      An easy way to test it is to stand up straight at the bottom and extend your arms forward. Generally, even with people's different arm lengths, your fully extended arm going directly straight out (not at an angle other than 90 degrees) should land right on the ladder without requiring your arms or body to bend to properly grab it.
      If, from the base of the ladder, you noticably can't fully extend your arm or you need to bend over some to reach the rung nearest to your extended arm, it's probably at a bad angle.

      I really hope nobody follows this guys safety setup or advice . Go out and work and make money but be safe.
      1. Ladder is not correlating with angle to distance
      2. It's not tied off
      3. The pendulum swing on his harness going to the edge is bad judgement not tripping over the rope part.
      4. Correct fall protection should be discussed here. , his harness is on so wrong if he fell with the pendulum swing his nuts are going through his shoulders and he would be in painnnnnn

    There’s directions on the side of every ladder that shows you how to correctly position it, all you do is you put the front of your feet on the bottom of both runs of the latter and stick your hands straight out and whenever your hands can fit on the ladder comfortably with your toes on the front of the ladder that shows you have the right angle

    FYI, a permanent safety anchor can be installed by a licensed roofer for the cost of around $325. It is a good idea for the homeowner to have one of these installed for the safety of those that go up on their roof. It is becoming more common that roof service and maintenance people won’t go on a customers roof unless it has one.

  • @MavWindowAndGutterCleaning
    @MavWindowAndGutterCleaning 2 месяца назад

    I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure you’re using the wrong side of the anchor, if those are the anchors that I think they are they’re only supposed to be used up to 180° on the side of the house that they’re facing. The super anchor is the most common 360° access anchor.

      Part of Fall Protection Safety is having a fall plan... meaning before you go up you need to make sure you have someone watching in case you fall, or some reliable method of calling for help to get you down if you were to fall. I think they said 30 minutes was the maximum time someone should dangle and even then, that's 30 painful minutes.

      ​@@SpencerClaeysI used to clean high rise windows, as well as lots of ladder work, and unfortunately you are not using this equipment properly at all, a simple fall restraint course would teach you to use it, and it's obvious you haven't been certified (at least at this time) or else you would never post this.
      You should clarify the fall restraint system you are using, especially since it's sadly clear that you are expecting it to perform a fall arrest, which that anchor is not designed for.
      That rope should be much more work to deal with, as it needs to prevent you from being able to go over the edge.
      Even when I did high rise window cleaning, we had to use fall restraint before going over the edge, meaning we would not risk a dynamic load, until we were no longer able to, meaning after we go over the edge of the building.
      If you were about to fall over the edge, this system will not prevent your egress, meaning you are going to drop, creating a dynamic load several times greater than the 100 or so pounds of static load these anchors are designed for (500lbs after 5 to 1 safety factor). They are not designed to hold someone's weight, they are designed for someone to fall, that creates a dynamic load of your entire 150 body accelerated, which often exceeds 500 pounds.
      I'm sure you've installed these anchors, so you should know how static load is protected against, that anchor is held in by a few nails that can be jerked out all at once, but is designed with a metal plate to protect it from a static load of fall restriction.
      If this video got to your local safety regulators I can assure you they will give you a ticket for this.
      They are not going to allow you pretend a fall restraint system is going to act to arrest your fall, and even if it could arrest your fall, they certainly require you to use fall restraint anyways because the falling there with fall arrest will still likely cause injury.
      Simply walk out to the center edge, and line up your rope grab so your body can't create more than a 3 foot dynamic surge, so if your feet slipped over the edge your rope is short enough that your ass won't ever fall past the edge. Once you go past that you risk injury, which regulations state you must prevent.
      The ladder is also an issue as many here noted, I see what you did but odds of your ladder tipping on your climb is super high, I've seen in happen since we also do a ton of risky ladder work cleaning windows. In this situation just put it against the fence, and climb on to it. I've had much more awkward spots than that, you need to have the base far enough out so that there is pressure on the wall, which you don't have. Even if you tie it you are relying on that tie to hold it, which is again not legal.
      The only problem having it further out is the bottom can slip out, and while it's possible an inspector will be a dick and ticket you for having out too far even propped against a fence, since the fence wood can break from a ladder kicking, you clearly had a good angle here. Portable ladders are not designed to be used like permanent ladders, there is no fixed point at the top, and you can't just tie a rope or whatever and call it fixed.
      This is more than just safety regs, I was the safety rep for my company, we had people getting hurt and countless near missing from this type of work day in day out.
      A good safety video, which I would applaud you for uploading, should also include the procedure for tying off. You should be able to climb the ladder with your hands free, we did that with 300 foot safety and work lines together, and you should immediately walk up to the anchor and tie off, then immediately measure off your rope grab so that you are restricted from falling, ergo fall restriction.
      Then show them how to get to the corners safely, since you won't be able to reach with the full length of your rope measured to the sides. Obviously it should just be muscle memory to add slack on your rope grab, and then once you finish the corner go back to the center to set your rope, then back out.
      Every job is different, but yours is a great example of one where you have to be good at this to have a successful business with employees being safe, and I would not trust you whatsoever, and I don't mean this as a slight, I was just one of people educated in this very misunderstood system.
      To the untrained eye this looks fine, you are tied off, but you aren't using fall restraint properly, it's clear you don't have a fall restraint certificate or you aren't applying it's principles to your work. No offense 😂 I know better than most how annoying this stuff is, we had to watch as other window cleaners just broke the law and walked on roofs just like we did when I first started.
      We lost a lot of work because home owners didn't want to install anchors, which we learned to do, also that's why I know how and why those anchors will probably save you from a fall, but aren't designed to, and can fail to save your limbs and life without the manufacturer being responsible. Even if it saves the fall, you are smashing shins if not foreheads against the building as you slip over the edge. Rule of thumb, land on your bum.

    What I hate as a soffit and gutter guy is all the roofers in Florida take off the drip and then put hundreds of nails through the back of the gutter and fascia and then cover it back up with new drip. The amount that we have to ding and destroy the drip to the the nails out is insane. Luckily there’s usually new gutter going up to hide it. But just don’t get why they think nobody else is ever going to work at the house on the soffit, fascia, or gutter.

    With such a big building, are you scared that if you fell off the edge you'd actually still slide your rope down the gutter to the middle and still hit the ground?

      You are correct, with such a big roof there should be more than one anchor point. However I don’t think he’d hit the ground but someone would have to come to his rescue as he’d be stuck hanging over the edge. It is hassle to install tie downs when you’re trying to make a quick buck.

Some of those guys can work some serious magic and can make a huge difference in terms of HOW Much an adjuster is willing to give you to replace your roof/gutters etc.

      You can look up how to place temporary anchors but make sure to research how to repair and replace the shingles. Most work by lifting a row of top shingles nailing to under layer then when your done you caulk the nail holes and replace the shingle that you removed

    You should realize, your safety harness set-up was not going to stop you from hitting the ground, because you had too much slack, plus you need to figure on your lanyard length as well! You would have hit the ground before your lanyard even would have engaged to arrest your fall!

  • @2005JSean
    @2005JSean 5 месяцев назад

    You're showing how to safely do things, but swinging on a one anchor point and walking way out with that line at a very long hypotenuse angle. Think about it...If you fell off the edge, the rope will slip on the gutter that entire length of rope till it gets taught at 90 where the anchor is to catch you. So you're potentially giving yourself enough slack to fall and hit the ground before the line is taught and your prusik/harness grabs. You need to anchor at two points. It will also protect you if you fell off peak, or even fell off the opposite side. The rope line two anchor will catch you either way.
