Harnesses, Fall Prevention Systems, etc. are not a replacement for common sense....
In most cases, they just get in the way and impede work. I'm a 3rd generation Contractor, I've never used one and never will... and I'm still here (because I have a brain...)
The worker should have been trained to use his safety gear as a matter of habit. And I instruct any of my workers that you NEVER walk backwards on a construction site.
A restraint lanyard should have been used. Even if he was wearing a shock absorbing lanyard, who was gonna rescue him, before the suspension trauma begins, when he was dangling up in the air?
Hello I'd like to bring to your attention a brand new type of full body harness i've found that is better then anything else on the market.. Its called the Rescue One Controlled Descent System (Cds) its here on youtube check it out!
