WxTV will set its sights on the number one cause of fatalities on the job site, falls, and what OSHA requirements you need to know to protect yourself. Tune in to get the goods on the gear to stay safe and alive.
Seriously, this is a terrible video. I appreciate the fact they're trying to raise awareness about fall protection, but very little of what was said here is accurate. In fact, some of the things he did we're deadly, like tying your rope directly in without a shock pack. If you're really interested in learning about fall protection contact OSHA directly or better yet, take a rope access course such as Sprat or Irata before listening to some Yahoo and a painter's harness
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.
MUST READ ABOUT HARNESSES: Remember that wearing a harness loose just to look like you have it on is a great way to completely crush your nuts when you fall. ALWAYS put a harness on correctly or don't wear it at all. You're rather be dead than have the full weight of your body crush your balls.
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?
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.

Great video!
Thanks
The locking carabiners were installed upside down, just saying. Screw down so you don't screw up!
Good video, but why not just use the belts the climbers use when climbing mountains? They cost much less.
What ladder can we use on a second story town home to reach the 3rd level? That is OSHA approved?
Great Video! I used it in my safety training Thanks You!
Use the metric system

Thx for share, good instructions!!!!!!
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
Your safety harness is great,do you supply hand tool arrester which can hang on the harness strap?

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