osha reg is 6 ft he could use a beam strap and short line lanyard a fall from 3 ft can kill even if he fell and did not die he could be injured and not able to support his family way to many possibilities to list a little safety goes along way and this country can be built with less loss of life it is every persons responsibility to stop an unsafe act when you see it ,what if that was your kid or parent

If he ever falls, he should land on his head. The skull is the most strongest bone in the whole body.

in this situation harness is useless so make a scaffolder to work freely .. and apply safety harness for safety precaution

@blacktoothgriner exactly.

where the fuck would he tie off, and what harness would catch him in time? he's barely 10 ft off the ground...

@stevostono You need some training. You dont wait until someone falls and then tell them to wear a harness when the worker is dead. And with a harness, it would have slowed his decent, even if it didnt full extend, its the way the lanyards are made, which may have saved his life if he would have fallen. I do agree with the put the camera away statement, he should have said something.

im a scaffolder and work at heights all the time, he obviously is comfortable working at height so leave him be, people see someone working high and automatically think the person is gonna die, how do you think the world is built?? If the guy was wearing a harness you would all think it is safe even though he would probably still hit the ground once his harness has ripped open its shock absorber. Go back to your pen and paper and put the fucking camera away,,,

[blacktoothgriner]

so did he fall? did you keep him from falling?

If your so concernd about this mans safety give him a hand.

working short handed is unsafe.

@blacktoothgriner wrong fall protection is required for all heights above 6 feet,,,unless you are connecting working directly with a rig and trained specificly as a connector,,,and you need to have fall protection on ,,,,and then you can only go 25 feet or two floors,,,,oahs sub part r instructor

I don't listen to English. It's another language.

[blacktoothgriner]

OSHA 12 states that fall protection is needed above 25 feet for iron work.All others trades 12 feet.

you still have to where a harnes even when there is no place to tie off.

stop useing safety as a way to my walet.
