When the safety teacher is actually engaging and informed
Man what fall protection course are you taking😂😂 every one that I’ve been to has guys this concerned considering your life could be on the line. Apparently you need to get out of the area your at
clots go to heart and brain, though?
and like hot!
uninformed is the correct term, literally wrong on almost everything
@@ChaoticIllusionsa lot of people just don’t care and are only doing things for the sole purpose of getting paid.
Give this guy a raise for a clear loud voice that’s easy to follow and loving what he does!
That looks stellar! I've been trained on harnesses before over a decade ago, I can put 'em on and ESPECIALLY take 'em off like nobody's business, but I do NOT remember that feature!
Here's what they taught us, because yeah they told us that blood can pool up in your legs and it's bad, so you know what they taught us to do?
Bicycle kick, to basically dangle up there and work our legs about as though on a job or riding a bicycle.
This looks MUCH better than that!
Oh and thankfully I never suffered a fall... but uh, fellas? Here's something worth remembering IF it is still a part of harness safety training.
You want those straps around your legs to be ROUGHLY tight enough to where you can stick your hand in between the strap and your thigh. You don't want it TOO tight, but you DO NOT WANT IT TOO LOOSE!
Some guys let their harness leg straps hang totally loose, because it might be more comfortable than having the thigh-straps to proper tension.
Here's the safety message, GENTLEMEN... if you want your family jewels to stay in your pretty little coin purse, keep your thigh-straps to proper tension.
Not too tight, and only loose enough to stick one hand between the strap and your thigh.
Yeah I ain't jokin', they went around with a picture on a phone for people to see, I did not look but I received the message LOUD AND CLEAR.
For any who end up going into a profession that involves harnesses, and if you happen to be one whom is in possession of 'dangly bits,' consider yourself in reception of this heartfelt warning from a brother.
I would not wish such a thing on my worst enemy, but well if you don't follow safety procedures then that's the type of thing that can happen.
"Safety, safety, safety."
Everyone deserves to go home at the end of the day, INTACT. A family friend was not so lucky, kids lost their father and a wife was widowed.

As a 15 year Tower Vet this is a fantastic break down of mitigating suspension trauma.
As a 15 year tower vet I’m sure you endeavor to avoid cross-loading carabiners!
@@stvbrsnyeah, that side loaded carabiner would probably fail before the blood clots kill him 😱
@@stvbrsn Legitimately the first thing I noticed too. It's possible he did it intentionally for the purpose of training. It's also possible he didn't know the biner was cross-loaded. That's for him and his class to worry about - time and place situation. What I do think was a poor choice was the person posting this clip to UA-cam without proper context. There's hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people watching this video, many of them working at height without professional training (I'm looking at you Amazon). Plenty of people could see this example and come to believe cross-loading is a safe practice. If they never have that belief corrected and they do find themself compromised in a fall, suspension trauma will be the least of their worries. The Red Cross wouldn't post a video of someone performing CPR incorrectly without proper context - the person operating this channel should have had better judgement. This is irresponsible. As a 10 year tower vet, that's just my 2 cents.
i was worried when he stepped up
This guy got me taking notes and I’m at home
Same!

As a UA-cam commentator I like this comment
@@Moe_510 As a comment section Troll, i wont troll this comment
I worked for a company at some point needing a harness on daily basis, had i known this reality beforehand i wouldn't have went to work there as they didn't have these safety measurements. Tbh, the safety protocols there in general was questionable. Trucks not being grounded, sample scoops from inside the trailer, etc.
This guy is so nice and calm, when I was learning about this it was in Jump school and it was just Sergeant's yelling at you
It's been a long time for me, but from boot camp through every other class, whenever it was the safety briefing the yelling stopped.
Do it wrong and you need a "refresher" and that one might be a bit loud.
Yup, totally correct and it’s great you’re putting this information out for everyone to learn!!!! Thank you!
You can tell he love his job & actually knows wtf he’s talking about 🗣
No the fuck he doesn't.
Yes true, but the blood loses oxygen, then becomes toxic (because of a buildup of Carbon Monoxide) the rest is all in order (as far as I know) after that.
What? You can’t tell 💩 from this
Yeah, you can also tell he has a beautiful wife and kids waiting for him in his home and that he pays his taxes. Ffs, you cannot tell that someone doing his job loves it from this.

My man! God bless all the linemen
Dude even talked about the blood clots you can truly tell he loves his job cause most people would just give the in and outs of it without even talking about the risk and safety
I’d say the risk and safety is the only reason the product exists though..
Yeah because he is promoting a product right? He's not doing an orientation
You gotta create the demand. Gotta make sure they know WHY they need to buy it instead of just “this is how it works.”
I don't understand why that harness is so risky, I've done rock climbing for many many years and nobody told me about that! Granted our harnesses are suspended from the front not the back so maybe that makes a difference?
Well most people wouldn't have actually hung themselves like that just to verbally explain something either
It’s highly recommended you have this setup when your hunting from a tree stand. There’s horror stories of guys falling out of their tree stand, being saved by their harness, but found hours later dead from suspension trauma.
Wow that’s horrible! I suppose it’s easier to say from an outside view but at a certain point when you’re hanging from the harness you just gotta cut it and take the fall from the tree
odd that some harnesses don't have the trauma straps as standard, but an add on that is bought separately.
if you're tied to a tree, there better be spikes on your shoes.
@@DrDeuteron illegal here to have spikes while hunting.
@@vitriolveio wow that’s really easier said than done
He reminds me of my swim team coach. He was very good at demonstrating and teaching. He was super chill, miss that guy

Don't forget to mention you should never work at heights alone, if you're unconscious those straps won't help you, I've worked with so many people who take the unnecessary risk to get the job done quicker 😔
not unnecessary, we just need the money
Roofers be bad for that one.
Same. Also was on site when a dude fell two stories face-first into concrete because he was working without a harness. These people think this shit is a game.
Well is inevitable when you work with stubborn @$$holes that think they know everything, I just let them get f u k ed.
@@EdiieAK Earning money in order to survive with your job shouldn't involve taking risks. That's why fair salaries and safety rules should be standard. If people don't respect safety standards it will only go downhill and at one point workers will be forced to ignore safety rules, because finishing early will be more or less expected.
Absolutely MUST become an OSHA requirement in all fall protection harnesses.
100% agreed
Agreed!
I thought all fall protection required the straps
@@shadyshinichi2JZ nope, recently started a maintenance course and out of the 6 people in my class between 4 different departments I'm the only one who got a harness that came with 2 straps with foot loops instead of like the one in the video.

That's so handy to know, much appreciated.
Very fantastic information and the visuals
I don’t know when I’ll ever need this, but it’s always good to be prepared.
Technically any time you are near a 6 foot drop or higher
Probably around the same time you really need that harness too lol
A lot cavers die due to this so it could be kinda useful I guess
Honestly might be nice to just get your legs moving around every once in a while so your not going numb
I were one of these harnesses everyday for work. This is the equivalent to having a tourniquet in my line of work.
There is nothing better than a training instructor that's into it.
This might be one of the most valuable pieces of information I've ever learned from a UA-cam video
Thanks Mr. Safety Rep, for teaching me something I've never seen or been aware of
Him actually being engaged with what he's teaching helps you learn, also he was quick and swift when presenting it.

I learned about this in my union carpenter trade school as well. My teacher also informed us you want to keep that harness snug to your body as well. He said how he knew a guy who kept his harness loose and when he felt, the force of the fall into a slack harness caused him to literally tear out one of his testicles.. keep that in mind boys 😉
That would seriously ruin your day

This is actual useful information…. Good on you broski
Incidentally, this is why heights work should never be done alone. You should always have someone near by that can call for help. And yes, they should ALWAYS call for help first before ever trying to rescue themselves.
Exactly!
Meh i'm already dead if it gets to that point, my harness was in the van. xD
Having a rescue plan and a backup rescue plan where you work can save a life . When seconds counts helps is always minutes away
They do now. In every industrial job ive been they got a "buddy system" no one can go work alone in the unit.
Most construction work should be done partners
When I took classes on this very situation. The teacher said if you ever help someone back over into a basket. Don't let the person sit down or lay down because of the clots could reach their heart and brain. Hold them up if you have to for as long as possible. That is a great thing to have on the harness very well needed.
You have them sit in the W Position for 30 minutes to let the carbon dioxide that built up in the blood slowly dissipate. Kinda like putting a kink in a waterhose and slowly letting the water flow. The worst thing someone can do once getting down is to lay down or sit in any other position.

This device has actually saved me before. I was up in a Genie, essentially a bucket lift on a boom. I was upgrading the lighting, mofuggah didn't look up when using the crane, so I had to jump out of the genie cuz the crane was gonna collide, and it just demolished it. And because it knocked the crane off track, AND our other genie was broke down, no one could get me down for like 90 minutes. Freaking sucked, but it was good that I actually had all the PPE I needed.
Dayum. Good thing you were paying attention, unlike the crane driver
Wow. Thankful you are still here. Glad you had this. Sending you all my best wishes!
Terrifying. We have two Genie's at my job. Our protocol with them is a two man crew at all times. Whether it's stationary or moving to next job location.
Now I kinda feel like an idiot for the number of times I've been in 50ft boom with no harness
Once I was about 120ft up a tower and the radio mount was obstructing my path in such a way there were no good tie off points. As I was nearly around the radio to get to a good place to tie off, my foot slipped. Having said that, after knowing that fear, I’m glad you’re still here to tell the tale. Stay safe out there folks
Wow! This is good information.
Very well presented. 🙏
He speaks with such confidence and with a clear voice. Wish I could do the same lol😨
I got stuck in a tight spot(welding fire) a few years ago and ended up repelling down from a 90ft boom lift. The company that I work for has a mandatory rule that you keep a 200ft rope in any lift that you are operating and I had a 3M safety harness on so I hitched up the rope to the basket hooks and repelled down. It was the scariest shit I've ever done but I am still alive. When things go wrong on a jobsite and it's 100ft in the air, you are willing to do anything to get to safety.
I'll never forget that video of the 2 guys working on a wind turbine when it caught fire leaving them stuck on top of the turbine. Heartbreaking video. That's why I could never do a job that involves those kind of heights. Mad respect to the people that do.

@@theyluvjody Actually?
I'm in industrial rescue team leader and we had an incident where a plumber needed to be lowered down into a pit so that he could connect a couple pipes to the bracket supporting them to the outside of the pit. He forgot his actual rappelling harness and decided to do the job with a Miller fall protection harness. The workers attached the carabiner to his back and lowered him in like that. Apparently he started complaining of pain in his legs after about 6 minutes. according to the attendant and his partner a few minutes later he placed his feet on either side of the pipe and forced himself up a little bit to relieve the pressure on his legs. A blood clot had formed in his femoral artery and as soon as he relieved the pressure on his legs, the straps acting like a tourniquet the blood-clot migrated. An understanding of suspension trauma and why it is important to wear a proper harness is very important. To make matters worse the individual who lowered him into the pit was unable to pull him back out because in a panic he dropped his 3:1 conversion down to the bottom of the pit and was unable to pull him up with just the 1:1 tag line. We were actually there providing standby rescue for a completely different confined space and a plant employee came running up to us asking us for assistance. He was completely unresponsive when we managed to get him out of the pit. A few months after the incident I spoke to an individual from that company and it turns out that that man is permanently disabled. I'm very sad and also totally avoidable situation.
Thank you for sharing. Wow, what a situation. We can learn from these things, absolutely.
Why are these miller fall prevention harnesses used when harnesses that won't cut off circulation exist?
@@CouchPotator probably cost. The ones that are meant for rappelling/climbing are more heavy duty because they are more likely to be used under full pressure often. Fall harnesses are there in case something happens, rather than meant as a helping hand. Different situations to be engineered for. Also fall harnesses have shear points that rip when someone falls to slow the fall, and are meant to be thrown out afterwards
Why did they allow him to work with improper gear? That’s so sad.
this would be similar to crush syndrome yes?
I had so idea this was even a thing. I’m lineman and we are trained for pole top and bucket rescues. Great video and and great instructor imo.
My cousin passed exactly because of this trauma. Climbing accident, she hung, practically unharmed, for few hours before rescue team arrived. She was airlifted to take her to a hospital, but shortly after being on a stretcher she complained of feeling unwell and feint, before falling into a coma. She passed that same day in hospital.
She would have been with us, had these straps been a standard climbing equipment...
My sympathies to families of all those who died this way...
I'd go farther and say why not just make a harness that's works- I climb trees for a living and our harnesses can be sat in for hrs.
I'm truly sorry to hear about this.
@@IsraelistheJewsland try rock climbing in one. Even a big wall harness is too cumbersome and heavy for most people to tolerate wearing while free climbing anything challenging. More than likely climbers will have something on their harness to be able to do something similar to what’s shown in the video. Unfortunately I believe the problem would be not knowing the dangers of sustained hanging in the harness (or being too banged up from the fall to be able to do what is needed).
A climbing accident... So she would have fallen to her death otherwise. At least there was a chance or survival with the harness. Do you even think before you type?
The worst part is you using your cousin's death as justification to promote ignorance. Do you have no shame?

You wouldn't have lost your legs, you would have lost your life. Suspension trauma can kill you in two ways, first one is when too much blood geht's confined in your legs, second when this blood becomes toxic and rushes back to your heart. So the point when your legs are cut off your bloodstream long enough you might loose them, you have bigger problems.

@@Maxwelldog Half of them just went through the motions. They'd been doing it for so long it became hard for them to really care about the 80 students they had in each of their classes. I graduated with a 3.6 thanks to tutors who actually explained the material. I still would have graduated with a 3.6 with just a syllabus and tutors.
That's what tenure does. Makes for complacency and zero shits.
My safety instructor also told me "If you don't properly fix those straps you may go up a man but if you fall you're coming back down a woman"😭
Brilliant lmfao, tell a story, leave just enough up to the imagination, give perfect motivation to act safer
Lol
Your instructor is 💯 right, I know it sucks especially in the summer but I always keep myn loose until I’m going to tie off
😂 that's a good one
After you’ve seen the pictures, you’ll always keep those straps tight. 😅
Riley out here killin it
Excellent explanation and demo!
I work with fall suspended protection and I didn’t know what these straps were for and now I do I appreciate the knowledge
And knowing is half the battle 😉👍

.... don't get the reference? Ask your parents, kids.
@@The_Notorious_N.O.E. G. I. JOE!!!!!…..
Ah, the memories……
😁👍😉
I used to work at height on commercial airliners and cargo aircraft. Our harnesses didn’t have these straps and on about half of the harness setups, the lock reels didn’t work.
We were told to try to lay back in the harness to take the weight off our arteries. Instead, nobody wore the harnesses after seeing two falls involving failed inertia lock reels.
E will you now be using these? Or carry on working with the risk of now possibly death before rescue?
@@alexwu8077 I would think that once any employee saw that the PPE was broken or damaged in any way that they would report it to the higher-ups to gave it replaced or repaired. And if you did report it but nothing was done you should have contacted OSHA IMMEDIATELY! I would think a threat of an employee calling osha would get a supervisor to get things taken care of lol
I got OSHA certified and during the class they showed a visual render of the clots, carbon dioxide buildup, release and shock as well as a few videos of it happening in real life, I'm glad other people learn about this it's very important to know about stuff like this
For who? does the average desk worker need suspension training? At height training? Morons like you are why I'm so active in comments.. Hi I work at heights and its not uncommon to have some knucklehead move the basket while your working job sites are boring you make your own fun.. Suspended 30 min straight no skipping rope to stand on no clots no trauma..
Yep. Same here. They even showed a real life picture of some poor guy who's balls were literally blown out
My OSHA certification class was a joke. My highschool vocational teacher was able to certify us.
@@lesliechow4326 my dads an ironworker and he always told me about a guy he saw that fell and wasn’t wearing his harness right and his balls got blown out I believe him now😅
How do turniquets (sp?) Not cause blood clots?
Thanks , I didn't know about that 10 mins can cause suspension trauma. Lean valuable about that red strap.
This guy's one hell of a speaker, and this is a great invention. This man is doing good work
This is why in flight training if you have to eject and you’re chuting down to the ground and end up in a tree or power line, they tell you it’s better to just detach and fall.
Yep, a broken leg(or two) is infinitely better than a blood clot in the brain.
Why don't they also have the same trauma straps then?
I cannot stress this enough: this is not just a salesman selling a product, this is so real and has killed many people
Great info always learning something new.
Outstanding presentation!!!
Fair winds and following seas to all.
Clear, concise, and direct, this is the safety guy everyone needs. 😊
Demonstrating safety, with a side-loaded carabiner… is a fail
The only thing that’s traumatizing to me is the way that Carabiner is positioned 😊
I wanted to see if anyone else noticed 😂😂 just look how safe the safety people really are lol
I came to mention the cross loaded carabiner too!
That gate-loaded carabiner is inducing trauma to me.
Thank God somebody else noticed. I've been trained in this kind of stuff and that Carabiner placement made me irrationally angry
Scrolled through all the comments to find this one! Cross-loaded biner, ugh!
Very interesting, thanks for posting! 👍
I’ve worn a few harnesses working construction never knew about suspension trauma that’s insane need this class all across America
For context, this is very similar to a crush injury. The blood becomes "toxic" due to a buildup of lactic acid from anaerobic metabolism dude to the oxygen being depleted. If you're still up there you can have cellular death which will cause the cells to actually rupture and release a lot of potassium and proteins into your blood. The proteins can work to clog up your kidneys and cause something called rhabdomyolysis. And the potassium actually can give your heart a fatal arrhythmia because it causes your EKG Rhythm to turn into a sine wave rather than the normal QRS complex. This means that your heart will stop beating efficiently and stop pumping blood which will cause you to have cardiac arrest.
Treatments for Crush injuries can be started by EMS and include IV fluids, IV bicarbonate, IV calcium (you must be extremely careful to not mix bicarbonate and calcium in the same IV line without flushing heavily because they will turn into limestone in the IV), and continuous administration of Albuterol through a nebulizer. Fluids will help protect your kidneys by giving the proteins more fluid to help them pass, bicarbonate and calcium will help with the acidity from the lactic acid, and the calcium and albuterol will help counteract the potassium by balancing the potential and by shuttling it into other cells where it can be safely held for a bit.
This is the type of comment I absolutely love to see on the internet. Thorough. Thank you!
Thank You ❤❤❤❤
I am a Doctor after that comment. 🔥
Thank you for the education
Damn, feel like I just got my doctorates degree after reading this masterpiece 👨🏿🎓👨🏿⚕️
This man may have just saved quite a few lives just by having this video posted. 💪🏾
If you don’t know how to use a harness you won’t be in one.
@@CANControlGRAFFITI if you really think that’s true, I got a bridge to sell ya lmaooo. That’s not how real life works
@@CANControlGRAFFITI in the real world there are lots of guys out there risking it everyday in a harness that do not know about this device. Out of the dozens of older guys i have worked with not a single one had one of these on their harness or much less knew about them. I am the youngest guy on the crew and will start wearing this device, and pushing it onto my older mentors. Stop assuming everyone gets state of the art training.
YES!!!!! I love new safety equipment advancements. Engaging the masses, I fully support this and you. Thank you for doing this work!!!!!!
In order of the greatest things the union is responsible for and has changed the lives of us all. #1 is by far safety requirements, holding companies liable for lack of safety provisions. #2. Time constraints, over time, lunch breaks, additional breaks, 40 hr weeks before additional pay. #3 labor exploitation, child labor laws, mental or physical disability, intimidating tactics, etc. Notice I didn't mention pay. Yeah pay scales are great, however in ranking of importance its the lowest. Getting home again, not working endlessly until die. Or have someone take advantage of subordinates to work them to death, changed it all. Guys like to laugh at the crews work in sandals, on bamboo scaffold, demo a concrete slab with a sledge to be left standing on a post, countless guys loading and unloading equipment without ramps, hand digging fellow miners out of collapses. " oh look how great this is" no its killing those people daily.
Thanks for hanging around to teach us life-saving techniques
After leaving school I worked in a warehouse for a while. They had all sorts of safety protocols after an accident but then we got to the part where someone was suspended or hanging in a harness like this man. They explained how little time you have and how quickly it passes. They said just do whatever you have to do and get them down ASAP. I just remember completely understanding the seriousness of this incident type.
I know a lot of tree surgeons and you can get this trauma from not even falling. Just actually working up the tree apparently has a time limit due to the harnesses. But obviously, thats a situation where you put yourself in the situation with a way out. Just free hanging off a bridge or something is a totally different story.
@@Nbomber several stories really
@@CokeAMor lol. Good one
Something needs to be added here. If you don't have trauma straps, lift your knees up to your torso and hold your knees with your hands. That will enable you to stay suspended longer, but not the same length as trauma straps.
Not everybody can do that :D Though most people working on roofs probably can..
Isn't this a sales pitch for the trauma straps? That's what I thought lol they ain't giving you anything other than their product being the one and only! LOL
@@hightalenttraining7546 I understood this as training.
But honestly, even if it was a sales pitch, it’s literally just a strap. If you didn’t want to buy one you could make something similar super easily.
P.S. trauma straps is a generic name for this type of safety gear, not a brand name.
@@hightalenttraining7546You could use rope if you're too poor for nylon webbing. That's all it is. Well-stitched nylon webbing.
For construction these are not usually issued by the contractor. This is a life saving sales pitch to the people wearing the harness. When I reality no harness should come without them!
Awesome! We did not have that piece of kit back in my day, and i am very happy to see that an advancement has been made!
