So this thread is to get us to think about safety…
The picture above,(walking the roof) is not any different then the cleaner we saw on You Tube walking the 5 story ledge without a safety line! Sure that video seemed way more dangerous but walking steep roves is as dangerous.
It’s to show and teach people here what to look for while doing dangerous work and what cleaners should try to to refrain from to prevent accidents, or do, ergo a safety line , a lot of accidents occur from falling off roves…I fell off a roof and survived, thank God !
Lets say it’s a visual learning process before we find ourselves in this situation taking over calculated risks, we all take extreme risks at sometime or another and I’m only trying to give others a feel for safety to help keep them safe.
Sure people are still going to continue to do as they please whether right or wrong, but as cleaners we still need to be pointed to what is safe and unsafe it may just save our lives or a friend of ours life.
Even a cleaner with years of Journeymen experience take undue risks and they also have accidents, I did by not wearing korkers on a wood shake roof.
Just because we can do it doesn’t mean we are being safe, Yawl !
This fella on the roof should also be wearing a safety line in this situation, this roof is to steep to be walking even with korkers ! He is putting himself at undue risks and it only a matter of time before something serious can happen !
You know danger is prevalent even on a 4’ step ladder, you can smash your scull or even break your neck.
So to say again the purpose of this thread is to initiate safety, thinking safely and working safely, to think things through before we…step into oblivion !
I hope we all work and think Safe !
