We have just added a new Fall Protection Training Video to our website (www.snugharness.com). It will be available on DVD shortly so if you would like one for your crew. Let me know! Here is the direct link to the video: |

Did anyone take a look at the video? If so, let me know your feedback. It is our fun (yet informative) overview. In the future. We are going to elaborate more on each segment.
Any comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
I watched; entertaining and seems to convey the stuff I was taught recurrently when I worked for a big corp. I'd add a little emphasis to not leaving someone hanging there though. Never had it happen in my climbing life but supposedly people can pass out from hanging too long; something about blood flow being restricted by the harness IIRC.
Ps, I like the company name, used to see guys wearing their harness like a leisure jacket, loose everywhere especially around the legs. Most would tighten up after I pointed out that their nuts would probably get crushed if they were to fall even a short distance.
I watched the video. I was a safety instructor at the time the fall protection standards were written. Would I use your tape as a training aid? No. I don't get the attempt at humor and I don't like to be talked down to. Not to be offensive or a stiff, but it's no joke when a worker is in a situation that requires fall protection. I know you said more is to come but what exists doesn't explain any of the components adequately. What is a 5000 pound load, any way, and how do you know or test it? The tape should be specific about installing and maintaining tie offs. Demonstrate the angled roof apparatus, where to connect, how to connect, what size screws, where to place them, etc. There's a lot to a harness, it has to fit and be fastened correctly. I have passed out harnesses to newbies and watched them try to get into them, properly. When do you use a retractable lanyard and when do you use a shock absorber. The list goes on for every component. A few jokes in a presentation to workers helps lighten up the lesson but they shouldn't be the whole delivery. Tie to a shingle, fasten to jello? I would overlook these if there was any meat in the presentation but I don't see any. If you are presenting a safety lesson, remember the responsibility that goes along with it, this is a time to be professional.Beat it to fit / Paint it to match
I went to the link and decided that you were spamming. Bob's next test date: 12/10/07
