If you work in Connecticut—construction, maintenance, warehousing, utilities, telecom, or even a small roofing crew—you’ve probably heard someone say, “Yeah, we know the OSHA rules.” But then you look around and notice: Let me tell you something as someone who’s been on Connecticut sites for a long time: fall hazards don’t care if the job

If you’re working in Colorado—whether you’re climbing roofs in Denver, doing HVAC on a snowy rooftop in Colorado Springs, or framing a house in Fort Collins—here’s one truth you can’t ignore: Falls don’t care how experienced you are. New guys fall. Old guys fall. People who “know what they’re doing” fall.And in this state, where

If you’re looking for Fall Protection Training in California, let me tell you something upfront:California is not like the other 49 states when it comes to safety rules. And if you’ve worked here long enough—whether you’re a roofer in Fresno, an ironworker in LA, a carpenter in San Jose, or a solar installer in Bakersfield—you

Let’s be honest: most people don’t think twice about where they clip their harness. I’ve seen workers snap onto anything that’s chest-high, convenient, or “looks strong enough.” Pipes, scaffolding rails, rebars, forklift masts—you name it, I’ve seen someone clip to it. And every time, I cringe a little. Because here’s the truth most folks don’t

If you’ve ever picked up your safety harness, looked at the frayed webbing or faded label, and asked yourself, “Is this thing still safe to use?” — you’re not alone.

Let’s be honest for a second.If you’ve worked in construction, maintenance, telecom, steelwork — anywhere people climb or work at height — you’ve seen harnesses being shared all the time. Sometimes it’s one lonely harness hanging on the job trailer wall, and ten guys are expected to take turns with it. Sometimes it’s a random

Let’s be honest—if you’ve used your fall protection harness for more than two shifts in a row, you already know it gets dirty fast. Sweat, cement dust, grease, mud, grime, that random sticky stuff nobody wants to identify… it all ends up on your straps. I’ve picked up harnesses that felt like a stale tortilla

Let me tell you something I’ve seen more times than I can count: a worker opens a brand-new, still-crisp fall protection harness… and before even adjusting the chest strap, he whips out a fat black marker and writes his name in giant letters across the shoulder strap. And then everybody on site starts asking the

If I had a dollar for every fall protection rope I’ve seen that should’ve been retired years ago, I’d probably have enough money to buy every guy on the crew a new harness. I’m not even kidding—people treat ropes like they’re immortal. Maybe it’s because ropes look tough. Maybe it’s because “it still looks fine”
