Let’s be honest: scaffold work looks simple from the ground. You climb up, you start working, and that’s that. But anyone who’s spent time on a jobsite knows scaffolds can get sketchy real fast. And the biggest thing that trips people up—besides loose planks—are the fall protection rules. I’ve seen everything: guys walking on a

Let me be honest with you right from the start:If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me, “Do I really need fall protection in this lift?” — I could probably retire early. Aerial lifts confuse a lot of people because the rules aren’t the same for every type of lift. Boom lifts

Let me tell you something I’ve learned from years of working in warehouses, construction sites, and pretty much anywhere you can park a forklift: the question of fall protection always comes up. Almost every new operator has asked me the same thing at some point: “Do I need to wear a harness while driving a

Let’s be honest — scissor lift fall protection is one of those topics that always starts an argument on the jobsite. Ask ten guys whether you need a harness on a scissor lift and you’ll get ten different answers. Some will swear up and down that it’s required. Others will tell you they’ve never worn

If you’re working in Georgia—whether you’re on a roof in Savannah, climbing a telecom tower outside Macon, or walking a warehouse mezzanine in Atlanta—there’s one rule that never changes: If you can fall, OSHA expects you to know how not to. And because Georgia follows federal OSHA (there’s no state-run OSHA plan here), the rules

If you’ve spent even one day working on a Florida construction site, warehouse, solar installation, or roofing job, you already know this: Florida does not play nice with heights. The sun beats down on you, the humidity fogs your safety glasses, and that roof you’re standing on? It heats up like a frying pan by

Let me tell you something upfront: choosing between in-person and on-site fall protection training sounds like a small decision… until you’re the one responsible for making sure an entire crew stays OSHA-compliant and doesn’t end up one slip away from a workers’ comp nightmare. I’ve taken both types of training. I’ve taught both. I’ve seen

If you’re trying to choose a fall protection training provider, let me tell you something from experience: not all training is created equal. Some classes will actually teach you how to stay alive on a roof, beam, or lift… and some will just hand you a certificate and hope you don’t ask questions. I’ve taken

If you work at heights in Delaware—whether you’re roofing in Wilmington, climbing ladders in Dover, or unloading at the Port of Wilmington—you’ve probably heard the same reminder over and over: “Make sure you’re tied off.” And honestly? There’s a good reason for that. Falls continue to be the No. 1 killer in construction, nationwide and
