1 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT thing they missed is if you do fall yes the arrestor will stop you but if your hanging for 10 minutes even in a harness you can still die as the blood flow from your legs is restricted and the sudden release of the toxin build up rushing back to your heart and brain can cause a major heart attack

What questions do you have about fall protection and working at height❓
Great information thank you. Can you have two protection lines attached to the 18" D-ring extender? One line would be adjusted but a second person while going up, and the other line will have a rope graber. Can you do this?
Thanks for watching! I reached out to our fall protection expert, Kevin Muldoon, and this is what he had to say.
"It sounds like this is a vertical lifeline.
The answer is no. Each connection should be connected to an anchor point designed to accept the load of a single person attached. The exception is an Engineered system designed & engineered to have more than one person attached between a series of anchor points. Non-engineered system 5,000lbs. Engineered system averages at least 3,600lbs per worker attached.
Simply put each worker needs to be attached to their own line two people cannot be attached to the same line unless it is engineered expressly for that purpose."
I hope that helps. If you have any other question feel free to contact our fall protection division. They can answer any question you need. www.mazzellacompanies.com/company/contact-us/contact-fall-protection-division/
@@LiftingandRigging Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. Both lines would be for the same person. The second person would be on the ground adjusting one of the lines while the main worker is going up. The second line would be atached to a rope grabber. My question is if you can use two lines atached on the D ring extender but for only one worker. He is a little afraid of hights so he would feel more secure having two lines. I hope you undertand my question... Many blessings.
Here is what our fall protection expert Kevin Muldoon had to say. "Simply put, you can’t have two lines connected to one anchor point for security - the question becomes how about three or four lines. If he had to lines, one would have to be primary and the second secondary each having its own anchor point. An example of this, is “repelling” window washers - rock climbers - equipment specifically designed to have a two line system - but again they have a primary and secondary lines. Each Line has its own anchor point. Hope this answers your question."
@@LiftingandRigging Yes it did. Thank you!
What fall protection would you us, if you are working on top of shipping containers above six feet
Great question. I would suggest a mobile fall protection system. There are several options out there including one that we have done a video on in the past, the XSERIES Mobile Grabber by Malta Dynamics. What they refer to as the "hook in the sky" providing fall protection where there is no anchor point. Feel free to check out the video/article here www.mazzellacompanies.com/learning-center/what-is-the-xseries-mobile-grabber-mobile-fall-protection-unit/

Most falls are caused by trips and stumbles from the ropes. They also add a lot of stress which increases the likelyhood of an incident.
This is why you want to engineer the best type of fall protection solution for your application. You don't want the solution itself adding to the hazard. At Mazzella we supply and install custom engineered fall protection systems so you don't have to worry about tripping over ropes. If you are tripping over ropes, odds are your fall protection system may not be compliant.

Man we had to sit through a safety meeting one time and they handed out a pamphlet and in it was a pic of a guy that had his restraint on to loose and he fell and his balls exploded out of the skin 😢 I have never put mine on loose since then 😂
Wow. Sounds pretty horrible. Be sure to wear all your PPE correctly.
Can I use a endless sling or a sterling sling as anchor ⚓️?
Hi, Joseph. I reached out to our fall protection expert, Kevin Muldoon, to answer this for you.
The answer is no. The reason is that there is no rating for fall protection on these slings. You would need to know the Maximum Arresting force rating. When slings are rated, they are rated for lifting loads gradually. When you have a fall you are going to be shock-loading your system. Fall Protection systems are rated and labeled for a maximum arresting force. Slings are not.
Is there a Spanish version of this?
what is the minimum KN's a carabiner has to be?
24 kn is equivalent to 5400 lbs.
Typical minimum
The typical weight requirement is 5000lbs
Compliant to the OSHA standard - unless the manufacturer of the carabiners specifically specifies a load rating
I noticed in the video around 0:43 that a worker was on the roof using both a 6' lanyard and a retractable connected to each other. I am not certain this is permissible by OSHA or manufactures. Can you clarify? Thanks!
Our experts reached out to Tractel, who designed this system, as well as OSHA, to get a little clarity. When using an SRL that has a snap hook, you cannot attach another snap hook to it. Two snap hooks cannot be connected together. Tractel does engineer lifeline systems that have special SLRs that have an engineered attachment point rather than a snap hook. As this is not a fall arrest system and a fall restraint system, that may have been the case. Unfortunately, we cannot properly see how the lanyard and the SRL are connected in this video to confirm this. The footage was taken many years ago, so Tractel cannot confirm this was the case in this particular video. Thanks for your vigilance, and thanks for watching!
4 feet?!?! How does anything get done??

Bruh this guy a robot?
He says his name is Ben. It’s the gestures that kill his delivery.
painters in a helmet...jesus christ..
Will getting roofing tar on the rope of my fall protection safety harness rope weaken it and make it dangerous?
Getting roofing tar on your harness, lanyard, or SRL could interfere with its proper operation. Therefore this is a cause to remove from service.
