akarunway 1 #1 May 1, 2017 A guy on my job fell thru a ceiling Sat.morning. Not tied off. 30' fall. Not looking good for him.

oldwomanc6 60 #2 May 1, 2017 Yikes! I could never do a job that made me go up and do that. Heights are not my friend. Hopefully, he pulls through.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #3 May 1, 2017 Ouch. Why not tied off? He should have been, right? One of the places I deliver to just instituted a new policy. All trucks have to unhook the supply line (red air line) and the dock worker puts a lock on it (gladhand lock). This is because they had a truck pull out when an operator was on the dock plate. Dude fell off the plate and his lift truck (the ride on kind, not a regular forklift) fell over on top of him. Did not survive."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

BillyVance 35 #4 May 1, 2017 Reminds me of the guy who was walking across the roof of the hangar at Skydive Alabama in Cullman about 12-15 years ago. I don't remember why he and the DZO were up there, probably something to do with the windsock up there. But the guy wasn't watching where he was going and fell through one of those opaque panels that let light through. He was lucky though, he caromed off a support girder which caused him to hit the concrete floor on his side. I don't remember what his injuries were but it wasn't too bad. Fell probably 15-20 feet."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
