President s Message p3. Commonly Misused Cont d p4. Industry Websites p5. August Calendar When an employee is working above ground levels, whether in a General Industry or Construction setting, fall hazards may be present where appropriate fall protection is required under the OSHA standards. Employees exposed to fall hazards of 4 feet or more in General Industry and 6 feet or more in Construction, require some form of fall protection whether it be guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems, restraint systems or safety net systems. The employer must select a fall protection system that is adequate for the type of work and affords the employees a safe working environment. When using a personal fall arrest system, a full body harness is required. Body belts have not been permissible for many years as part of a personal fall arrest system. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 8,102 deaths occurred as a result of falls from elevations between 1980 and Falls from elevations accounted for 10 percent of all work-related deaths in the U.S. during that period and are the leading cause of death in construction workplace accidents, according to OSHA statistics. More than 85 percent of falls occurring in the workplace result in lost work time. Volume 26-7 Commonly Misused Fall Protection System By: Robin Bennett, Safety Specialist, Atlanta-East OSHA Area Office In recent years, it has become a problem in the roofing industry where employees are using rock rappelling/climbing equipment in place of an adequate personal fall arrest system. The rappelling/climbing harness which fits over the legs and buckles at the user s waist are popular among roofing workers. The workers are attaching carabineers directly to the webbing of the rappelling/climbing harness and using the carabineer as a point of attachment for the lanyard. During the installation of shingles and tiles to the roof surface, workers have to routinely bend over and they find it easier to use the rappelling/climbing harness since the attachment location is in the front of the body at the waist and not in the center of the user s back. This type of system is dangerous, gives the workers a false sense of security, and does not meet the requirements for a personal fall protection system under the OSHA standards. Employers are not always making themselves knowledgeable of OSHA s requirements for fall protection and/or are making the decision that some fall protection is better than no fall protection. This is one instance where that old saying, something is better than nothing does not pass the common sense test and can have serious, if not fatal, consequences for employees that are allowed to use the rappelling/climbing harness system. A personal fall arrest system consists of three elements, each of which is equally important: the full body harness, the lanyard and the anchor point. The harness fits around the person's legs, over their arms and around (continued on page 3) Opinions expressed in any of the articles submitted to the Shear Bull are not necessarily the opinions of the Palm Beach County Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association.

2 2013 Officers & Board of Directors Daniel Stokes President Joe Byrne Vice President Michael Daley Secretary Regina Reed Treasurer/Past President Ronald A. Frano MBA Executive Director BOARD MEMBERS Tom Stevens Walt Millet Glenn Rimpela Mark Landis Ben Preston Mark Terlep George Jacobazzi 2 Message From the President Thanks to a number of our supplier members, our last general membership meeting had a respectable attendance. This meeting was an example of how beneficial our meetings can be to our members. Cara Barrick, Esq. of the Loren Law Firm spoke about important Human Resource issues. She covered what all contractors need to know about the Fair Labor Standards Act which deals with issues about minimum wage, overtime pay and record keeping. She gave us insights into Obamacare and its effects on small businesses. These subjects have grave consequences for our contractor member and could result in costly penalties. It is clear that times are changing. Boot strap operations without proper record keeping are no longer an option. Knowledge becomes an important asset for any business. And that knowledge can come from informative trade association meetings. We ask our members to pay attention to future meetings and their subjects. There will be no meeting in July due to the conflict with the FRSA conference and convention. In August just prior to the hurricane season, our speaker will be Steve Weagle, Chief Meteorologist for WPTV. Future meetings will include financial planning, OSHA Fall Protection issues and public speaking hints to help in presenting your company in a positive light. Mark your calendar now and plan to attend.

A D-ring is located on the harness between the person's shoulder blades where the lanyard is attached. Should a fall take place, the person will be suspended in the harness. It is critical that the employer and employee select a harness that fits properly around the employee s body. If worn loosely, a person can be thrown out of or slip from the harness. Adequate clearance must be calculated to ensure that the worker does not hit the ground. This includes taking into account the worker s height, lanyard length, anchor point location, and height of the work level. Personal fall arrest systems must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage and other deterioration, and any defective component removed from service. When a component of the personal fall arrest system is damaged or is subjected to impact loading, it must be immediately removed from service and not be used again for employee protection until inspected and determined by a competent person to be undamaged and suitable for reuse. The employer must provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall or ensure that employees are able to rescue themselves. It is also the employer s responsibility to provide a training program for each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards. The program must enable each employee to recognize the hazards of falling and the procedures to be followed in order to minimize these hazards. Employers must keep a written record certifying that they have trained their employees. If an employee demonstrates that they do not understand the fall protection guidelines, it is the employer's responsibility to retrain them. In OSHA s construction standards the regulation requires a competent person to ensure all fall protection systems have been installed and are being used correctly on an ongoing basis. The employer must also determine if the walking/working surfaces on which its employees are to work have the strength and structural integrity to support employees safely. Employees shall be allowed to work on those surfaces only when the surfaces have the requisite strength and structural integrity.
