I sent that to our building inspectors last week......... fall protection for new construction or reroof inspections?

Sounds like it's time for the fire marshal's office to do a fire inspection over at the Cal-OSHA offices. Turnabout is fair play.

Poll: How many building inspectors actually use fall protection when on a roof? I've never seen it used around here.........

 

[fatboy]

Never seen it here either.......

Try not to go where I have to have it. Subject to the big WISHA (Labor and Industries) fines.

Regular OSHA (not CAL-OSHA) has an exemption for inspections;

It is not just a California thing--One of my commercial building inspectors drew a fine for not wearing a hard hat--on a final inspection--county attny office negotiating it.

Our guys have fall protection gear in the trucks. Recommended on 4/12 pitch roof, mandatory use over 6/12 pitch

Never go on the roof when deck is wet or has frost or snow on it
