandoalaniz6926]

Please contact me for training. A lot of this information is incorrect.

[@spiritcheetah2315]

How do you attach a roof anchor if the roof is tiled?

[@terrinmartin9104]

pull the tile?? or use cable guide line from other areas. or call your safety guy ALL GCS are required to have a fall protection plan...for insurance purposes.

[@rlcl4913]

If you have to ask this question, you probably shouldn't even be on a roof in the first place.

[@TenHanger]

anchor not going to work well on a slate roof, what then?

[@rlcl4913]

Figure it out

[@5512aimee]

What ladder can we use on a second story town home to reach the 3rd level? That is OSHA approved?

[@Meatwad787]

Curtis Schaper One that isn't damaged, extends 3 feet over the top, stands on a level surface, and is tied off at the top.

[@rlcl4913]

A tall one

[@Anonbruzz]

The rear D loop should be up near the top of your spine

[@willsmith4584]

Use the metric system

[@PaulButali-ex7ik]

Good

[@verongebhardt4229]

Thanks allot

[@dave4854]

I've watched 3 different videos and they all say different things, one said protection at 12 feet, one says protection at 8 feet, one says protection at 6 feet.all according to OSHA

[@jaybennett9026]

Its a minimun of 6 feet.

[@terrinmartin9104]

6ft. go to osha. or...actually get a job on a comercial job. most require you go to a 8 hr class ...paid. and get you hard hat sticker. this is for newbies. no disrespect.

[@Tank.AK85]

It is 6' for construction and 4' for general industry. There are some different specific heights for a particular industries i.e. a scaffold erector is 10' and an iron worker/steel erector is two stories or 30' whichever is less. It can get a bit complicated. Most sites have a specific safety plan that will outline this but if you ever have any questions, feel free to email me. [e-mail]

[@peterwill9660]

I wouldn't listen to any of these guys! They are clearly untrained, uniformed and the video is full of wrong and possibly deadly info.

[@andrewbatts7678]

I have never seen any residential roofer wear a harness, it's more dangerous. You already have hoses and power cords, safety lines are just added trip hazards. If it gets caught up on that could fall off of the roof and land on someone.

[@eisen4672]

Im not sure how my teacher is gonna grade me watching these videos during quarantine....

[@lorenzovazquez6508]

The Best way Avoid accidents is! Every one Have to protect by them self!! If you waiting OSHA COME PROTECT YOU? PROBABLY THEY COME IN WHEN YOU DIE

[@dannythompson7026]

Safety has gotten way out of hand. it's time to tone it down a bit.

[@WesWaagenaar]

+Nigel Gratious Absolutely not. All these safety rules and regulations are what helps keep workers safe. If it weren't for these system many people would be dead and or seriously injured. Sure, it can be a nuisance to set up everything and meet all the requirement; but I would rather live.

[@dannythompson7026]

+Wes Waagenaar Oh that's the same old BS every safety officer gives to make themselves feel important. It's about reducing lawsuits and workers compensation claims to help save the company money. Which I understand from the companies perspective, but these rules and regs have gotten way out of hand and need to be scaled down, significantly.

[@neiljborja]

Yeah man, airbags, seatbelts, and crumple zones are for pussies!

[@jamespal1987]

Very cool video that thoroughly explains fall protection: a common hazard in the workplace! OSHA rules mandates that if you are to fall in 6 feet and above, fall protection should be in place. Train your employees on proper fall protection. Visit 360training.com's EHS programs for more information: www.360training.com/enterprise/environmental-health-safety/
