Re: [AFMUG] Fall protection for rooftop
What would it cost to have a steel cable type rail installed? I think that
a rail is required if you will be within a certain distance from the edge.
Where are my OSHA guys? Somebody has to know this rule. That being said,
We've never had rails on the rooftop sites for any company that I have ever
worked for.

it's way safer than climbing a tower but they don't see it that way.
I was thinking maybe some of those interlinking steel crowd barriers?
Can't really find a source for those either and they look to be like $25
per foot which will also cost a fortune...
Maybe one of those retractable fall protection things anchored to the
middle of the roof ?
Re: [AFMUG] Fall protection for rooftop
My cirumstances are a pain in the ass, they won't even let me on the roof
to survey it because it's so dangerous no one goes up there. ... The
alternative they suggested instead of a non-pen on the roof? Mount a 20ft
pole on the side of the building and try to install and service the
antennas using a extension ladder, lol

We just clip on to it.

Re: [AFMUG] Fall protection for rooftop
What kind of roof? They make a safety cable system that spans work area
that workers attach to
When working. Think tower safety climb but horizontal
