No place for a post specific to safety

[ICE]

Tell me that I am not the only one to run into this.

Scary, especially since there is a conduit so close that can be used a tie-off point.

Years ago, the local POCO issued a safety bulliting that forbid climbing a ladder unless it was firsttied off at the top.

So did you climb the latter in order to get the second picture?

 

[fatboy]

Got a laugh out of me, but then I thought......well, I've climbed them when they didn't even have that! (pre-inspection days)

 

[ICE]

Yes, with them holding the ladder.

 

[mtlogcabin]

Yes, with them holding the ladder.

Man that is faith!!

 

[brudgers]

Not so much as climbing down after failing them.

I would think that clamping it to the concrete parapet wall with a rubber pad for slip resistance would be more secure than tying it off to the conduit. Not much strength in conduit or its attachemnt to the wall.

 

[ICE]

I didn't fail the work just because of this but I would have.

Believe it or not I have seen plastic bottles and soda cans as caps

A bit better than glass bottles.

 

[ICE]

The notice said, "Install OSHA approved impalement protection."

 

[Pappy Code dog]

Is anyone requiring caps on uffer grounds?

 

[gbhammer]

The notice said, "Install OSHA approved impalement protection."

What you think OSHA won't approve that? I hear that out your way they ticket inspectors on roofs not contractors.

OSHA a cruel hoax.

 

[ICE]

Getting closer. Now let's try something that is OSHA approved.

 

[ICE]

It is nearly vertical.

You just want everything, don't you?.....Looks like they have the feet dug in at least.....Looks like they had enough ladder to kick it back, maybe they don't like em bouncy....

 

[Mr. Inspector]

We don't have the power to enforce OSHA rules here as a building inspector. Do you have a local law that let's you enforce for safety?
